We performed a comparison between Graylog and ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer 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."UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"What I like about Graylog is that it's real-time and you have access to the raw data. So, you ingest it, and you have access to every message and every data item you ingest. You can then build analytics on top of that. You can look at the raw data, and you can do some volumetric estimations, such as how big traffic you have, how many messages of data of a type you have, etc."
"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."
"I like the correlation and the alerting."
"I am very proud of how very stable the solution is."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"It is stable."
"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."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The user interface is very good."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"Lacks sufficient documentation."
"We ran into problems with Elasticsearch throwing a circuit-breaking exception due to field data size being too large. It turned out that the heap size directly impacted this size in a high-throughput environment, causing unexplained instability in Graylog. We were able to troubleshoot on the Elasticsearch size, but we should have been able to reference some minimum requirements for Graylog to know that our settings weren't sufficient."
"More customization is always useful."
"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."
"I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."
"I hope to see improvements in Graylog for more interactivity, user-friendliness, and creating alerts. The initial setup is complex."
"It would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The scalability is limited."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"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."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
