Centralized logs have improved troubleshooting and now reduce production incident impact
Logz.io can be improved by adding more AI-assisted root cause analysis and by improving log retention flexibility. They can also provide additional dashboard customization options. Logz.io is a very mature and grown platform with very good features. Most improvements should be around automation, AI-driven insights, and cost visibility. Because Logz.io is a very mature and grown platform that is very good, cost optimization can be made for higher costs related to higher log volumes. For larger organizations, custom dashboards can be improved. In terms of root cause analysis, there can be more AI-assisted root cause analysis capabilities.

Customization and automation streamline workflows for seamless operations
The features of Rapid7 InsightOps that I have found most valuable are the predefined policies and the use of correlation rules, which are very valuable because they eliminate the need to spend time creating those rules. This feature detects insider threats or compromised credentials by using user behavior analytics, which can collect other compromise indicators. It makes it easier to install and implement this solution because you can run it as normal behavior of users and then switch off to look for the anomalous behavior of any entities, such as laptops and others. In any violation or restricted behavior, the system will notify you that something unusual is occurring. The machine learning algorithms in Rapid7 InsightIDR for threat detection work quite effectively as part of the user entity behavior analytic model, allowing us to focus group normal typical behavior of users and then turn on the rule to spot any unexpected behavior. The automation features of Rapid7 InsightOps are quite satisfactory, as users appreciate these features, especially when integrating with the ticketing system. If something goes wrong, InsightOps will notify the ticketing system to create a ticket and assign it to the responsible person to handle the events found in the infrastructure. The customizable dashboards in Rapid7 InsightOps are quite valuable and interesting because SOC center operators spend most of their time investigating on those dashboards, making them easy to manage. Additionally, we can configure email reports for high-level talks, sending historical data without needing to look online, which is very convenient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our team doesn't spend time setting up, managing, and tuning a logging platform, which frees them up to spend time on higher value pieces of work and allows our people to focus on the high-value business change work."
"It is massively useful and great for testing. We can just go, find logs, and attach them easily. It has a very quick lookup. Whereas, before we would have to go, dig around, and find the server that the logs were connected to, then go to the server, download the log, and attach it. Now, we can just go straight to this solution, type in the log ID and server ID, and obtain the information that we want."
"The other nice thing about Logz.io is their team. When it comes to onboarding, their support is incredibly proactive. They bring the brand experience from a customer services perspective because their team is always there to help you refine filters and tweak dashboards. That is really a useful thing to have. Their engagement is really supportive."
"InsightOne is the main reason why we use LogMeIn. This is mostly because of log data that we are pushing tools and logs in general."
"The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues."
"The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature; it's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs, and we can see status really clearly and very fast with just a couple of clicks."
"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."
"Logz.io has impacted our organization very positively."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"Easy to use and spend less time on setups/troubleshooting."
"My advice to others is this is an easy-to-use solution and they should try it out."
"We get way more out of it than we did with SecureWorks and we pay about a third of the price."
"The machine learning algorithms in Rapid7 InsightIDR for threat detection work quite effectively as part of the user entity behavior analytic model, allowing us to focus group normal typical behavior of users and then turn on the rule to spot any unexpected behavior."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"I use it as a security incident and event management system, and it has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"The log aggregation and research capabilities are definitely what pays for itself."
 

Cons

"When it comes to reducing our troubleshooting time, it depends. When there are no bugs in Logz.io, it reduces troubleshooting by 5 to 10 percent. When there are bugs, it increases our troubleshooting time by 200 percent or more."
"I would like them to improve how they manage releases. Some of our integrations integrate specifically with set versions. Logz.io occasionally releases an update that might break that integration. On one occasion, we found out a little bit too late, then we had to roll it back."
"The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring."
"The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API."
"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."
"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."
"The solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well."
"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two, but they do have a lot of good alerting stuff in there already."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"There were some difficulties in product setup, but after those issues were resolved, there were no issues."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"The searching capability, or when you ask real time questions, is pretty decent but it's still not up to par with, say, Splunk."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a little expensive."
"At the time it was set up, we thought Logz.io was very reasonable for what we were getting in terms of how much time and hosting costs it was saving us, because you don't have to run the servers for it anymore."
"The tool is an open source product."
"The product's pricing is cheaper than other solutions."
"You pay for what you need, and that is a good model. They are also quite happy to talk to you about your uses and your use case. They will even go as far as suggesting things that you don't need to do in order to save you money. At one point, I was quite surprised at how cheap it could be if we wanted it to be or how much they would help us manage our costs."
"The product is cheap."
