We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports""I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them.""ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs.""The user interface is very good.""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 most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration.""It is stable."

"The UI is very good.""The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model.""I like that it's a cloud-based solution.""The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days.""Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network.""I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability""It improved my organization by building a security alerting program.""Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"

Cons
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple.""It may not be as easy to use as Splunk.""Support could improve to make the solution better.""The scalability is limited.""The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities.""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.""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."

"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal.""Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution.""The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources.""The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules.""The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems.""I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert.""They should add more configuration and security features to it.""The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."
