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."The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"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 solution is quite user-friendly."
"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."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"The interface of the solution is good."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"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 support needs improvement."
"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."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"The tool is expensive."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
"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."
"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."
"Technical support should be improved."
