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 most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed."
"It is the best open-source product for people working in SO, managing and analyzing logs."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"It's a good platform and the very best in the current market. We looked at the Forester report from December 2022 where it was said to be a leader."
"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar."
"Just the ability to do a lot more than just up-down is nice, which a lot of people take for granted."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like the interface."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"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."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"There should be a simulation environment to check whether my Elastic implementation is functioning perfectly fine. Other solutions have their own Android and iOS applications that I can install on my mobile so that I am continuously connected to the SIEM."
"One limitation of Elastic Security is that it does not have built-in workflows for all tasks. For example, if you need a workflow for compliance, you will need to create a custom workflow."
"Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good."
"This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it."
"We'd like better premium support."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"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."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"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."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
"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."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
