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."It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system."
"We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable."
"The ability to customize the solution in great detail is its most valuable features. We can customize the use cases and also have the ability to do scripting. We can personalize our dashboard as well. The scalability the solution offers is quite impressive."
"The technical support team is good...It is a scalable solution."
"The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."
"It's a robust, mature product and you can do some really complex operations and analytics."
"The ESM use cases are the most valuable. It enables us to use the big data collection inside our company. We are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM solution."
"In our country we are a little bit private in terms of solutions, so we are just starting to use the basic data capture. Now some users can start to use additional features that come with Micro Focus ArcSight like user behavior analytics for investigating."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"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."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved."
"In the next release, I want to see more intelligence."
"I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."
"The next release should have AI capabilities."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex."
"The integration with other systems could be improved."
"The solution is a very good tool, but it has a lot of limitations. One of the main issues is around how you define your retention policy, for instance, in Log Insight. It doesn't have it. You can't define a log retention policy. You also can't define the destination or location for your logs. All of the logs are in one index or one bucket."
"What I'd like to improve in vRealize Log Insight is the licensing model. VMware provides vRealize Log Insight along with the VMware Cloud Foundation, but customers who would like to go for the native VMware would have to procure vRealize Log Insight separately. Today, vRealize Log Insight is offered on two different licenses, one is based on the number of VMs, and the other is based on the number of physical codes on the machine. If VMware can provide a bundle offer for customers who procure more than ten licenses, where you can have an option to run, for example, three hundred machines on vRealize Log Insight with no extra cost, this would encourage more people to adopt the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of vRealize Log Insight is for a cloud option to be available, which would be a pay-as-you-go licensing model that would allow me to pick and choose what I'll monitor. For example, I have one thousand and three hundred critical servers, and the seven hundred servers for basic development, I don't want to monitor on vRealize Log Insight today, so I should be able to pick what I need to monitor on the solution and only pay for that specific instance. If VMware can apply these changes, it would help VMware customers to procure more or adopt more of vRealize Log Insight even in smaller projects."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."
"Technical support should be improved."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
