PRTG Network Monitor Syslog is just a sensor but SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server has separate applications which are very useful. Incentivized Helpful? DC Dennis Chwee Senior Network Engineer Chose SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog is a bare-bones Syslog Server.

Verified User Engineer Chose SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server Our group already had a license for the Orion Syslog server that comes bundled with Orion NPM, but it didn't quite meet our requirements for performance.

Verified User Engineer Chose SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server I've not had any other interaction with other Syslog servers.

Verified User Technician Chose SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server The price for Kiwi was acceptable and it checked off all the boxes of a product that we needed.

Pros	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	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	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	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.
