"very complete log management solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Graylog?

the ability to add information to messages, with pipelines we can add or remove field without modify the original message, it's very usefull for example with lookup table, in this way it's possible to check if an ip (destination or source) it's part of a ransomware campaign. Another cool feature is the ability to route logs in different index, any index can be stored in a different location and have a different retention policy.

The enterprise version are free for 5 gb of data /daily, it's a reasonable value Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Graylog?

dashboard and visualizations, there is only two type of visualization and with few customization options, moreover some diagram cannot be modified and must be recreated, for example if a pie diagram was created it's impossible to add stacked field, it must be recreated.

"Good product and support, but the 'free' version leaves something to be desired"
4/5
What do you like best about Graylog?

The product installs and runs as advertised. There isn't a lot to say here. It is in the cheaper section of enterprise level log analysis packages but still pay homage to it's roots. It tends to be pretty quick and able to digest a large volume of data at speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Graylog?

The only dislike I have is when we ran over the rated daily limits for the 'free' version, it shut the whole thing down. This caused me to lose some logs... not a big deal, but I do point it out so others will be on the lookout for it and upgrade their license as required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reemplazando sistemas de registro antiguos con Graylog."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Graylog?

We are currently evaluating the functionality of Graylog to replace three old log collection systems. At the moment, we are satisfied with the product, highlighting the ease of installation and simplicity of its user interface. We hope to acquire technical support and training for the tool in the near future. We are currently testing the log collection functionality on about twenty of our most critical network devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Graylog?

We have been using the Graylog tool for a couple of months and so far we have no issues. To mention something, we had to read the forums quite a bit to configure the Log collection system for our devices. This encourages us to consider purchasing technical support and training for our administrators. We hope that soon you can offer technical support and documentation in Spanish, we see it as a differentiator among the other options in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Has helped simplify security audit response time"
5/5
What do you like best about Graylog?

The best part of Graylog is that I don't have to go digging through a directory full of Linux text files or Windows Event Viewer on individual servers. Having a single pane of glass into all of our logs is extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Graylog?

There's not much to dislike. The biggest annoyance to me is the workaround you have to do to run a syslog pipe on a port below 1000, where it *should* be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using graylog version 1.3 in our company infrastructure"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Graylog?

I am a system administrator so its quite easy to configure it, fix it if elasticsearch hangs or kills itself when out of memory Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Graylog?

Our company need few requirements for 3 different system. One system needs to save logs for 30 days, other one for 60 days, and another for 90 days. At least in this first version you can't seperate each stream for saving logs in custom days, every stream logs are saved for one time. So if we need to save logs for seperate times, we need 3 different graylog infrastructures Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Graylog?

Graylog has enabled me to easily search through numerous logs in one centralized location. Along with being able to review logs in one central location, Graylog provides an excellent method for creating threshholds and alerting based on those thresholds. Retention is very easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Graylog?

I dislike the lack of functionality when it comes to creating stream thresholds based on a specific field uniqueness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
