We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it can be fully integrated with Microsoft solutions and it doesn't impact the productivity order."

"The ability to write custom alerts is key to information security and compliance.""The build is stable and requires little maintenance, even compared to some extremely expensive products.""The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface.""Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching.""I am very proud of how very stable the solution is.""Allowing us to set up alerts and integrate with platforms we already use, such as Slack and OpsGenie to alert users of these errors proactively, is also a very useful feature.""UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead.""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."

Cons
"The pricing could be improved. It needs to be reduced."

More Change Auditor for Windows File Servers Cons →

"Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes.""The biggest problem is the collector application, as we wanted to avoid using Graylog Collector Sidecar due to its architecture.""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.""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.""It would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community.""I hope to see improvements in Graylog for more interactivity, user-friendliness, and creating alerts. The initial setup is complex.""With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license.""I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
