Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Open source and user friendly.""The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface.""Storing logs in Elasticsearch means log retrieval is extremely fast, and full text search is available by default.""Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful.""The build is stable and requires little maintenance, even compared to some extremely expensive products.""We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts.""Everything stands out as valuable, including the fact that I can quantify and qualify the logs, create pipelines and process the logs in any way I like, and create charts or data maps.""The ability to write custom alerts is key to information security and compliance."

"​I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond​."

More Quest InTrust Pros →

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.""With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license.""Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes.""Lacks sufficient documentation.""There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature.​""I would like to see a date and time in the Graylog Grok patterns so that I can save time when searching for a log. I like how the streams and the search query work, but adding a date and time will allow me to pull out a log in a milli-second.""More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great.""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-"
