"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is quite flexible."
"This solution has allowed us to correlate logs from multiple sources."
"We find predictive analysis capabilities valuable."
"Improved our organization's TCO."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"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."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."

"I think that the search speed of this solution could be improved."
"I have noticed a few things while working on this. After the restart of the server, sometimes, the services misbehave, and you need to manually start or restart the service. I have seen that specifically with the Tomcat service. Sometimes, when you click on log sources, instead of opening the log source extension, it redirects you over the internet."
"IMB should reduce the pricing, or reduce some of the features for a more economical solution for the customer."
"The API integration for AD is a problem when it comes to vulnerability management. If you want to incorporate multiple factor authentication it becomes a problem with the AD. It doesn't integrate well. That needs to be improved."
"The playbook guide which specifies the rules for security use cases needs to be provided to support in case the organization needs help."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"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."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"Technical support should be improved."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
