"We are very happy with the stability of the solution."
"Simplicity is the most valuable feature."
"The best thing about Kiwi Syslog is that it filters logs into different levels."
"It allows us to digest the information, the data, the different data streams, so we can make decisions based upon information that we receive, and it is pretty robust."
"We used it to create a custom anomaly detection data model to monitor the activity of our back-end services on an hourly basis relative to the past three months of activity."
"It scales better in the cloud than on-premise."
"The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly."
"The technical support is among the best in the market."
"Splunk's visualizations make it easy for users to understand the data."
"The solution allows easy gathering and ingestion of the data."

"Technical support could definitely be better."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly and customizable dashboard."
"I would like to have email notifications for emergency logs."
"SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server could improve by reducing the price."
"I would like to see better search functions and better filters in the next release."
"If it could be made available as a service, this would be much better than as a product."
"The tool itself is very difficult to configure. It's great for its number of inputs, for the different types of systems devices, and things that it could collect information from. To actually make good use of it, you need a fairly dedicated team of people that have some reasonably good programming or modeling skills to be able to do the things that you need to do with it. Whereas a lot of the other tools are better packaged for that, and so require a lot less training and a lot less dedication."
"It needs a better way to export dynamic views without requiring a ton of code and user/pw."
"An improved user interface along with multi-tenancy support would be beneficial."
"I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"The integration could be a bit better. They charge for certain integrations."
"We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
