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."The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"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."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable 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."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors."
"I like the features we use, including malware detection, inventory, detection of hidden processes, and activity logs. Inventory is probably the most important feature. It tells us when processes and packages were installed and what they are, which is helpful."
"My company implemented Wazuh because it was relatively inexpensive. They could quickly get their hands on it to check a box for some audit and compliance."
"The MITRE ATT&CK correlation is most valuable."
"Wazuh's most beneficial features for our security needs are flexibility, built-in rules, integration capabilities, and documentation."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"The most valuable features are the modules and metrics."
"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 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."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"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."
"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."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"Technical support should be improved."
"Wazuh should come up with more in-built rules and integrations for the cloud."
"Wazuh has a drawback with regard to Unix systems. The solution does not allow us to do real-time monitoring for Unix systems. If usage increases, it would be a heavy fall on the other SIEM solutions or event monitoring solutions."
"Its configuration process is time-consuming."
"They could include flexibility and customization capabilities by modifying for customers based on partner agreements."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"We would like to see more improvements on the cloud."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
