Pros
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."

More NetCrunch Pros →

"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good.""Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure.""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.""The events are notably more descriptive, aiding in security and event analysis. We've also integrated Sky Collector, providing valuable insights and solutions for troubleshooting.""The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize.""The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution.""It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly.""What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."

Cons
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."

More NetCrunch Cons →

"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure.""The solution isn't user-friendly for admins.""It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins.""Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that.""The tool is expensive.""From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly.""Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight.""They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "Pricing could always be lower. If it were free, I would be more satisfied."
  • "The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."
  • "Pricing is good because it is part of the suite package. It comes in a bundle for us."
  • "The licensing cost for vRealize Log Insight is a little higher, so in terms of cost, it all depends upon what kind of environment you have. If you have a complete virtualized environment, or at least you're using a ninety-five percent virtualized environment, then vRealize Log Insight will play a very good role because it is a VMware component, so it has very tight integration with other VMware components and systems. This means you don't have to procure any other monitoring and management tool, and you don't need a separate automation tool. vRealize Log Insight will have an upper hand if your environment is purely virtualized on VMware. If you're using a mix of physical and virtual components, for example, a 50:50 ratio, then you need to have a third-party component to manage overall monitoring."
  • "I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."
  • "I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "I think it is a reasonably priced product."
  • "The pricing has been updated recently."

    Top Answer:The product's price is reasonable, but when it comes to SQL licensing, it's a bit expensive. So, it's expensive, not extremely expensive. I would rate the pricing a two out of ten, with ten being very… more »
