Pros
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs.""The initial setup is straightforward""The user interface is very good.""What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team.""The tool's reports show activities.""The log management has helped to improve my organization.""It is stable.""It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."

"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly.""Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network.""Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​""I like that it's a cloud-based solution.""Dashboards, including the main screen, provide much-needed information at a glance, without hours of coding and sifting through logs to find it. In case of an actual security incident, I have faith that insightIDR has retained all logs in a secure manner that prevents log tampering as well.""Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall.""I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability""The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."

Cons
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great.""The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities.""There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties.""What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better.""There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple.""I would like to see more detailed reports.""Support could improve to make the solution better.""It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."

More ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer Cons →

"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement.""The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems.""Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one.""Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps.""Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition.""It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​""I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert.""I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
