I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

Comprehensive monitoring has improved performance, capacity planning, and multi-source log analysis
VMware Aria Operations for Logs would be used to completely monitor the health of your environment. Second is to understand your existing capacity and forecast your capacity for the next year or so. Third would be on performance management, understanding how the environment is performing, and what has to be done to optimize it. We use VMware Aria Operations for Logs for these purposes. We also use VMware Aria Operations for Logs to monitor non-VMware components as well. VMware Aria Operations for Logs is now part of a bigger suite with several modules added. You have an option to collect logs from various sources and then you can do some sorts of analytics from it as well. All of this can be done with VMware Aria Operations for Logs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig, with a clear dashboard that has many sensors in a single space, providing a helicopter view of the environment while still allowing deeper investigation if there are serious issues, and it's pretty user-friendly."
"I like the interface."
"However, Log Insight is quite good and very useful."
"Another advantage of the solution is that it can also integrate with your network and other hardware and software devices, so you would be able to manage your entire IT estate using just one single tool which is vRealize Log Insight, so I would strongly recommend it to anyone thinking of purchasing the solution."
"Log Insight seems to be better than other solutions in terms of very good integrations and working out items to be able to log."
"The setup costs can sometimes be a bit expensive but I think for the technology they are offering it's top of the mark."
"It is a scalable solution; I can say that I agree with the claims that it can be scaled, it is an awesome product, and organizationally it is able to cover our needs completely."
 

Cons

"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"The product is really expensive compared to other products in the market."
"The solution is a very good tool, but it has a lot of limitations. One of the main issues is around how you define your retention policy, for instance, in Log Insight. It doesn't have it. You can't define a log retention policy. You also can't define the destination or location for your logs. All of the logs are in one index or one bucket."
"I give it a seven because it isn't easy to scale, and the cost is too high, but it's a good product overall."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"What I'd like to improve in vRealize Log Insight is the licensing model. VMware provides vRealize Log Insight along with the VMware Cloud Foundation, but customers who would like to go for the native VMware would have to procure vRealize Log Insight separately. Today, vRealize Log Insight is offered on two different licenses, one is based on the number of VMs, and the other is based on the number of physical codes on the machine. If VMware can provide a bundle offer for customers who procure more than ten licenses, where you can have an option to run, for example, three hundred machines on vRealize Log Insight with no extra cost, this would encourage more people to adopt the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of vRealize Log Insight is for a cloud option to be available, which would be a pay-as-you-go licensing model that would allow me to pick and choose what I'll monitor. For example, I have one thousand and three hundred critical servers, and the seven hundred servers for basic development, I don't want to monitor on vRealize Log Insight today, so I should be able to pick what I need to monitor on the solution and only pay for that specific instance. If VMware can apply these changes, it would help VMware customers to procure more or adopt more of vRealize Log Insight even in smaller projects."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."
"It is not cheap. But it is worth it."
"The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Pricing could always be lower. If it were free, I would be more satisfied."
"Pricing is good because it is part of the suite package. It comes in a bundle for us."
"The pricing has been updated recently."
"I think it is a reasonably priced product."
