"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment."
"I like the interface."
"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"The technical support is not very good."
"Pricing-wise, it not affordable for the normal customer. Most of the people want to see different types of reporting, but FortiAnalyzer's fee is a little bit difficult."
"Their pricing model is not the best and needs work."
"The following could be better: operation and maintenance, high-availability architecture, and management link embedded in the transmission link."
"The product should be integrated with other third-party solutions for context exchange."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer could improve the user interface, and the experience of users receiving the reports and tracking could be better."
"The pricing could be better."
"The solution can improve the incident response function to provide more detailed information on where the incident is originating."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"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."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"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."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
