We performed a comparison between Logz.io 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."The other nice thing about Logz.io is their team. When it comes to onboarding, their support is incredibly proactive. They bring the brand experience from a customer services perspective because their team is always there to help you refine filters and tweak dashboards. That is really a useful thing to have. Their engagement is really supportive."
"InsightOne is the main reason why we use LogMeIn. This is mostly because of log data that we are pushing tools and logs in general."
"The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues."
"We use the tool to track the dev and production environment."
"The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature. It's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs. We can see status really clearly and very fast, with just a couple of clicks."
"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."
"It is massively useful and great for testing. We can just go, find logs, and attach them easily. It has a very quick lookup. Whereas, before we would have to go, dig around, and find the server that the logs were connected to, then go to the server, download the log, and attach it. Now, we can just go straight to this solution, type in the log ID and server ID, and obtain the information that we want."
"The query mechanism for response codes and application health is valuable."
"I like the interface."
"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."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"The interface of the solution is good."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring."
"The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API."
"The solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well."
"I would like them to improve how they manage releases. Some of our integrations integrate specifically with set versions. Logz.io occasionally releases an update that might break that integration. On one occasion, we found out a little bit too late, then we had to roll it back."
"When it comes to reducing our troubleshooting time, it depends. When there are no bugs in Logz.io, it reduces troubleshooting by 5 to 10 percent. When there are bugs, it increases our troubleshooting time by 200 percent or more."
"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two."
"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."
"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"The tool is expensive."
"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."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
