What is ManageEngine Log360?

ManageEngine Log360 is the SIEM from ManageEngine, the IT management division of Zoho Corp. It bundles log collection from 750+ pre-built parsers, Active Directory auditing, threat detection, UEBA, SOAR playbooks, DLP and CASB into one console. It comes in two forms: a self-hosted install for Windows or Linux servers, and Log360 Cloud, a hosted version you sign up for online. For an Indian bank, NBFC, hospital or IT services firm that already runs Windows servers and Active Directory, it is one of the few SIEMs built in India that competes on features with Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel and IBM QRadar.

Detection is the strongest part. ManageEngine ships more than 2,000 detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, 50+ default SOAR playbooks, an Incident Workbench that shows process lineage, and Zia AI features such as log summaries and natural-language search. Threat feeds include STIX/TAXII, AlienVault OTX and ThreatFox, and there are dark web checks for leaked credentials. Compliance reporting has 30+ templates, including PCI DSS and HIPAA. ManageEngine also has a CERT-In page explaining how Log360 archives logs for at least 180 days.

The weak spots are cost visibility and hardware. On-premise prices are quote-only. The quote is built from how many log sources, domain controllers, file servers, endpoints and cloud accounts you license. Builds 13000 and later need at least 12 cores, 32 GB RAM and a 1.2 TB SSD on a dedicated server, so a small company without an IT team will find it heavy. The free edition has hard limits: AD auditing covers only 25 workstations, there is no correlation or file integrity monitoring, and the free comparison page puts log sources at a small cap.

Buying works two ways. Log360 Cloud has public USD prices billed yearly: Professional starts at $1,095 a year for 10 log sources and Enterprise at $1,395. Endpoints are extra, at $995 a year for 100. Search storage costs $10 per GB per year on Professional, and every GB of search storage comes with three times that much archive storage. For on-premise, download the 30-day trial, which falls back to the free edition when it ends, then ask sales or a ManageEngine partner for an INR quote.

What works well

  • +More than 2,000 MITRE ATT&CK-mapped detection rules and 50+ default SOAR playbooks are included
  • +Can be self-hosted on Windows or Linux, or bought as Log360 Cloud, for teams that cannot send logs abroad
  • +Real-time Active Directory, Microsoft 365 and Exchange auditing are built in through ADAudit Plus and related components
  • +Log360 Cloud prices are published, starting at $1,095 a year for 10 log sources
  • +The fully functional 30-day trial changes to a free edition instead of simply stopping
  • +Its CERT-In guidance maps log archival of at least 180 days to the Indian mandate
  • +Licensing by component means you pay only for the log sources, endpoints and cloud accounts you actually connect

What to watch out for

  • −On-premise Log360 prices are not published, so every deal needs a quote request
  • −Builds 13000 and later need a dedicated server with 12 cores, 32 GB RAM and a 1.2 TB SSD at minimum
  • −The free edition audits only 25 workstations and has no event correlation or file integrity monitoring
  • −SOAR, AI investigation and CASB monitoring are limited to the higher Enterprise edition of Log360 Cloud
  • −Cloud prices are only in USD and the pricing page says nothing about INR or GST

Best suited for: Indian mid-size and large companies running Active Directory and Windows servers that need a full SIEM · Regulated businesses that have to keep logs for CERT-In and produce PCI DSS or HIPAA audit reports · IT teams already using other ManageEngine tools such as ADManager Plus or Endpoint Central · Managed security providers, through the separate MSSP edition

ManageEngine Log360 — frequently asked questions

How much does ManageEngine Log360 cost in India?+

ManageEngine Log360 on-premise has no published price. You fill a quote form, and the price depends on log sources, domain controllers, file servers, endpoints and cloud accounts. Log360 Cloud is listed in USD: Professional starts at $1,095 a year and Enterprise at $1,395 a year for 10 log sources, with endpoints from $995 a year for 100. Indian buyers should ask sales or a partner for an INR quote.

Do Log360 prices include GST?+

ManageEngine Log360's public pricing page shows only USD prices and does not mention GST. Treat those figures as excluding Indian taxes. If you need a GST invoice in rupees, ask ManageEngine's India sales team or an authorised Indian partner for a formal quote. They can confirm the tax treatment before you raise a purchase order.

Is there a free version of ManageEngine Log360?+

Yes. ManageEngine Log360 has a free on-premise edition with dashboards, log search, alerts and compliance reports. It supports only a limited number of log sources, and AD auditing is capped at 25 workstations. Real-time correlation, file integrity monitoring and application log analysis need the Professional edition. The free edition works for a lab, not for a production SOC.

Does ManageEngine Log360 offer a free trial?+

ManageEngine Log360 offers a fully functional 30-day trial of the on-premise product. When the trial ends it converts to the free edition, so your setup is not lost. You can request a trial extension through a form. Log360 Cloud also has a 30-day free trial that needs no credit card.

ManageEngine Log360 vs Splunk: which suits an Indian company?+

ManageEngine Log360 licenses by log source and endpoint, and its Log360 Cloud prices are public. Many Indian mid-size firms find that easier to budget than ingest-based pricing. Log360 also has Active Directory and Microsoft 365 auditing built in. Splunk is usually picked by large SOCs that need big-data search at scale. Run the 30-day trials of both on your own log volume before deciding.

What hardware does ManageEngine Log360 need?+

For builds 13000 and later, ManageEngine Log360 needs a dedicated server with at least 12 cores, 32 GB RAM, 750 IOPS and a 1.2 TB SSD. The recommended size is 24 cores and 48 GB RAM. Archive storage is extra. Each agent machine needs 4 cores and 8 GB RAM. It runs on Windows Server 2012 to 2025 and on Ubuntu, Red Hat or CentOS.

Does ManageEngine Log360 help with CERT-In compliance?+

ManageEngine says Log360 archives collected logs for at least 180 days, which matches the CERT-In retention rule. Its threshold alerts help teams spot incidents in time for CERT-In's six-hour reporting deadline. ManageEngine does not claim Log360 files the CERT-In report for you, so your team still has to submit it.

Is ManageEngine Log360 a cloud or on-premise SIEM?+

ManageEngine Log360 is both. The standard product installs on your own Windows or Linux server and stores data in bundled PostgreSQL or an external MS SQL Server. Log360 Cloud is a hosted SIEM with no hardware to buy, and you choose its data centre region when you sign up. On-premise suits organisations that must keep logs inside their own network.

Is ManageEngine Log360 made in India?+

Yes. ManageEngine Log360 comes from ManageEngine, a division of the Indian software company Zoho Corp. ManageEngine has been in IT management since 2002 and describes itself as Made in India. Its India offices and data centres are powered by a 5 MW solar farm.
