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."Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"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."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"I like the interface."
"The events are notably more descriptive, aiding in security and event analysis. We've also integrated Sky Collector, providing valuable insights and solutions for troubleshooting."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"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."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"The tool is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
