LogPoint vs. Squadcast

LogPoint is incredibly useful for pulling information from various log sources and combining them together to offer insights into suspicious or potentially malicious behaviour. It is not intuitive and can take some time to get used to. Once you're up and running though, it's easy to onboard new log sources. Search queries can again be tough to get used to, but LogPoint support is really helpful and can offer assistance with writing more complex searches.

We tied Squadcast into our CI/CD pipeline for Airflow monitoring of workflows, and had it looking for failures and specific jobs. Then communicating out to a resource group with automated no answer or response next person communication. A lot of tools stop at one generic communication, but Squadcast allows you to take it a step further.

Overall, LogPoint is pretty easy to get started with but faces issues with specific things (syslog on custom ports, script log collection, etc.).

LogPoint support is outstanding. They are incredibly helpful, and on occasions have proactively identified issues with our setup, and logged cases on our behalf before we had even noticed there was a problem. If there is a search we need to write that is beyond our skills, LogPoint support can typically write it for us within a couple of days. They are always very responsive, and I am yet to have a bad support experience.

Squadcast is a much more user friendly product that works with multiple platforms and tools. I can't say this easily for the other tools that I've used
