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."I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The user interface is very good."
"It is stable."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"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."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"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 solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"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."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."
"Technical support should be improved."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
