"It's easy to use."
"Google's technical support is very good."

"Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."
"What I like about Graylog is that it's real-time and you have access to the raw data. So, you ingest it, and you have access to every message and every data item you ingest. You can then build analytics on top of that. You can look at the raw data, and you can do some volumetric estimations, such as how big traffic you have, how many messages of data of a type you have, etc."
"I like the correlation and the alerting."
"The ability to write custom alerts is key to information security and compliance."
"Open source and user friendly."
"Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."
"We have scaled from a single machine installation (a VM with a Graylog + ES + MongoDB) to (2 Graylog + 2 ES + 3 MongoDB). This was done smoothly with a minimal impact on logging."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"It could be even more automated."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"The process of logging analytics can be improved"
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"It could be more stable."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Cons →
"More customization is always useful."
"It would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community."
"Graylog could improve the process of creating rules. We have to create them manually by doing parses and applying them. Other SIEM solutions have basic rules and you can create and get more events of interest."
"Elasticsearch recommendations for tuning could be better. Graylog doesn't have direct support for running the system inside of Kubernetes, so it can be challenging to fill in the gaps and set up containers in a way that is both performant and stable."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license."
"Dashboards, stream alerts and parsing could be improved."
"Lacks sufficient documentation."
