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."Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"Everything stands out as valuable, including the fact that I can quantify and qualify the logs, create pipelines and process the logs in any way I like, and create charts or data maps."
"We have scaled from a single machine installation (a VM with a Graylog + ES + MongoDB) to (2 Graylog + 2 ES + 3 MongoDB). This was done smoothly with a minimal impact on logging."
"It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."
"UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."
"I like the correlation and the alerting."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface."
"I am very proud of how very stable the solution is."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"It would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community."
"We ran into problems with Elasticsearch throwing a circuit-breaking exception due to field data size being too large. It turned out that the heap size directly impacted this size in a high-throughput environment, causing unexplained instability in Graylog. We were able to troubleshoot on the Elasticsearch size, but we should have been able to reference some minimum requirements for Graylog to know that our settings weren't sufficient."
"Over six months, I had two similar issues where searches were performed on field "messages". It exhausted all the memory of the ES node causing an ES crash and a Graylog halt."
"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 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."
"With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license."
"Lacks sufficient documentation."
"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."
"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."
"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."
