We performed a comparison between Graylog and Logz.io based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Open source and user friendly."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."
"It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."
"Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."
"The product is scalable. The solution is stable."
"It is massively useful and great for testing. We can just go, find logs, and attach them easily. It has a very quick lookup. Whereas, before we would have to go, dig around, and find the server that the logs were connected to, then go to the server, download the log, and attach it. Now, we can just go straight to this solution, type in the log ID and server ID, and obtain the information that we want."
"The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues."
"The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature. It's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs. We can see status really clearly and very fast, with just a couple of clicks."
"InsightOne is the main reason why we use LogMeIn. This is mostly because of log data that we are pushing tools and logs in general."
"We use the tool to track the dev and production environment."
"The query mechanism for response codes and application health is valuable."
"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."
"The other nice thing about Logz.io is their team. When it comes to onboarding, their support is incredibly proactive. They bring the brand experience from a customer services perspective because their team is always there to help you refine filters and tweak dashboards. That is really a useful thing to have. Their engagement is really supportive."
"I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."
"With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license."
"Graylog could improve the process of creating rules. We have to create them manually by doing parses and applying them. Other SIEM solutions have basic rules and you can create and get more events of interest."
"Over six months, I had two similar issues where searches were performed on field "messages". It exhausted all the memory of the ES node causing an ES crash and a Graylog halt."
"Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"I hope to see improvements in Graylog for more interactivity, user-friendliness, and creating alerts. The initial setup is complex."
"I would like them to improve how they manage releases. Some of our integrations integrate specifically with set versions. Logz.io occasionally releases an update that might break that integration. On one occasion, we found out a little bit too late, then we had to roll it back."
"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two."
"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."
"The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API."
"The solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well."
"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."
"The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring."
"When it comes to reducing our troubleshooting time, it depends. When there are no bugs in Logz.io, it reduces troubleshooting by 5 to 10 percent. When there are bugs, it increases our troubleshooting time by 200 percent or more."
