NXLog Reviews & Product Details

NXLog Platform is an on-premises, centralized log management solution designed to help enterprises effectively manage and analyze security logs. It serves as the backbone of security and operations monitoring, enabling organizations to collect, parse, process, enrich, store, and analyze log data from a wide range of sources. NXLog addresses the critical tasks associated with security log management, ensuring organizations respond promptly to potential threats. The NXLog Platform is particularly beneficial for cybersecurity and infrastructure professionals. It supports all major operating systems, hardware architectures, and log formats, making it a flexible choice for diverse IT environments. By integrating with leading enterprise-grade tools and popular Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, NXLog empowers users to enhance their security posture. The platform is designed to improve infrastructure visibility, allowing organizations to gain insights into their systems and enhance threat prevention through a multi-platform approach. One of the key advantages of NXLog is its ability to reduce license costs associated with SIEM tools. By filtering out noisy and unnecessary log data, users can focus on high-quality logs that are essential for effective monitoring and analysis. The platform allows for the truncation of unused fields and the removal of duplicate entries, streamlining the log data and enhancing the overall quality. This capability not only improves the efficiency of security operations but contributes to cost savings by optimizing the use of SIEM solutions. NXLog simplifies IT security management by providing a single tool for log collection and aggregation from various systems across an organization. This reduction in complexity leads to decreased detection and response times, enabling teams to address security-related events more effectively. Furthermore, the platform aids organizations in meeting compliance requirements by centralizing logs in a SIEM while archiving others for long-term storage. Trusted by organizations worldwide, including government agencies, educational institutions, small businesses, and large enterprises, NXLog serves as a gateway to improved IT security and operations. By leveraging powerful insights derived from log data, businesses can mitigate cyber risks and achieve regulatory compliance, leading to enhanced observability across their IT infrastructure.

"Easy to learn, difficult to master"

3.5/5

What do you like best about NXLog?

NXLog is a powerful parser and an easy to set up way of moving logs between devices. Basic implementation is very simple. We use it on servers to forward logs to our SIEM and it has worked wonderfully for years. The few times I've had to deal with support, they've been responsive, persistent, and tenacious.

The nxlog configs are very easy to set up and then ignore. I rarely have to edit it these days. Integrating it with my new siem was the last time I had to do any real work on it until a recent update broke some of my configs. Support was responsive and a new version was released the resolved our issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NXLog?

While nxlog is easy to set up in a basic format, and very powerful, it takes time and effort to learn the ins and outs of the program and to build out exactly what you want. I guess, really, it's easy to learn, difficult to master. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"NXLog Review: A Flexible and Lightweight Log Forwarder"

4/5

What do you like best about NXLog?

NXLog is powerful and easy to configure using a simple configuration file which can handle complex parsing and filtering. The agent is lightweight and consumes minimal system resources on endpoints and servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NXLog?

There is a bit of a learning curve to begin using NXLog efficiently and requires some familiarity with log formats. The lack of a GUI and debugging can be cumbersome to those who are used to more verbose solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid and light product for log collecting across platforms."

4.5/5

What do you like best about NXLog?

What was very helpful, on Windows side, is that the configuration is a text file which is easy to set up, customize, deploy, manage and integrate across the infrastructure. Documentation is really great and clear. The software is usually a small footprint and runs without much fuss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NXLog?

Not everything is perfect on Windows side of things. For example, it's easy to install with GPO, but cannot be uninstalled via GPO. Also when you have an issue, it's sometimes difficult to find a solution. Their knowledge articles seem to be behind the paywall, or some of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
