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."One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview."
"I am very proud of how very stable the solution is."
"We run a containerized microservices environment. Being able to set up streams and search for errors and anomalies across hundreds of containers is why a log aggregation platform like Graylog is valuable to us."
"The product is scalable. The solution is stable."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."
"Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."
"This had increased productivity for the dev and support teams, because we are directly notifying them."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The user interface is very good."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"It is stable."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The biggest problem is the collector application, as we wanted to avoid using Graylog Collector Sidecar due to its architecture."
"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."
"I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
"More customization is always useful."
"We ran into problems with Elasticsearch throwing a circuit-breaking exception due to field data size being too large. It turned out that the heap size directly impacted this size in a high-throughput environment, causing unexplained instability in Graylog. We were able to troubleshoot on the Elasticsearch size, but we should have been able to reference some minimum requirements for Graylog to know that our settings weren't sufficient."
"Since container orchestration systems are popular and Graylog fits the niche well, perhaps they could officially support running in docker containers on Kubernetes as a StatefulSet as a use case. That way, the declarative nature of Kubernetes config files would document their best case deployment scenario-"
"I would like to see a date and time in the Graylog Grok patterns so that I can save time when searching for a log. I like how the streams and the search query work, but adding a date and time will allow me to pull out a log in a milli-second."
"Lacks sufficient documentation."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
