Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Datadog, Wazuh and others in Log Management."I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable 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."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. "
"It needs to have better reporting. "
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"The tool is expensive."
"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"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."
"What I'd like to improve in vRealize Log Insight is the licensing model. VMware provides vRealize Log Insight along with the VMware Cloud Foundation, but customers who would like to go for the native VMware would have to procure vRealize Log Insight separately. Today, vRealize Log Insight is offered on two different licenses, one is based on the number of VMs, and the other is based on the number of physical codes on the machine. If VMware can provide a bundle offer for customers who procure more than ten licenses, where you can have an option to run, for example, three hundred machines on vRealize Log Insight with no extra cost, this would encourage more people to adopt the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of vRealize Log Insight is for a cloud option to be available, which would be a pay-as-you-go licensing model that would allow me to pick and choose what I'll monitor. For example, I have one thousand and three hundred critical servers, and the seven hundred servers for basic development, I don't want to monitor on vRealize Log Insight today, so I should be able to pick what I need to monitor on the solution and only pay for that specific instance. If VMware can apply these changes, it would help VMware customers to procure more or adopt more of vRealize Log Insight even in smaller projects."
"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."
"Technical support should be improved."
