    Grafana Loki can compile data logs for easy exploration of a service and enable quick troubleshooting and error tracing for engineers who may not have deeper access. However, Loki is dependent on the service logging complexity, which, depending on the logger, may not be robust enough and limit the value offered.

    It is most suited where there multi cloud platform as VCloud suite provides most 2 important licences i.e. Vsphere 9India's leading hypervisor) and Vrealize Suite which helps to automate and also simplies IT management by making the solution most agile, efficient and easy to use. If there is a simple environment with just few servers where there is need for only 2-3 VMs, i will not recommend this.

    • There is nothing exactly like cons but one must should check all the features, it can be confusing at the times.
    • It can be expensive as compared to some other products available in the market.
    • Implementation can be little tricky, should done by Vmware engineer

    Usability
    Grafana Labs
    Grafana Loki makes accessing and viewing service logs easy for engineers who may not be familiar with going into service. However, useability can be limited if engineers are unaware of what the queries should look like or where in the service to direct Loki to look for logging.

    First and foremost if Grafana Loki is based on CNCF open source projects so organizations can get freedom to choice to configure it at your own other main thing is Grafana Loki is totally free of cost and we can deploy it on our infrastructure. On compared with other managed services like Datadog, New Relic it is very expensive and we also don't have much control on the tools we use.

    VCloud mostly provides cloud management platform, all others also provide the same plus some other features so, Vcloud can be little less expensive in comparison to other solutions available in market. Also, it's very easy to use and deploy and manage your cloud platform. It is widely used by mid scale as well as large scale companies.

    • Positive only- Vrealize suite helps is IT automation by making it cost-effective and efficient.
    • Less time is consumed by our IT administrators because of Automating process and they can do better monitoring
    • It can be really cost effective for if any company wants to make private cloud. It did the same with us as through vCloud we get all the VMware software required.
