Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Message forwarding through the in-built module.""Storing logs in Elasticsearch means log retrieval is extremely fast, and full text search is available by default.""Open source and user friendly.""The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface.""I like the correlation and the alerting.""It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events.""Everything stands out as valuable, including the fact that I can quantify and qualify the logs, create pipelines and process the logs in any way I like, and create charts or data maps.""Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."

Cons
"Lacks sufficient documentation.""Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes.""More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great.""It would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community.""I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog.""There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature.​""Dashboards, stream alerts and parsing could be improved.""The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic."

More Graylog Cons →

"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time.""Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything.""There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution.""The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time.""Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
