| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Advisory Solution Consultant at ServiceNow | 4.0 | We primarily use VMware Aria Operations for Logs for troubleshooting, as its time-specific filtering for heavy hitters and anomalies is highly effective. It integrates well with VMware infrastructures, surpassing other tools like Splunk in precision and cost-efficiency. |
| Cloud Solution Engineer at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I use VMware Aria Operations for Logs mainly for log collection and troubleshooting. Its dashboard personalization is valuable, but I'm exploring alternatives like Grafana due to dissatisfaction with Broadcom and a focus on other hypervisor solutions. |
| Server, Virtualization and Data Storage Solutions Specialist at DE Bilişim Tek. A.Ş. | 2.0 | As a specialist, I found VMware Aria Operations for Logs stable with valuable real-time analytics, but it was costly and needed frequent template changes. We switched to Proxmox and Zabbix due to these economic concerns. |
| Deputy manager at a pharma/biotech company with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.0 | VMware Aria Operations for Logs is user-friendly but lacks a centralized monitoring pane, unlike Nutanix Prism, which offers comprehensive visibility and lifecycle management in one console without extra licenses. I prefer Prism for its ease of use and central dashboard features. |
| Systems Engineer at First Rand Bank Ltd. | 5.0 | VMware Aria Operations for Logs is essential for diagnosing infrastructure performance issues and recommending changes. Its descriptive events and integration with SkyCollector enhance security analysis. Improvements are needed in VM failover handling to prevent application timeouts and business disruptions. |
| Infrastructure architect at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees | 5.0 | I use VMware Aria Operations for Logs mainly for troubleshooting and monitoring. Its log centralization, retention, and dashboards are valuable, though the tool is expensive. While I also use Splunk, VMware's solution suits VMware-specific environments better. |
| Sr. Technical Architect at StarOne IT Solutions | 4.5 | In my experience, VMware Aria Operations for Logs effectively aids in capacity planning and resource management by offering valuable recommendations. However, it lacks comprehensive integration and dashboard capabilities and is priced high, though it boosts efficiency and ROI. |
| Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I use VMware Aria Operations for Logs for log analysis and troubleshooting, appreciating its assistance with security and log analysis, which are critical for my company. However, the tool could be more user-friendly. I have not compared it to other solutions. |
