"Logging like Pro"
5/5
What do you like best about Graylog?

We use Graylog to view all logs for system across different environment (dev, test, pre-prod, prod). It gives us power to debug all good or bad event occurred in systems. We use this tool to backup our logs so if needed to review them, we can go back as far needed. It allows us to collect our data so easily and fast approach.

Its free version is extraordinary awesome to use.

Log searching is quick if you use it well. Graylog does good job of managing Elasticsearch index. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Graylog?

If you do not know how to play around its setup then it would be tricky. Some documentation and tutorial video would be helpful.

Graylog can't read from syslog files, so you need to send your messages to Graylog directly. In terms of management, it's not friendly enough on the dashboard front. Reporting functionality is quite messy and poor.

sometimes you mostly ended with lots of data of no use if it is not properly configured as per your system.

Searching of logs sometimes needed query as per information needed which is not easy to write. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This allows us to find the meaning of the data quickly and easily. Its interface is clean and organized, it is ideal to navigate without problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Graylog?

It has limitations in visualizations and graphics, they should expand the options to improve performance within the platform. This does not mean that it is bad software, because we have really had a satisfactory experience, but it can be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"useful app for centralized logging and available with many features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Graylog?

It helps to check all the servers at a single time and no need to go to each server. It is very useful for managing open source logs. It catches any cyber crime very easily by doing deep analysis. We can search anything very fast and easily. It has very nice dashboard logs table and creating indexing lots of things to make easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Graylog?

It does not work if the RAM storage is below 2GB. One who does not deeply know about technology will not be able to work with this software. It is not very clear how to connect graylog to an external collector capable of providing widely advertised threat intelligence features. Sometimes problems occur within the system such as screen freezing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding software with so many powerful features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Graylog?

I like the amazing flexibility which it offers for managing open source log. It is used rightly for aggregating and parsing logs that can be latterly analyzed in order to get most relevant information. I would say this is the best ever replacement for Splunk. It is used to detach threats by doing deep analysis. I appreciate and love the way it deals with cyber-crime using logs as well as traces of intrusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Graylog?

The only drawback I hardly found yet is that its learning curve is quite steep as compare to other software due to which users must have little bit technical knowledge otherwise after getting familiar with it, soon you will have complete command on it then it is very much enjoyable. Other then this I am always a satisfied user of Graylog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
