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."ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"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."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The user interface is very good."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful."
"The interface of the solution is good."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The scalability is limited."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"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."
"What I'd like to improve in vRealize Log Insight is the licensing model. VMware provides vRealize Log Insight along with the VMware Cloud Foundation, but customers who would like to go for the native VMware would have to procure vRealize Log Insight separately. Today, vRealize Log Insight is offered on two different licenses, one is based on the number of VMs, and the other is based on the number of physical codes on the machine. If VMware can provide a bundle offer for customers who procure more than ten licenses, where you can have an option to run, for example, three hundred machines on vRealize Log Insight with no extra cost, this would encourage more people to adopt the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of vRealize Log Insight is for a cloud option to be available, which would be a pay-as-you-go licensing model that would allow me to pick and choose what I'll monitor. For example, I have one thousand and three hundred critical servers, and the seven hundred servers for basic development, I don't want to monitor on vRealize Log Insight today, so I should be able to pick what I need to monitor on the solution and only pay for that specific instance. If VMware can apply these changes, it would help VMware customers to procure more or adopt more of vRealize Log Insight even in smaller projects."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
