Pros
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy.""The product is very user-friendly.""You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners.

Cons
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment.""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.""The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities.""Most times log sheets are not assigned well.""The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment.""We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot.""The solution lacks some features when compared to other products.""Their technical support should be improved."

"What I'd like to improve in vRealize Log Insight is the licensing model. VMware provides vRealize Log Insight along with the VMware Cloud Foundation, but customers who would like to go for the native VMware would have to procure vRealize Log Insight separately. Today, vRealize Log Insight is offered on two different licenses, one is based on the number of VMs, and the other is based on the number of physical codes on the machine. If VMware can provide a bundle offer for customers who procure more than ten licenses, where you can have an option to run, for example, three hundred machines on vRealize Log Insight with no extra cost, this would encourage more people to adopt the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of vRealize Log Insight is for a cloud option to be available, which would be a pay-as-you-go licensing model that would allow me to pick and choose what I'll monitor. For example, I have one thousand and three hundred critical servers, and the seven hundred servers for basic development, I don't want to monitor on vRealize Log Insight today, so I should be able to pick what I need to monitor on the solution and only pay for that specific instance. If VMware can apply these changes, it would help VMware customers to procure more or adopt more of vRealize Log Insight even in smaller projects.""From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly.""The pricing of the solution could be improved.""The solution isn't user-friendly for admins.""Log retention should have more options for user control.""The tool is expensive.""They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly.""Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is a cost for each feature used."
  • "Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
  • "My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."
  • "ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
  • "Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
  • More ManageEngine Log360 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing could always be lower. If it were free, I would be more satisfied."
  • "The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."
  • "Pricing is good because it is part of the suite package. It comes in a bundle for us."
  • "The licensing cost for vRealize Log Insight is a little higher, so in terms of cost, it all depends upon what kind of environment you have. If you have a complete virtualized environment, or at least you're using a ninety-five percent virtualized environment, then vRealize Log Insight will play a very good role because it is a VMware component, so it has very tight integration with other VMware components and systems. This means you don't have to procure any other monitoring and management tool, and you don't need a separate automation tool. vRealize Log Insight will have an upper hand if your environment is purely virtualized on VMware. If you're using a mix of physical and virtual components, for example, a 50:50 ratio, then you need to have a third-party component to manage overall monitoring."
  • "I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."
  • "I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "I think it is a reasonably priced product."
  • "The pricing has been updated recently."
