The Graylog features that have proven to be most beneficial for our data analysis in particular are that we tend to use it as a big data store, so we have the correlation rules that, if something matches under certain conditions, it raises an alarm.

What I like about Graylog is that it's real-time and you have access to the raw data. So, you ingest it, and you have access to every message and every data item you ingest. You can then build analytics on top of that. You can look at the raw data, and you can do some volumetric estimations, such as how big traffic you have, how many messages of data of a type you have, etc.

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.

One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview.

The problem was with the complexity and the cost to add extensions.

Graylog Enterprise performs well overall; however, the UI could be improved because the SOC team creates multiple dashboards based on their use cases, and creating dashboards is complex.

The area in Graylog that needs to be improved or enhanced would be the integrations.

When it comes to configuring the processing pipeline, writing the rules can be very tedious, especially since the documentation isn't extensive on how the functions provided for these rules work.

I hope to see improvements in Graylog for more interactivity, user-friendliness, and creating alerts. The initial setup is complex.

The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic.

Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous.

For Python developers, it would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community.
