Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Datadog, Wazuh and others in Log Management."There's a whole spectrum of features on the solution that users can take advantage of. It's a very robust product."
"The security aspects in general have been very useful to use."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly. The solution, in general, isn't great from a user's perspective."
"At some level, the documentation, the information as far as the components, it's sometimes a little difficult to find the information necessary to implement aspects."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"The solution is a very good tool, but it has a lot of limitations. One of the main issues is around how you define your retention policy, for instance, in Log Insight. It doesn't have it. You can't define a log retention policy. You also can't define the destination or location for your logs. All of the logs are in one index or one bucket."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"Technical support should be improved."
