"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"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."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it."
"This solution could be easier to use."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."

"Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"Its reporting tools need improvements. It would be good if they can provide integration with other ticketing systems. Currently, we only have integration with Slack and Jira. It is also a bit slow, and its replication engine can be improved."
"The tool is expensive."
"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"I don't use the solution on a day to day basis, so I'm not sure what specifically can be improved."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
