Quick answer

ManageEngine Log360 is the unified SIEM (Security Information & Event Management) flagship of ManageEngine (the enterprise IT-management division of Zoho Corp) — the affordable, predictable-cost, on-prem-capable alternative to Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel and IBM QRadar. What it does: it unifies log management and security analytics into one SIEM — it collects and correlates logs across the whole estate (servers, network, endpoints, cloud, Active Directory), detects threats with built-in UEBA (user & entity behaviour analytics) and threat intelligence, and lets you investigate and respond with incident management and SOAR (security orchestration, automation & response) — plus file integrity monitoring, cloud security (CASB), Active Directory auditing, and thousands of out-of-the-box compliance report templates (PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX and India's requirements). So you detect threats, investigate, respond and prove compliance from one platform. Its defining edge is PREDICTABLE VALUE: Log360 is priced by the number of LOG SOURCES (devices) monitored, with UNLIMITED users — a major TCO advantage over Splunk's data-VOLUME (ingest) pricing, which is famously expensive and unpredictable. It deploys fast, and — crucially for India — it runs BOTH on-premises AND in the cloud (Log360 Cloud, with Vigil IQ TDIR), so regulated, government and data-localisation-sensitive organisations can keep security data in their own environment. It's from ManageEngine, an India-champion: Zoho Corp is bootstrapped (no VC/IPO), headquartered in Chennai under founder Sridhar Vembu, with data centres in Chennai and Mumbai. ManageEngine says its software powers 280,000+ organisations worldwide including 9 of every 10 Fortune 100 companies. Its AI, Zia, is woven in. From ManageEngine — real SIEM, affordable and predictable, on-prem or cloud. TechBag scopes, licenses and supports it in INR/GST for Indian organisations. Read more ↓ Show less ↑

Under the hood

The five pieces of the platform

Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.

01
The foundation

Log Collection & Correlation

Ingest the whole estate

Collect and normalise logs from across the estate — servers, network devices, endpoints, cloud, applications and Active Directory — then correlate events in real time to spot attack patterns. The base of the SIEM: nothing unseen, events joined up. Logs in, signal out.

02
The analytics

Threat Detection (UEBA + TI)

Find the threats

Built-in UEBA (user & entity behaviour analytics) baselines normal behaviour and flags anomalies, while threat intelligence feeds catch known-bad indicators — so insider threats, compromised accounts and known attacks surface fast. Behaviour and intel, together. See what a rule alone would miss.

03
The response

Investigate & Respond (SOAR)

Act on incidents

Incident management plus SOAR (security orchestration, automation & response) — investigate alerts, run automated response workflows, and close the loop. Detect is not enough; you must respond — Log360 does both. From alert to action, fast.

04
The assurance

Compliance & Auditing

Prove you're compliant

Thousands of out-of-the-box compliance report templates (PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, and India's requirements), Active Directory auditing and file integrity monitoring — so audits are report-not-project. Compliance, on tap. Prove control without the scramble.

05
The edge

Predictable + On-Prem/Cloud

Value, choice, cloud AI

Log-source-based pricing with unlimited users (predictable, not volume-driven like Splunk), deployment on-premises OR in the cloud (Log360 Cloud with Vigil IQ TDIR, data-localisation ready) — real SIEM without the runaway ingest bill or cloud-only lock-in. Predictable value and choice, now cloud-AI.

One agent on every machine, one console over all of them — modules attach without a second operational world.

Part 03 · Evaluate

Twelve capabilities. Collect, detect, respond.

Log360 gives you a full, real SIEM at a predictable log-source cost — on-premises or cloud — the security flagship of portfolio, and paired with the human firewall.

Collect
Log management

Log Management & Collection

Collect, normalise, index and store logs from across the estate — servers, network, endpoints, cloud and applications — with fast search and long-term retention for forensics and audit. The heart of SIEM. Every log, in one place.

Collect
AD auditing

Active Directory Auditing

Deep Active Directory and Azure AD auditing — track logons, permission and group changes, and account activity — so identity-based threats and misconfigurations are caught. Identity is the perimeter. Watch who does what.

Collect
Cloud security (CASB)

Cloud Security (CASB)

Monitor and secure cloud infrastructure and SaaS — AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud apps — with built-in cloud access security broker (CASB) capabilities, so cloud activity is in the SIEM too. The cloud is in scope. See the whole estate.

Collect
File integrity

File Integrity Monitoring (FIM)

File integrity monitoring watches critical files, folders and configurations for unauthorised change — tampering, ransomware activity and insider misuse surface fast. Know when something changes that shouldn't. Integrity, watched.

Detect
Correlation

Real-Time Event Correlation

A real-time correlation engine links events across sources into attack patterns — with a large library of built-in rules and a custom rule builder — so multi-step attacks are detected, not lost in noise. Join the dots. Turn events into alerts.

Detect
UEBA

UEBA — Behaviour Analytics

Built-in UEBA (user & entity behaviour analytics) baselines normal behaviour for users and entities and flags anomalies — catching insider threats, compromised accounts and lateral movement a static rule would miss. Behaviour tells the truth. Spot the abnormal.

Detect
Threat intelligence

Threat Intelligence

Built-in threat intelligence feeds enrich detection with known-bad IPs, URLs and domains — so traffic to and from malicious infrastructure is caught and blocked. Know the known bad. Intelligence-led detection.

Detect
Vigil IQ TDIR

Vigil IQ — ML Threat Detection

Vigil IQ (in Log360 Cloud) brings ML-driven threat detection, investigation & response (TDIR) — smarter, lower-noise detection and guided investigation, so analysts focus on real threats. AI-assisted detection. Fewer false alarms, faster answers.

Respond
Incident management

Incident Management

A built-in incident console — assign, track, prioritise and work alerts to closure, with an audit trail — so nothing falls through the cracks and analysts work as a team. Detection needs a workflow. Every alert, owned to closure.

Respond
SOAR

SOAR — Automated Response

Security orchestration, automation & response — automated response workflows (disable an account, block an IP, isolate a device, run a playbook) trigger on detection, so you respond in seconds, not hours. Automate the response. Contain fast, at machine speed.

Respond
Compliance

Compliance Reporting

Thousands of out-of-the-box report templates for PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, ISO 27001 and India's requirements — plus custom reports — so audits become a report, not a project. Compliance, on tap. Prove control without the scramble.

Respond
On-prem OR cloud

On-Premises OR Cloud

Deploy Log360 on-premises (in your own environment) OR in the cloud (Log360 Cloud with Vigil IQ TDIR) — a genuine choice that data-localisation-sensitive Indian govt, BFSI and regulated organisations value for security data. Your data, your way. Choice, not lock-in.

Why Log360

The endpoint catches what arrives. Email stops it arriving.

Here’s what genuinely sets Log360 apart (and when Splunk/Sentinel fit).

01

Predictable log-source pricing — not Splunk's runaway ingest bill

The single biggest reason organisations choose Log360 is PREDICTABLE COST — it's priced by the number of LOG SOURCES (devices) you monitor, with UNLIMITED users, rather than by DATA VOLUME the way Splunk is, which makes the bill predictable and dramatically lower in TCO. The problem it solves: SIEM has a reputation for a runaway bill — Splunk, the category's best-known name, prices largely on how much data you INGEST (volume), so as your logs grow (and they always grow), your cost grows, unpredictably and often steeply. Teams end up dropping or sampling logs to control spend — which defeats the point of a SIEM — or facing budget shocks at renewal. Volume-based pricing punishes exactly what security wants: more visibility. What Log360 provides: a fundamentally different, predictable model. Priced by log source / device — you pay for the number of devices/log sources you monitor, NOT the volume of data they generate; ingest more logs from a monitored source and your price doesn't spike. Unlimited users — add as many analysts and viewers as you like at no per-seat cost, so the whole team can use the SIEM. Predictable and plannable — you know your cost from your device count, so budgeting is straightforward and renewals hold no nasty surprises. Editions — clear editions add capability, so you buy the depth you need. So you get full SIEM — collection, correlation, UEBA, SOAR, compliance — without the ingest-driven cost anxiety that makes Splunk famously expensive; the TCO difference over time is often dramatic. Why it matters: predictable, log-source-based pricing means security teams can turn on full logging (better detection) without fearing the bill, budget with confidence, and give the whole team access — the exact opposite of the volume-pricing trap. For cost-conscious mid-market and enterprise buyers — and especially Indian organisations — this predictable value is the headline reason to choose Log360. The value: Log360 is priced by log source with unlimited users — predictable, plannable and far lower TCO than Splunk's data-volume (ingest) pricing. For real SIEM without the runaway bill, this matters. TechBag scopes your log sources and quotes predictable pricing. TechBag helps you run full SIEM without the ingest-cost shock.

02

On-premises OR cloud — the data-localisation choice for security data (a real India edge)

A defining strength of Log360 — especially for India — is that it runs BOTH on-premises AND in the cloud, so you choose where your SECURITY data (logs, alerts, forensic evidence) lives, which is a genuine advantage over cloud-only SIEMs for regulated, government and data-localisation-sensitive organisations. The problem it solves: security logs are among the most sensitive data an organisation holds — they reveal the whole estate, its users and its weaknesses. Cloud-only SIEMs (like Microsoft Sentinel) require that data to leave your environment, which is a real problem for organisations with data-sovereignty, security or localisation mandates: government bodies, BFSI (with RBI and regulatory data requirements), defence, and any organisation that must keep security data in-country or on-prem. What Log360 provides: a genuine deployment CHOICE. On-premises — deploy and run Log360 entirely in your own environment (your data centre or private cloud), so all logs and security data stay under your control, meeting on-prem/sovereignty mandates. Cloud — or choose Log360 Cloud (with Vigil IQ ML-driven TDIR) if you prefer no infrastructure to run. India data centres — for the cloud option, ManageEngine operates data centres in Chennai and Mumbai, keeping data in-region. Your choice — you decide based on your compliance, security and operational needs, not the vendor's. So organisations that CAN'T or WON'T send security data to a foreign cloud — a significant share of Indian govt, BFSI, defence and regulated buyers — can run a full SIEM on-premises, which cloud-only rivals simply can't offer. Why it matters: the on-prem (and in-country cloud) option directly answers data-localisation, sovereignty and regulatory requirements that are increasingly important in India — it's a real, defensible differentiator versus cloud-only Sentinel, and a big reason ManageEngine wins in Indian government, BFSI and regulated sectors for SIEM. For organisations where security-data location matters, this choice is often decisive. The value: Log360 runs on-premises OR in the cloud (with India data centres) — a genuine choice that answers data-localisation and sovereignty needs cloud-only SIEMs can't. For regulated and Indian organisations, this matters. TechBag helps organisations deploy Log360 their way. TechBag helps you keep your security data where it must be.

03

Full SIEM — UEBA, SOAR and compliance built in, not bolted on

A core strength of Log360 is that it's a COMPLETE SIEM — log management, correlation, UEBA, threat intelligence, incident management, SOAR AND thousands of compliance reports — all in one platform, so you detect, investigate, respond and comply without stitching together add-ons. The problem it solves: many affordable log tools handle collection and search but stop there — no real behaviour analytics, no automated response, no compliance packs — so as you mature you bolt on separate UEBA, SOAR and reporting products (more cost, more integration, more gaps). Real security operations need detection, investigation, response and compliance working together. What Log360 provides: the full SIEM lifecycle, integrated: Collect — log management across servers, network, endpoints, cloud, AD; plus file integrity monitoring and CASB. Detect — real-time correlation, built-in UEBA (behaviour analytics), threat intelligence, and Vigil IQ ML detection in the cloud. Respond — incident management to work alerts to closure, and SOAR to automate response (disable accounts, block IPs, isolate devices, run playbooks). Comply — thousands of out-of-the-box templates for PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, ISO 27001 and India's requirements. So you get a genuinely complete SIEM — the whole detect-investigate-respond-comply loop — on one platform, rather than a basic log tool you'll outgrow or a costly patchwork. The UEBA and SOAR being BUILT IN (not paid add-ons) is a notable value point. Why it matters: a complete, integrated SIEM means you can actually run security operations (not just store logs), catch behaviour-based threats a rule would miss (UEBA), respond automatically at machine speed (SOAR), and pass audits with report-not-project compliance — all without buying and integrating multiple tools. For organisations serious about security operations at Log360's price, this completeness is compelling. The value: Log360 is a complete SIEM — collection, correlation, UEBA, threat intelligence, SOAR and compliance — built in, on one platform. For real security operations affordably, this matters. TechBag helps organisations run full SIEM with Log360. TechBag helps you detect, respond and comply from one platform.

04

Part of one IT-management estate — and now AI (Zia + Vigil IQ)

A strength of Log360 is that it's part of ManageEngine's broad IT-management estate — so security integrates with identity, endpoints, service and monitoring — and it's gaining AI (Zia across the suite, Vigil IQ TDIR in the cloud), keeping it modern. One estate, integrated: Log360 isn't a standalone silo — it's part of ManageEngine's 60+ product portfolio and shares DNA with the security/identity flagships: AD360 and ADAudit Plus (identity) — deep Active Directory auditing feeds the SIEM, so identity threats are first-class. Endpoint Central (UEM) — so endpoint context and remediation connect to security. ServiceDesk Plus (ITSM) — so a security incident can raise and track a ticket, connecting SecOps to IT service. OpManager (ITOM) — so infrastructure health ties in. So security, identity, endpoints, service and monitoring connect in one IT-management estate — rather than disconnected point tools — which is powerful for teams standardising on ManageEngine. Now AI-powered: ManageEngine is rolling Zia (its AI) across the suite, and Log360 Cloud brings Vigil IQ — ML-driven threat detection, investigation & response (TDIR) — for smarter, lower-noise detection and guided investigation, so analysts focus on real threats. AI-assisted SecOps, keeping the SIEM current. Why it matters: being part of one integrated IT-management estate means security connects to the rest of IT (identity, endpoints, service) — more value than a standalone SIEM — and Zia/Vigil IQ AI keeps it current. For organisations wanting an integrated, affordable, AI-modern security-and-IT stack (not a patchwork), ManageEngine's estate is a real draw. The value: Log360 is part of ManageEngine's integrated IT-management estate (identity, endpoints, service, monitoring) and gaining Zia and Vigil IQ AI — an integrated, modern, affordable stack. For connected, AI-modern SecOps, this matters. TechBag helps organisations build an integrated ManageEngine stack. TechBag helps you connect security to the rest of IT.

05

From ManageEngine — an India-champion (Zoho), bootstrapped and trusted

Log360 comes from ManageEngine, the enterprise IT-management division of Zoho Corp — a bootstrapped, India-headquartered champion — which matters for trust, value, India relevance and data localisation, all of which are especially significant for a SIEM (where you're trusting a vendor with your most sensitive security data). The India champion: Zoho Corp (ManageEngine's parent) is bootstrapped — no VC funding, no IPO — headquartered in Chennai under founder Sridhar Vembu, a genuine 'made in India, made for the world' story. ManageEngine has been in IT management since 2002, and says its software powers 280,000+ organisations worldwide, including 9 of every 10 Fortune 100 companies. For an Indian buyer trusting a vendor with security logs, choosing an India-HQ'd, financially independent (bootstrapped) vendor is a real, values-aligned plus. India relevance and data localisation: India is a fast-growing market for ManageEngine (10,000+ Indian customers), with data centres in Chennai and Mumbai and full on-premises options — directly answering India's data-localisation, sovereignty and regulatory (RBI/BFSI, government, CERT-In) needs for security data. This is a defensible India edge for SIEM specifically. Affordable, predictable, on-prem-or-cloud: ManageEngine's whole philosophy — affordable, predictably-priced (log-source, not volume), on-prem-capable security — fits price-sensitive, regulated and sovereignty-minded Indian organisations especially well. Via TechBag (Bengaluru-based), Indian organisations get Log360 with local scoping, licensing and GST invoicing — an India-HQ'd security product, locally supported. The value: Log360 — from ManageEngine, a bootstrapped India-champion (Zoho, Chennai), with India data centres, on-prem options and predictable log-source pricing — is a trusted, India-relevant, data-localisation-ready SIEM. TechBag supplies it with local scoping and support. TechBag provides India's own SIEM champion, locally supported.

06

The honest scope

ManageEngine Log360 is the unified SIEM flagship of ManageEngine (Zoho's IT-management division) — log management, correlation, UEBA, threat intelligence, incident management, SOAR and compliance, available on-premises OR in the cloud (Log360 Cloud with Vigil IQ TDIR), with Zia AI. From an India-champion (bootstrapped, Chennai). The honest framing — strengths, fit, and competition: Log360's strengths are PREDICTABLE VALUE (log-source pricing with unlimited users, vs Splunk's expensive data-volume ingest cost), the on-prem-OR-cloud choice (a real India/regulated edge for security data), completeness (UEBA and SOAR built in, thousands of compliance reports), the ManageEngine estate, and Zia/Vigil IQ AI. The competitive landscape: Splunk (Enterprise Security) is the hyperscale-data leader — the deepest data platform and analytics maturity, the biggest ecosystem — but it's famously EXPENSIVE and unpredictable because it prices on data volume (ingest); for the very largest, data-heavy security-analytics programmes with the budget, Splunk leads, and Log360 is the predictable-cost VALUE counter for the large-and-below majority. Microsoft Sentinel is the cloud-native SIEM for Azure/M365-heavy shops (deeply integrated, but cloud-only and consumption-priced); for Azure-native organisations, Sentinel competes — but it can't run on-prem. IBM QRadar is the enterprise legacy incumbent (now sold to Palo Alto Networks, with roadmap uncertainty). Wazuh is the open-source, DIY option (cheap in licence, but you run and maintain it). Securonix is UEBA/analytics-led. So the honest positioning: for real, complete SIEM at a PREDICTABLE, affordable cost — with a genuine on-prem-or-cloud choice, especially for cost-conscious, regulated or Indian organisations — Log360 leads on value; for hyperscale data and analytics maturity, Splunk; for Azure-native cloud SIEM, Sentinel; for open-source DIY, Wazuh. Log360 is a credible VALUE challenger, NOT the hyperscale-data leader — most organisations don't need Splunk's scale and shouldn't pay volume pricing for it. TechBag scopes Log360 honestly — log sources and edition, on-prem vs cloud, comparing vs Splunk/Sentinel/QRadar — and licensing and supporting it with GST invoicing.

We evaluated Splunk and the ingest-based pricing was terrifying — our bill would balloon as logs grew. Log360 is priced by log source with unlimited users, so our cost is predictable and a fraction of Splunk. We finally turned on full logging without fearing the bill.

  • You value an India-HQ'd, bootstrapped vendor (Zoho) with India data centres and Zia/Vigil IQ AI

Splunk (Enterprise Security) if…

  • You're a very large, data-heavy security-analytics programme needing the deepest data platform and ecosystem (and can budget for volume-based pricing)

Microsoft Sentinel if…

  • You're Azure/M365-native and want a cloud-native SIEM deeply integrated with Microsoft (and don't need on-prem)

Wazuh if…

  • You want an open-source, DIY SIEM and have the team to run and maintain it yourself

What do email threats cost you?

Drag the sliders (count log sources / devices; hour cost as loaded rate). Estimates contrast an expensive/volume-priced or basic SIEM (high, unpredictable ingest cost, or missing UEBA/SOAR/compliance) vs Log360 (full SIEM, predictable log-source pricing, unlimited users, on-prem/cloud choice, Vigil IQ) \u2014 the wins are predictable cost vs Splunk, built-in UEBA/SOAR/compliance, and deployment choice.

Pricing & plans

Three ways to consume it

Log360 is priced by the number of LOG SOURCES (devices) you monitor, with UNLIMITED users \u2014 a predictable model and a major TCO advantage over Splunk’s data-VOLUME (ingest) pricing (famously expensive and unpredictable). Editions add capability, and you can deploy on-premises OR in the cloud (Log360 Cloud, Vigil IQ). Exact figures vary by edition/log sources/deployment/region and move over time \u2014 TechBag scopes your log sources and edition and quotes current figures (ManageEngine publishes live pricing). India-HQ’d vendor; TechBag handles GST.

Log360 (per log source)

Best for predictable-cost SIEM

  • Priced by log source / device — NOT data volume; UNLIMITED users
  • Predictable TCO vs Splunk’s ingest pricing; editions add depth
  • On-premises OR cloud (Vigil IQ) — data-localisation ready

+ Platform add-ons

Best for a broader rollout

  • Scoped to your estate
  • Add-on modules as needed
  • Phased, right-sized deployment

+ On-prem / the ManageEngine estate

Best value with TechBag

  • On-premises option for security-data localisation/sovereignty (vs cloud-only Sentinel)
  • Integrate AD360, Endpoint Central, ServiceDesk Plus — one stack
  • India-HQ’d vendor (Zoho); TechBag scopes log sources + handles GST

The 8 questions to ask every vendor

Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.

1
vs Splunk

Worried about Splunk's data-volume (ingest) bill? Log360 is priced by log source with UNLIMITED users — predictable cost, far lower TCO.

2
Deployment

Need on-premises for security data (localisation, sovereignty, regulatory)? Log360 runs on-prem OR cloud — unlike cloud-only Sentinel.

3
Completeness

Need real SIEM — UEBA, SOAR and compliance, not just log storage? Log360 has them built in (not paid add-ons).

4
Detection

Want behaviour-based detection? Built-in UEBA, threat intelligence and (cloud) Vigil IQ ML catch what static rules miss.

5
Compliance

Facing PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX or India's requirements? Thousands of out-of-the-box report templates make audits a report, not a project.

6
Response

Want to respond automatically? SOAR playbooks disable accounts, block IPs and isolate devices at machine speed.

7
Ecosystem

Standardising on ManageEngine? Log360 integrates with AD360, Endpoint Central and ServiceDesk Plus — one IT-security stack.

8
India / vendor

Value an India-HQ'd, bootstrapped vendor with India data centres for your security logs? ManageEngine (Zoho) fits. TechBag scopes and handles GST.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

ManageEngine Log360 is the unified SIEM (Security Information & Event Management) flagship of ManageEngine (the enterprise IT-management division of Zoho Corp) — the affordable, predictable-cost, on-prem-capable alternative to Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel and IBM QRadar. It unifies log management and security analytics into one SIEM: it collects and correlates logs across the whole estate (servers, network, endpoints, cloud, Active Directory), detects threats with built-in UEBA (user & entity behaviour analytics) and threat intelligence, and lets you investigate and respond with incident management and SOAR (security orchestration, automation & response) — plus file integrity monitoring, cloud security (CASB), Active Directory auditing, and thousands of out-of-the-box compliance report templates (PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX and India's requirements). So you detect threats, investigate, respond and prove compliance from one platform. Its defining edge is PREDICTABLE VALUE: Log360 is priced by the number of LOG SOURCES (devices) monitored, with UNLIMITED users — a major TCO advantage over Splunk's data-VOLUME (ingest) pricing, which is famously expensive and unpredictable. It deploys fast, and — crucially for India — it runs BOTH on-premises AND in the cloud (Log360 Cloud with Vigil IQ ML-driven TDIR), so regulated, government and data-localisation-sensitive organisations can keep security data in their own environment. It's from ManageEngine, an India-champion: Zoho Corp is bootstrapped (no VC/IPO), headquartered in Chennai under founder Sridhar Vembu, with data centres in Chennai and Mumbai. ManageEngine says its software powers 280,000+ organisations worldwide, including 9 of every 10 Fortune 100 companies. Its AI, Zia, is woven in. TechBag scopes, licenses and supports it in INR/GST for Indian organisations.

Ready for real SIEM \u2014 predictable cost, on-prem or cloud?

Scope Log360 (full SIEM \u2014 UEBA, SOAR, compliance \u2014 priced by log source with unlimited users, on-prem OR cloud, Vigil IQ AI) \u2014 and let a TechBag advisor size the log sources, choose the edition and deployment (on-prem for data-localisation), and license it. Or compare vs Splunk/Sentinel for hyperscale data or Azure-native needs.
