We performed a comparison between Graylog and Rapid7 InsightOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"This had increased productivity for the dev and support teams, because we are directly notifying them."
"Storing logs in Elasticsearch means log retrieval is extremely fast, and full text search is available by default."
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."
"One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview."
"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."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"Lacks sufficient documentation."
"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."
"More customization is always useful."
"Dashboards, stream alerts and parsing could be improved."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"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."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
