Works across multiple systems & platforms. Pros Provides essential log-in info for multiple platforms --- in our case, Windows servers and IBMi systems. Browser-based access to a simple dashboard. Cons sometimes features don't really work right, or don't provide the level of detail we expect.

That's where Log360 comes handy. Also, easy to setup, intuitive UI and Integration with other 3rd party. Pros Our client loves the visibility across all System, Networks, AWS, Azure as well to Active Directory, which comes very handy during DDOS attacks. NOC team and Senior stakeholder needs 360 livability across all Intrusion. This is something can only be achieved via Log360. Cons We had given Demo's as well arranged POC's for large client base in Australia. So far, we are yet to hear of anything that Log360 cannot do. Alternatives considered [Splunk Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/94317/Splunk/) Reason for choosing ManageEngine Log360 Splunk was coming too expensive for our client. Moreover, they ought to have specialist who can setup, configure Splunk, which in-turn adds to the cost. Log360 eliminates that, as UI is very Intuitive and can be self-taught within a week.

Pros \- It's cloud-based, which means less maintenance, updates, etc. - Centralized log management: if you have tens of servers, VMs, switches, routers, apps, etc, in the most common cases almost all the logs will be ignored or only checked when a problem arises. With this platform you can simplify analysis and troubleshooting. - Real-time protection: it can detect, identify and response to different threats within a real-time monitoring. - It includes automatic compliance reportings for regulations like GDPR. - Easy to use through its GUI. Cons \- Pricing could be "high" depending on your needs. - When your assigned space is full, it doesn’t automatically overwrite the older logs. The log collection is stopped until the older logs are out of your time range. - It could be difficult to integrate with some third party applications. Review Source HT Hakim T.
