We performed a comparison between ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer and SolarWinds Security Event Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features in my experience are the UEBA, LDAP, the threat scheduler, and integration with third-party straight perform like the MISP."
"The pricing of the product is excellent."
"It is always correlating to IOCs for normal attacks, using Azure-related resources. For example, if any illegitimate IP starts unusual activity on our Azure firewall, then it automatically generates an alarm for us."
"The AI capability is one of the main features of the solution because I believe that in the market, there are few solutions that are providing security solutions based on AI and machine learning."
"The connectivity and analytics are great."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"It is easy to implement (turn on) - does need a skilled analyst to develop queries and playbooks."
"The most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"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 most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The user interface is very good."
"It is stable."
"The out of the box reports and dashboard. It was easy to trim down these windows to something we could quickly use."
"The solution helps you monitor database instances, application instances, other customer application things, Linux servers, IBM servers, and Oracle servers."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for the end user."
"This tool is simple to use."
"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 most valuable feature is the reporting."
"It's easy to build rules and actions based on the logs and event types we collect with the software."
"It performs network behavior monitoring, log monitoring, and disaster recovery monitoring."
"I would like to be able to monitor applications outside of the Azure Cloud."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
"The playbook development environment is not as rich as it should be. There are multiple occasions when we face problems while creating the playbook."
"In terms of features I would like to see in future releases, I'm interested in a few more use cases around automation. I do believe a lot of automation is available, and more is in progress, but that would be my area of interest."
"The data connectors for third-party tools could be improved, as some aren't available in Sentinel. They need to be available in the data connector panel."
"Given that I am in the small business space, I wish they would make it easier to operate Sentinel without being a Sentinel expert. Examples of things that could be easier are creating alerts and automations from scratch and designing workbooks."
"Sometimes, it is hard for us to estimate the costs of Microsoft Sentinel."
"I would like Sentinel to have more out-of-the-box analytics rules. There are already more than 400 rules, but they could add more industry-specific ones. For example, you could have sets of out-of-the-box rules for banking, financial sector, insurance, automotive, etc., so it's easier for people to use it out of the box. Structuring the rules according to industry might help us."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"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 solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The scalability is limited."
"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."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"One of the drawbacks of being so flexible is that it is also a fairly complicated software application to install, configure, and maintain."
"I would like to have a more customizable dashboard."
"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 product should improve the ease with which you can create event alerts. They are not as hard now but you need to have an easier way."
"It can be difficult for users who are inexperienced with the solution."
"We'd like more customization capabilities."
"I imagine we will have to develop our own reports soon, this seems to be more cumbersome."
"We used the support from SolarWinds Security Event Manager and they are knowledgeable but challenging to get in contact with them."
