Pros
"The initial setup of Nagios Log Server was easy and straightforward.""One of the most valuable features is the dashboard because the UI was effective and easy to use. The alert systems are good as well. We had no failovers and had high availability. We can search the queries fast as well in Nagios Log Server.""It provides an easy way to identify errors and spot issues, making troubleshooting more efficient.""A great feature of the solution involves its internal portal.""The product is scalable."

"On any given day I could give you a different answer regarding the most valuable features of the product. The feature that is most important is the fact that it has a lot of features, that it's not just a log collection and correlation system, that it has a lot of other components built in. The bundle of features is really the killer feature.""The most valuable feature of this solution is security management for PCI DSS.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment that it provides to users. The integrations that the product has with third-party applications are useful.""SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance.""Allowed us to help our customers satisfy compliance needs around logging and monitoring.""Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about.""The IDS and the threat intelligence are very useful. They are very intuitive and data-rich.""It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."

Cons
"It would be beneficial for Nagios to incorporate a tool that goes beyond log management and includes features to monitor overall system health and assess the effectiveness of antivirus solutions.""The customization and dashboards have shortcomings and need to be improved to make the tool look more presentable.""The configurations during initial setup could be improved. If they could be agentless, as in the case of the Ansible product, it would be better. I would like to be able to analyze the network bandwidth.""As we are talking about a product which is open to the public, the pricing makes it challenging for us to profit off of its marketing.""The support could be better."

More Nagios Log Server Cons →

"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it.""The other thing is the agent is OSSEC. They needed to create its own agent to help to find threats on the devices that it happens to be installed.""Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations.""they seem to have bugs from time to time that go unfixed for a while and that is frustrating. I'm not saying the product needs to be bug-free, but they need to be responsive to bugs.""Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing.""The vulnerability scanning feature is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. The tool has vulnerability scanning, but it is not that efficient.""In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly.""There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
