JSA Series Secure Analytics Virtual Appliance vs. SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server

This is an amazing tool if you have a Juniper infrastructure. It has served us well in dealing with networking monitoring, security event analysis, and analyzing all the data that transverses our network. We haven't run into any situations where this isn't a good product to utilize unless we are dealing with other manufacturers like Cisco products.

Kiwi Syslog has the best usability of any syslog server. While not being able to offer the most features, the ones it does have are intuitive and easy to work with. Everything that it has is where you think it should be. If you can't find it in the menus, it doesn't exist.

Because the solution is so simple to use and implement, support wasn't very necessary. The one time I did call them to better understand where logs were stored, they were very helpful and friendly. Kiwi has been around for some time and not a lot has changed over the years, so support for it is pretty straightforward and quick.

Not even a close comparison between these two. Juniper is an amazing product with unlimited capabilities while FortiSIEM wasn't quite ready to be deployed. We like how much time, effort, and energy went into the development of Juniper's product.

PRTG is a great package and very useful, but the jump from the free 100 sensor price model to the first tier of the paid model is WAY too expensive. SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server is very inexpensive and provides us with the results we needed for log monitoring.
