# LOKI Reviews **Vendor:** LOKI **Category:** [SD-WAN Solutions](https://www.g2.com/categories/sd-wan) **Average Rating:** 4.2/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 10 ## About LOKI Automate and secure your network in a so simple way that anyone can do it ## LOKI Reviews ### 1. This is the de-facto stack for many applications especially telcos **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Asad K. | Technical CARE Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2022 **What do you like best about LOKI?** What I like the best is the availability of open-source free software components bundled with the openness of Linux at the bottom of it. Openstack gives you the power to customize the underlying infrastructure as per your needs. From SRIOV to DPDK, from vHOST to NUMA awareness & hugepages, it supports everything & gives you the flexibility to develop an infrastructure that is ready for network-intensive & resource-intensive (CPU & RAM) applications. In addition to that, you can leverage Kubernetes as a manager for all your containerized workloads either on Baremetal or on top of Openstack **What do you dislike about LOKI?** Setting up the whole infrastructure for the first time is not an easy task. It may take days to setup the infrastructure & the base software image for OpenStack is also very heavy. On top of that if you setup Kubernetes with same requirement then it is again an overhead **What problems is LOKI solving and how is that benefiting you?** You create your own bungalow by setting up LOKI in your data center instead of hiring a fully furnished flat i.e. paying for the public clouds. It is definitely minimizing the budget of your data center because you just need to invest in the server hardware & nothing on the software side. With an increasing support community, it is getting easy to get support professionals available for maintenance of the whole stack ### 2. Good cloud based network platform **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vishnu N. | Software Engineer Intern, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 07, 2022 **What do you like best about LOKI?** The Loki is the best platform for security for networks. Their infrastructure scans the threats automatically and protects the whole network from the threats. And it is user-friendly too. **What do you dislike about LOKI?** There I can't see more dislikes but Loki uses basic HTML and css , jquery and all I think that is the oldest technology. So they may upgrade to new technologies and update their platform **What problems is LOKI solving and how is that benefiting you?** The best thing was it is a cloud-based network platform and It can be managed by non-technical peoples also as it can be managed without strong technology knowledge and it is a secure platform too. ### 3.

Loki is amazing **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Roderick E. | IT Security Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2022 **What do you like best about LOKI?** The ELK/EFK stack and the Loki project are comparable, but Loki is easier to set up, operate, and has more features. **What do you dislike about LOKI?** Takes a good about of time to setup but the documentation is very through and helps you along the way. **What problems is LOKI solving and how is that benefiting you?** Loki is especially inexpensive because it only indexes metadata. Running indices for full-text processing necessitates the use of more expensive RAM instances. It's also less expensive to keep logs on an object store like S3. ### 5.

It needs a technically sound admin to operate. **What problems is LOKI solving and how is that benefiting you?** LOKI is trying to simplify managing network traffic incidents for small organizations by automating it through SDNs and a SaaS-based portal. ### 6.
