"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 are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing.""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's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize.""The root cause analysis feature is very valuable.""I like the interface.""It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution.""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."

Cons
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier.""The scalability is limited.""I would like to see more detailed reports.""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 solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities.""Support could improve to make the solution better.""It may not be as easy to use as Splunk.""The first tier of customer service and support is not great."

More ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer Cons →

"Log retention should have more options for user control.""Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight.""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.""The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring.""Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors.""I don't use the solution on a day to day basis, so I'm not sure what specifically can be improved.""I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now.""Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."
  • "There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
  • "ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
  • "Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
  • "We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."
  • "ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
  • More ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing could always be lower. If it were free, I would be more satisfied."
  • "The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."
  • "Pricing is good because it is part of the suite package. It comes in a bundle for us."
  • "The licensing cost for vRealize Log Insight is a little higher, so in terms of cost, it all depends upon what kind of environment you have. If you have a complete virtualized environment, or at least you're using a ninety-five percent virtualized environment, then vRealize Log Insight will play a very good role because it is a VMware component, so it has very tight integration with other VMware components and systems. This means you don't have to procure any other monitoring and management tool, and you don't need a separate automation tool. vRealize Log Insight will have an upper hand if your environment is purely virtualized on VMware. If you're using a mix of physical and virtual components, for example, a 50:50 ratio, then you need to have a third-party component to manage overall monitoring."
  • "I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."
  • "I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "I think it is a reasonably priced product."
  • "The pricing has been updated recently."
