We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and ManageEngine Log360 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the scalability. We are in Indonesia, more engineers understand Elastic Security here. So it is easier to scale and also develop. In features, the discovery to query all the logs is very important to us. It is very easy, especially with the query function and the feature to generate alerts and create tools. Sometimes we use the alert security dashboard to monitor our clients."
"The most valuable thing is that this solution is widely used for work management and research. It's easy to jump into the security use case with the same technology."
"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"What customers found most valuable in Elastic Security feature-wise is the search capability, in particular, the way of writing the search query and the speed of searching for results."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"The most valuable features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"The solution's query building is not that intuitive compared to other solutions."
"Its documentation should be a bit better. I have to spend at least a couple of hours to find the solution for a simple thing. When we buy Elastic, training is not included for free with Elastic. We have to pay extra for the training. They should include training in the price."
"Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good."
"Improvements in Elastic Security could include refining and normalizing queries to make them more user-friendly, enhancing the user experience with better documentation, and addressing any latency issues."
"There should be a simulation environment to check whether my Elastic implementation is functioning perfectly fine. Other solutions have their own Android and iOS applications that I can install on my mobile so that I am continuously connected to the SIEM."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"The support needs improvement."
"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
