We performed a comparison between ManageEngine Log360 and Splunk Cloud Platform 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."ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"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."
"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."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's most valuable features are enterprise security and ticketing integration."
"Everything is maintained by the Splunk support team. Users do not have to maintain any physical servers. They do not have to maintain indexes and searches. It reduces a lot of work on the user side."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its flexibility and readiness because it's already prebuilt, and everything is click-to-go."
"We haven't had any limitations or problems connecting to our network devices."
"The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based."
"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"The log search capabilities are very good."
"This is a complete log reporting tool."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"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 solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"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."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements."
"I have not come across anything that I would consider missing as such. If anything, sometimes we have dashboards that would not go into the dark mode. It is a minor issue, but it is the only thing that I wish was there. The dark mode would definitely help."
"Every time they launch new versions, we experience a few bugs. The most recent version had a couple of bugs in the databases. We contacted the vendor and got assistance solving these bugs, so the environment is more stable."
"The search for bulk data needs to be improved. When we were looking for the flow, we had to search really hard. I wanted to request the Splunk team to add some features for better search because getting the flow of the bulk data was sometimes hard."
"Splunk should increase the frequency of new feature releases, particularly those related to real-time operational flow monitoring and analytics reporting."
"There is sometimes no documentation or updated documentation available."
"Its stability and performance can be better. Very rarely does a day go by when we do not see an error in the console, such as a health check error. Because it is cloud-hosted, we do not have access to the backend to figure it out ourselves. We are reliant on their support to figure it out, and a couple of days later, the error comes back or it is a different error. It is a never-ending cycle of support tickets. Their support is also not great."
