Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The build is stable and requires little maintenance, even compared to some extremely expensive products."
"The product is scalable. The solution is stable."
"I am very proud of how very stable the solution is."
"What I like about Graylog is that it's real-time and you have access to the raw data. So, you ingest it, and you have access to every message and every data item you ingest. You can then build analytics on top of that. You can look at the raw data, and you can do some volumetric estimations, such as how big traffic you have, how many messages of data of a type you have, etc."
"This had increased productivity for the dev and support teams, because we are directly notifying them."
"We run a containerized microservices environment. Being able to set up streams and search for errors and anomalies across hundreds of containers is why a log aggregation platform like Graylog is valuable to us."
"Allowing us to set up alerts and integrate with platforms we already use, such as Slack and OpsGenie to alert users of these errors proactively, is also a very useful feature."
"Storing logs in Elasticsearch means log retrieval is extremely fast, and full text search is available by default."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"The user interface is very good."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"It is stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"The biggest problem is the collector application, as we wanted to avoid using Graylog Collector Sidecar due to its architecture."
"I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"Over six months, I had two similar issues where searches were performed on field "messages". It exhausted all the memory of the ES node causing an ES crash and a Graylog halt."
"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."
"Graylog can improve the index rotation as it's quite a complex solution."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"The scalability is limited."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
