"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"I like the interface."
"It needs more resilience and functionality."
"The only problem is that if you have too many events that occur, then the storage capacity becomes a problem. We would need to increase the storage capacity."
"From a functionality point of view there are issues sometimes."
"Dashboards and reports could provide better visualization of SIEM activity."
"Needs better visualization options beyond the time series charts and a few other options that they have."
"I have also been working with other SIEM solutions, and I have observed that they have extensive Linux-based and Unix-based integrations. They have been able to support some of the Linux-based agents, which is useful to investigate and process the information on the Linux and Unix side."
"The threat intelligence functionality can be better. In addition, it can have more monitoring capabilities."
"IBM Security QRadar’s GUI could be improved."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"The solution is a very good tool, but it has a lot of limitations. One of the main issues is around how you define your retention policy, for instance, in Log Insight. It doesn't have it. You can't define a log retention policy. You also can't define the destination or location for your logs. All of the logs are in one index or one bucket."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"Technical support should be improved."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
