Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server

Main agenda to use kiwi syslog product to ingest network related logs . Initially I thought its expensive but its not that much per year they are charging $319 and unlimited technical support . The licensed version can handle around 2 million messages per hour, and the free version handles about 300,000 per hour and licensed version has default 500,000 message buffer, while the free version has a maximum 500 message buffer

Pros

  • Centrally manage syslog messages
  • Receive real-time alerts based on critical events
  • GUI is available to watch events in real-time
  • User-friendly software

Cons

  • version update alert feature should be improve
  • Syslog server connectivity Alerts should be popup
  • Email alerting should be improve
  • Bandwidth of log ingestion should be improve
  • Easy to integrate with other resources
  • GUI feature
  • Configuration can done from GUI itself
  • Error log file visibility in File explorer
  • Cheap software
  • 100 ROI overall business prospective
  • Every time we have to monitor disk space ,Because sometime its will not work properly
  • Saves recourses expenses
  • Large and small scale project very helpful
Syslog-ng don't have customer support or technical support .But its a free software and no clarity on limitations ingestion bandwidth. No gui feature and everything should be done from backend. Gui can easily help to start and stop service ,easy to configure. Unlimited technical and customer support . Even when server got shutdown will get on-call or immediate support that will helps a lot to resolve errors
