We performed a comparison between Graylog 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."Storing logs in Elasticsearch means log retrieval is extremely fast, and full text search is available by default."
"I like the correlation and the alerting."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface."
"Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."
"The build is stable and requires little maintenance, even compared to some extremely expensive products."
"Open source and user friendly."
"One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"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."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."
"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."
"I hope to see improvements in Graylog for more interactivity, user-friendliness, and creating alerts. The initial setup is complex."
"More customization is always useful."
"Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes."
"We ran into problems with Elasticsearch throwing a circuit-breaking exception due to field data size being too large. It turned out that the heap size directly impacted this size in a high-throughput environment, causing unexplained instability in Graylog. We were able to troubleshoot on the Elasticsearch size, but we should have been able to reference some minimum requirements for Graylog to know that our settings weren't sufficient."
"Elasticsearch recommendations for tuning could be better. Graylog doesn't have direct support for running the system inside of Kubernetes, so it can be challenging to fill in the gaps and set up containers in a way that is both performant and stable."
"It would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community."
"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."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
