"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 solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"The out of the box reports and dashboard. It was easy to trim down these windows to something we could quickly use."
"It has in-depth monitoring capabilities and an easy way for setting up dashboards. I can expand in various areas, or I can reduce areas. It supports different types of breakdowns, filters, and rules. It is very simple for an out-of-the-box type of product. It doesn't take a lot of time to figure it out, which is unlike some of the solutions that I have looked at. It meets all the aspects."
"The solution helps me to go back in time and search for different events. For example, if you wanted to know who activated an account; you could go back in time and find out."
"SolarWinds is effective for server, network, and log monitoring. It's also good for IP address management. We also have a patch manager, but we're still working on getting that operational."
"The graphical user interface is very user-friendly. SolarWinds is a hybrid solution so you can use it across many platforms."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is the analysis and the knowledge about the incidence that we trace."
"SolarWinds is easy to configure, and it provides timely alerts."
"SolarWinds' stability is fine. I don't think we've had any software issues."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"There are no multiple dashboards which would allow you to see information side-by-side."
"The reporting could be more robust. It can be a lot more granular and that will make it a lot more useful in comparison to how it is incorporated at the moment."
"The company had to use a third party for the implementation of the solution."
"I would like to have a more customizable dashboard."
"We'd like more customization capabilities."
"SolarWinds should improve its correlation capabilities. The correlation does not automatically detect and reduce the events fast enough. You have to manually do a correlation report, which means the tool is not scalable in many ways."
"I imagine we will have to develop our own reports soon, this seems to be more cumbersome."
"The solution's technical support is okay, but we don't have an SLA, and sometimes the response times are very slow."
