We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts.""One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview.""The ability to write custom alerts is key to information security and compliance.""I like the correlation and the alerting.""The best feature of Graylog is the Elasticsearch integration. We can integrate and we can run filters, such as an event of interest, and those logs we can send to any SIEM tool or as an analytic. Additionally, there are clear and well-documented implementation instructions on their website to follow if needed.""The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface.""UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead.""It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."

"The customers who have the use case of monitoring the file server and want to know the user's activity. It's the Power Admin's requirement."

Cons
"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.""Dashboards, stream alerts and parsing could be improved.""The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic.""Graylog can improve the index rotation as it's quite a complex solution.""The biggest problem is the collector application, as we wanted to avoid using Graylog Collector Sidecar due to its architecture.""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.""Since container orchestration systems are popular and Graylog fits the niche well, perhaps they could officially support running in docker containers on Kubernetes as a StatefulSet as a use case. That way, the declarative nature of Kubernetes config files would document their best case deployment scenario-"
