We performed a comparison between Graylog and VMware Aria Operations for Logs 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."Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"The ability to write custom alerts is key to information security and compliance."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface."
"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."
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."
"Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."
"I like the correlation and the alerting."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"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."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"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."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic."
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"More customization is always useful."
"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."
"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-"
"I hope to see improvements in Graylog for more interactivity, user-friendliness, and creating alerts. The initial setup is complex."
"Elasticsearch recommendations for tuning could be better. Graylog doesn't have direct support for running the system inside of Kubernetes, so it can be challenging to fill in the gaps and set up containers in a way that is both performant and stable."
"Technical support should be improved."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"I don't use the solution on a day to day basis, so I'm not sure what specifically can be improved."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
