Quotes From Members
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.""It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy.""The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox.""The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already.""The product is very user-friendly.""We haven't had any stability issues.""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.""The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."

"I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things.""The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions. We get millions of data points within seconds.""The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the alerting feature.""Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable.""The solution is user friendly and has extensive uses.""The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup.""Not having to manage Splunk Cloud's infrastructure is valuable.""This is a complete log reporting tool."

Cons
"Their technical support should be improved.""The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed.""We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot.""It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment.""The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities.""The solution lacks some features when compared to other products.""The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved.""Most times log sheets are not assigned well."

More ManageEngine Log360 Cons →

"The training models can only be accessed for 30 days, even if it is paid training.""The pricing model makes the product costly.""Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved.""I have not come across anything that I would consider missing as such. If anything, sometimes we have dashboards that would not go into the dark mode. It is a minor issue, but it is the only thing that I wish was there. The dark mode would definitely help.""From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it.""There can be more modules and more integration with other areas in the cloud and on-prem. I am not sure whether it includes network devices and things like that.""Splunk Cloud could improve by having pre-defined templates. It has very good design views, but there is no predefined template. You have to define your own. If they could add predefined templates for different use cases.""When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is a cost for each feature used."
  • "Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
  • "My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."
  • "ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
  • "Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
  • More ManageEngine Log360 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing is based on the amount of data that we send to the cloud on a daily basis."
  • "The price is something that people complain about."
  • "The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
  • "The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
  • "There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
  • "The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
  • "I am familiar with the pricing and licensing model a little bit. I am not sure about the particulars of the actual price that we have, but I do like the idea of going towards a more CPU-based approach rather than the ingest approach because it allows us the ability to ingest more data if we need it."
  • "It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."
