"The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization.

"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload.""The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems.""vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues.""It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure.""Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure.""The root cause analysis feature is very valuable.""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.""The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."

Cons
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with.""This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage.""The tool needs to integrate with legacy servers. Big companies can have legacy servers that may not always be updated.""This solution is very hard to implement.""The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it.""This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it.""They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version.""Their visuals and graphs need to be better."

More Elastic Security Cons →

"Log retention should have more options for user control.""The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern.""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.""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.""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.""The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring.""In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We use the open-source version, so there is no charge for this solution."
  • "We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."
  • "Elastic Stack is an open-source tool. You don't have to pay anything for the components."
  • "There is no charge for using the open-source version."
  • "This is an open-source product, so there are no costs."
  • "It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
  • "It is easy to deploy, easy to use, and you get everything you need to become operational with it, and have nothing further to pay unless you want the OLED plugin."
  • "Compared to other products such as Dynatrace, this is one of the cheaper options."
  • More Elastic Security 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."
