Some of equipment does not support correct monitoring of particular errors via standard SNMP requests (example - Juniper SRX licenses expiration). In this case getting and analyzing syslogs as well as creating event-based alerts/notifications brings great relief of a network administrator life! The second case - is a simple analyzing firewall log events as SolarWinds Log Analyzer (LA) can keep logs for a longer time than an equipment built-in tool.

Based on my personal experience SolorWinds Log Analyzer is the best product on the market. Splunk Enterprise is the other system we use for monitoring but it's more complicated and requires extra skills Moreover Solarwinds Support Team response fast to any issues
