Pros
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports""It is stable.""The initial setup is straightforward""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.""It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use.""I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them.""The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."

"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do.""The ability to ingest Office 365 log files, then process them into events and display them on a map.""Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall.""The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model.""The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily.""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.""We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations.""During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint."

Cons
"I would like to see more detailed reports.""It may not be as easy to use as Splunk.""The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability.""The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier.""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.""The first tier of customer service and support is not great.""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.""The scalability is limited."

More ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer Cons →

"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition.""The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet.""Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement.""Lacks a mobile application.""I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR.""The dashboard is an area that could be simplified.""Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries.""They should add more configuration and security features to it."
