"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.""It is very scalable and can handle a large workload.""It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment.""Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure.""The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution.""It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure.""The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature.

Cons
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time.""Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users.""Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything.""The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time.""There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."

More Rapid7 InsightOps Cons →

"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team.""In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions.""From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly.""It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools.""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.""The solution isn't user-friendly for admins.""The tool is expensive.""The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
