Pros	One Identity, by Quest No answers on this topic	SolarWinds Collection of SNMP traps a reliable and stable collection server for these is crucial to troubleshooting and time to ROS. Kiwi excels at this. Easy to install set up and train users on. The free version is a good free tool and handy to use for personal labs and other smalle use cases. SNMP traps to user readable format is great, sometimes syslog and smnp messages can be hard to interpret and read with out a knowledge of how to do this.

Cons	One Identity, by Quest No answers on this topic	SolarWinds Minimalistic; If you're looking for something with analysis features look elsewhere. Operating System support is Windows only. Some management features cannot be configured via web interface. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	One Identity, by Quest No answers on this topic	SolarWinds 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	One Identity, by Quest No answers on this topic	SolarWinds 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.

Alternatives Considered	One Identity, by Quest No answers on this topic	SolarWinds 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
