Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Long term metrics monitoring has improved AI workflows and now powers faster incident analysis
The best features VictoriaMetrics offers in my experience include fast query performance and efficient resource usage, seamless compatibility with the Prometheus ecosystem, a simple cluster architecture with minimal components, MetricsQL with useful functions beyond PromQL, and comprehensive tooling like VMAgent and VMAlert. VictoriaMetrics stands out to me because it is highly efficient, stable, and easy to run in air-gapped environments. It integrates well with Prometheus ecosystem tools like Kube-Prometheus-Stack and Grafana. Its compact storage and fast query performance make it ideal for long-term metric storage. The cluster setup is simple and scalable, which is a big advantage for production use.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool's reports show activities."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"Our primary use case for this solution is detecting issues to provide customers with information."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is useful for log and alert correlation and is a full-function SIEM solution."
"We use the solution because it is granular."
"The initial setup was very simple and straightforward, according to our security team."
"The light-speed query feature has made a significant difference for me because when we query, it is much faster in VictoriaMetrics compared to the other tools we had used previously."
"Prometheus compatibility is the biggest plus for me, and it allows me to use familiar PromQL queries across Grafana dashboards, alert rules, and the anomaly detection workflow, which saves integration effort and makes it easier to investigate an incident using the same metrics across those tools."
"The best features offered by VictoriaMetrics are that it is a very fast database and a time series database that is very capable of handling an enormous amount of data."
"The resource efficiency of VictoriaMetrics allows you to reduce infrastructure costs."
"VictoriaMetrics has positively impacted my organization because we were able to save on metric storage by not using expensive solutions from other vendors."
"VictoriaMetrics customer support is exceptional, responses are very quick, and the solutions are usually worked through."
"VictoriaMetrics has positively impacted our organization because we chose it for efficiency, simplicity, one binary and cost, and it's straightforward embedded in our Helm chart, so it works out of the box."
"VictoriaMetrics has positively impacted my organization as it is a stable, performant, safe, and well-engineered piece of software which works exactly as expected and delivers stable results."
 

Cons

"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities, the authentication, when a person logs onto a network device."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great, and additional upgrades could be included."
"The scalability is limited."
"The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"However, for people who want to go into the enterprise version, I think VictoriaMetrics needs to work on the pricing because it is quite high even if someone uses a single cluster."
"Regarding performance gains or cost savings, I can add that native multitenancy is only in the cluster version, and on single-node, we had to build tenant isolation ourselves with labels and query filters, so this could be improved."
"From my project experience, I would appreciate more practical guidance on tuning queries and diagnosing missing or delayed metrics across the ingestion pipeline."
"The main areas of improvement for VictoriaMetrics include automatic rebalancing, a large ecosystem, and Enterprise features."
"The reason I rate it eight is that the solution lacks aggregation and I have to either use a custom solution or solutions from other vendors."
"I chose exactly 8 out of 10 because I do not have full knowledge of the product in production, and my experience stopped at the testing phase pending the company's evaluation."
"I am sad that VictoriaMetrics moves towards enterprise only for features that it is really good at, such as downsampling."
"The main area that needs improvement in VictoriaMetrics is the documentation itself, as the support is adequate and the open-source project does provide replies within one to two days."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
"There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."
"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
"We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
