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 deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"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."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"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."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"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."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"I like the interface."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The support needs improvement."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"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 matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"The tool is expensive."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"The solution is a very good tool, but it has a lot of limitations. One of the main issues is around how you define your retention policy, for instance, in Log Insight. It doesn't have it. You can't define a log retention policy. You also can't define the destination or location for your logs. All of the logs are in one index or one bucket."
"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."
