Stable solution with room for improvement in interactivity and user-friendliness

We have tested IBM QRadar and now use it. First of all, the key factor is the pricing. I saw that IBM QRadar has an interactive dashboard, providing valuable insights to people. Additionally, I've seen that IBM QRadar has an agent that simplifies installations across various platforms without requiring intricate configurations. Also, IBM QRadar has automatic reporting.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."

"The ability to write custom alerts is key to information security and compliance."

"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."

"Message forwarding through the in-built module."

"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."

"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."

More Graylog pros

"The reports that you can run are really nice."

"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."

"The product is very user-friendly."

"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."

"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."

"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."

"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."

"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."

Cons

"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 some kind of visualization included in Graylog."

"Dashboards, stream alerts and parsing could be improved."

"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."

"The biggest problem is the collector application, as we wanted to avoid using Graylog Collector Sidecar due to its architecture."

"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."

"Graylog can improve the index rotation as it's quite a complex solution."

"We ran into problems with Elasticsearch throwing a circuit-breaking exception due to field data size being too large. It turned out that the heap size directly impacted this size in a high-throughput environment, causing unexplained instability in Graylog. We were able to troubleshoot on the Elasticsearch size, but we should have been able to reference some minimum requirements for Graylog to know that our settings weren't sufficient."

More Graylog cons

"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."

"Their technical support should be improved."

"The support needs improvement."

"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."

"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."

"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."

"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."

"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using a community edition. I have not looked at the enterprise offering from Graylog."

"There is an open source version and an enterprise version. I wouldn't recommend the enterprise version, but as an open source solution, it is solid and works really well."

"We're using the Community edition."

"Graylog is a free open-source solution. The free version has a capacity limitation of 2 GB daily, if you want to go above this you have to purchase a license."

"If you want something that works and do not have the money for Splunk or QRadar, take Graylog."

"I use the free version of Graylog."

"It's open source and free. They have a paid version, but we never looked into that because we never needed the features of the paid version."

"You get a lot out-of-the-box with the non-enterprise version, so give it a try first."

More Graylog pricing and cost advice

"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."

"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."

"There is a cost for each feature used."

"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."

"My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."
