We performed a comparison between ManageEngine Log360 and VMware Aria Operations for Logs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We haven't had any stability issues."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"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."
"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."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"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 solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"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."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"The support needs improvement."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"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."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"What I'd like to improve in vRealize Log Insight is the licensing model. VMware provides vRealize Log Insight along with the VMware Cloud Foundation, but customers who would like to go for the native VMware would have to procure vRealize Log Insight separately. Today, vRealize Log Insight is offered on two different licenses, one is based on the number of VMs, and the other is based on the number of physical codes on the machine. If VMware can provide a bundle offer for customers who procure more than ten licenses, where you can have an option to run, for example, three hundred machines on vRealize Log Insight with no extra cost, this would encourage more people to adopt the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of vRealize Log Insight is for a cloud option to be available, which would be a pay-as-you-go licensing model that would allow me to pick and choose what I'll monitor. For example, I have one thousand and three hundred critical servers, and the seven hundred servers for basic development, I don't want to monitor on vRealize Log Insight today, so I should be able to pick what I need to monitor on the solution and only pay for that specific instance. If VMware can apply these changes, it would help VMware customers to procure more or adopt more of vRealize Log Insight even in smaller projects."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
