"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"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 is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"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."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"It could be more stable."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"It could be even more automated."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Cons →
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"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."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
