The challenge: Four tenants and no single view
The IT team at Precision Marshall Steel uses four Microsoft 365 tenants and four Active Directory environments. The team had to move between multiple consoles to understand what was happening across these tenants and environments, meaning log reviews, user activity checks, and basic troubleshooting all took more time.
Phil Herrle from Precision Marshall Steel summarized the organization's requirement as needing a single tool for logging.
"To be able to log everything in one product really was the main reason [for choosing Log360 Cloud]."
—Phil Herrle, Precision Marshall Steel
The team needed a single platform that could bring together cloud and on-premises data for all four companies.
Why Log360 Cloud was the right choice
The team looked at Log360 Cloud to achieve full coverage for all its environments. It required a tool could that could collect data from all tenants and from an on-premises Active Directory.
To Herrle, Log360 Cloud's expansive capabilities stood out.
"Everything we wanted to log was supported… in one product."
—Phil Herrle, Precision Marshall Steel
Implementation: Smooth setup across all four domains
The implementation of Log360 Cloud was guided by ManageEngine’s expert onboarding team, led by Prasanna Kumar. His role was to connect all four tenants, bring in the on-premises components, and walk the team through how to use the platform.
Herrle described the experience as clear and helpful:
"We were able to get everything set up that we needed to, and he [Prasanna Kumar] showed us everything we needed to navigate [Log360 Cloud]."
—Phil Herrle, Precision Marshall Steel
How the team uses Log360 Cloud today
Once Log360 Cloud went live, it became the single place where the logs from all four companies come together. This allowed the IT team to stop working in isolated environments and rely on one platform instead.
It now uses Log360 Cloud to:
- Review Microsoft 365 activity across all tenants.
- Track on-premises Active Directory events.
- Investigate user actions.
- Monitor suspicious events.
- Manage a hybrid setup in one console.
Herrle rated the overall product experience highly.
Benefits after adopting Log360 Cloud
The move to Log360 Cloud brought a noticeable improvement in how the team manages logs, which are now centralized and easier to work with.
1. Unified visibility
All logs from four companies now appear in one console.
2. Better hybrid monitoring
Cloud and on-premises logs are reviewed together rather than in isolation.
3. Faster investigations and checks
The team no longer wastes time switching between different consoles.
“Not having to use more than one product… that’s definitely the best benefit,” said Herrle.
Would Precision Marshall Steel recommend Log360 Cloud?
Herrle confirmed that he would recommend both the product and ManageEngine's onboarding services to others with similar hybrid or multi-tenant setups.
