Cons
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple.""The first tier of customer service and support is not great.""Support could improve to make the solution better.""The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities.""The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability.""What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven.

"It would be beneficial for Nagios to incorporate a tool that goes beyond log management and includes features to monitor overall system health and assess the effectiveness of antivirus solutions.""The support could be better.""The configurations during initial setup could be improved. If they could be agentless, as in the case of the Ansible product, it would be better. I would like to be able to analyze the network bandwidth.""The customization and dashboards have shortcomings and need to be improved to make the tool look more presentable.""As we are talking about a product which is open to the public, the pricing makes it challenging for us to profit off of its marketing."
