Cons
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment.""The solution lacks some features when compared to other products.""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.""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.""Their technical support should be improved.""The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities.""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."

More ManageEngine Log360 Cons →

"Technical support could definitely be better.""SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server could improve by reducing the price.""I would like to have email notifications for emergency logs.""I would like to see better search functions and better filters in the next release.""I would like to see a more user-friendly and customizable dashboard."
