We performed a comparison between ArcSight Logger and Graylog 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."The most valuable feature is the search capability, which is simple to use."
"The technical support team is good...It is a scalable solution."
"The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."
"It's an efficient solution."
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"The solution provides information about the risk factors."
"The most valuable feature is the level of detail that you can see about certain events, even when they do not come up in the console."
"It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system."
"We have scaled from a single machine installation (a VM with a Graylog + ES + MongoDB) to (2 Graylog + 2 ES + 3 MongoDB). This was done smoothly with a minimal impact on logging."
"Storing logs in Elasticsearch means log retrieval is extremely fast, and full text search is available by default."
"The build is stable and requires little maintenance, even compared to some extremely expensive products."
"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."
"We run a containerized microservices environment. Being able to set up streams and search for errors and anomalies across hundreds of containers is why a log aggregation platform like Graylog is valuable to us."
"The best feature of Graylog is the Elasticsearch integration. We can integrate and we can run filters, such as an event of interest, and those logs we can send to any SIEM tool or as an analytic. Additionally, there are clear and well-documented implementation instructions on their website to follow if needed."
"One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview."
"ArcSight has been sold two or three times, and the quality has decreased."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use."
"We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow."
"I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution."
"In the next release, I want to see more intelligence."
"Lacks sufficient documentation."
"Graylog can improve the index rotation as it's quite a complex solution."
"I would like to see a date and time in the Graylog Grok patterns so that I can save time when searching for a log. I like how the streams and the search query work, but adding a date and time will allow me to pull out a log in a milli-second."
"I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
"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 hope to see improvements in Graylog for more interactivity, user-friendliness, and creating alerts. The initial setup is complex."
"More customization is always useful."
"With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license."
