We performed a comparison between Graylog and VMware Aria Operations for Logs 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."We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"This had increased productivity for the dev and support teams, because we are directly notifying them."
"Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface."
"One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview."
"Storing logs in Elasticsearch means log retrieval is extremely fast, and full text search is available by default."
"We run a containerized microservices environment. Being able to set up streams and search for errors and anomalies across hundreds of containers is why a log aggregation platform like Graylog is valuable to us."
"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."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"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."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"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."
"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 events are notably more descriptive, aiding in security and event analysis. We've also integrated Sky Collector, providing valuable insights and solutions for troubleshooting."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"Elasticsearch recommendations for tuning could be better. Graylog doesn't have direct support for running the system inside of Kubernetes, so it can be challenging to fill in the gaps and set up containers in a way that is both performant and stable."
"Graylog could improve the process of creating rules. We have to create them manually by doing parses and applying them. Other SIEM solutions have basic rules and you can create and get more events of interest."
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."
"I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
"With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license."
"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"I don't use the solution on a day to day basis, so I'm not sure what specifically can be improved."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"The tool is expensive."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
