We performed a comparison between NetWitness Platform and VMware Aria Operations for Logs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."
"The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"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."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"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 system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"Its technical support could be better."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"Technical support should be improved."
