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.

Pros

"​I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond​."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"Log Insight seems to be better than other solutions in terms of very good integrations and working out items to be able to log."
"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log, and it can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"I believe it is a very useful solution if you have a large environment and C4 vCenter, or if you have thousands of virtual machines in your environment."
"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."
"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."
"VMware is a leader in terms of virtualization, and the advantage of VMware is that their products are pretty much stable."
 

Cons

"​It needs to have better reporting. ​"
"​It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. ​"
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"Technical support should be improved."
"The response time and quality need improvement. It takes too long to prove a problem and get a solution."
"VMware Aria Operations for Logs is not a cost-effective tool. Additionally, it is expensive, especially given the current economic conditions in Turkey."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"vRealize Log Insight has very limited integration and is primarily designed for VMware environments."
"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."
"The tool could benefit from improved filter settings and dashboarding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Do a PoC. Make it detailed so it can help later."
"I think it is a reasonably priced product."
"It is not cheap. But it is worth it."
"I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."
"Pricing could always be lower. If it were free, I would be more satisfied."
"The product's price is reasonable, but when it comes to SQL licensing, it's a bit expensive."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The pricing has been updated recently."
"The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."
