We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications.""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.""We haven't had any stability issues.""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 solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox.""ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy.""The product is very user-friendly."

"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good.""One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this.""The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources.""The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this.""The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart.""Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network.""The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure.""The tool is simple to use."

Cons
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment.""The support needs improvement.""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.""The solution lacks some features when compared to other products.""It is not expensive compared to other solutions.""The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved.""There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."

More ManageEngine Log360 Cons →

"Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar.""I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability.""I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard.""The dashboard and customer view should be improved""There is no integration in the web-side of the tool.""You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced.""This product's connection to certain types of cloud systems could be improved. We can do Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, but there are a lot of other things happening in the cloud that we do not connect well enough to. This product could be improved with better connection to cloud-based solutions.""There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms."
