If we have to search for an intrusion or if an auditor asks us for a log of an administrator that logged into a machine, we can provide all the information they need.

I use syslog-ng for log processing.
We use it for compliance issues, like law enforcement for the Brazilian government.
I use syslog-ng to perform enterprise security audits for compliance with data regulations like GDPR in Brazil.
We use syslog-ng to aggregate all our logs. We were looking for a SIEM solution, so syslog-ng is serving as a temporary replacement.
