We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The reports that you can run are really nice.""The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox.""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.""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 Sharecon feature is the most valuable.""The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already.""We haven't had any stability issues."

Cons
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed.""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.""We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot.""The support needs improvement.""The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment.""Most times log sheets are not assigned well.""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."

More ManageEngine Log360 Cons →

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