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."The product is scalable. The solution is stable."
"It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."
"Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"The best feature of Graylog is the Elasticsearch integration. We can integrate and we can run filters, such as an event of interest, and those logs we can send to any SIEM tool or as an analytic. Additionally, there are clear and well-documented implementation instructions on their website to follow if needed."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"What I like about Graylog is that it's real-time and you have access to the raw data. So, you ingest it, and you have access to every message and every data item you ingest. You can then build analytics on top of that. You can look at the raw data, and you can do some volumetric estimations, such as how big traffic you have, how many messages of data of a type you have, etc."
"I am very proud of how very stable the solution is."
"I like the correlation and the alerting."
"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. This is very helpful."
"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 nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"The most valuable features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities."
"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."
"Dashboards, stream alerts and parsing could be improved."
"Over six months, I had two similar issues where searches were performed on field "messages". It exhausted all the memory of the ES node causing an ES crash and a Graylog halt."
"With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license."
"I hope to see improvements in Graylog for more interactivity, user-friendliness, and creating alerts. The initial setup is complex."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."
"Since container orchestration systems are popular and Graylog fits the niche well, perhaps they could officially support running in docker containers on Kubernetes as a StatefulSet as a use case. That way, the declarative nature of Kubernetes config files would document their best case deployment scenario-"
"It would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"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."
"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."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
