Logz.io vs. Symantec Server Management Suite

It is appropriate for companies that focus on developing extremely simple applications. The great visibility it provides makes it ideal to avoid problems that may affect the entire business or company thanks to the fact that it is capable of emitting dozens of alerts in a short time. Sometimes the search behavior becomes slow and inefficient, which can be uncomfortable.

Symantec is well suited for large enterprise environments (SMP7) and smaller environments (DS6.9).

• Alerting - Logz.io allows you to set up numerous alerts and define the specific conditions to trigger these alerts, such as the number of occurrences over a specific period of time and severity.
• Notifications - The supported integrations with Slack and OpsGenie make it easy to set up alerts to specific groups or users, like those in a particular Slack room or OpsGenie group. This is good to reduce noise and limit initial notifications to those who really need to get it.

• The SMP solution is a beast. Each piece is complicated in itself let alone how everything ties together!
• There is plenty of documentation online on how to perform a specific task, but you need to pay attention to what VERSION the article is written for. I've been halfway through implementing something only to hit a roadblock since I'm running a newer version and the option the article says to click on doesn't exist anymore...

Am really exited to use the reports generated especially AWS Cost and Usage Reports function tracks your AWS usage and provides estimated charges associated with your account so that we can reduce the data costs to a greater extend. This integration allows you to ship logs from your AWS Cost and Usage Reports to your Logz.io account.More amazing features awaits you in Logz.io account.

In the past, my team has been able to get in contact with Logz.io quickly and easily to address our questions about the product to see if it could fully meet all our needs. Some of the features we needed at the time were not available, but were on the Logz.io team's roadmap to implement in the future. I found their team to be friendly, professional, and helpful

Implementation of logzio is easy. Exporting the logs with filebeat agent is our main key source.

Graylog and Microsoft System Center lacks infrastructure management and logging, proper analytics is done only on Logz.io. The customer support is also really great for Logz.io, we are really pleased with their support and timely action. The migration was also easy and took us hardly a day to set up and run the solutions.

I have had exposure to SCCM before we moved to Altiris (aka SMP) and SMP does some things in a more complicated way, but there is a LOT of flexibility too. For example, with Patch Management, it's very similar to SCCM, you download the patches you want to install and then publish them. However, with SCCM, you need to have WSUS running on the back end to handle the patch deployment, while SMP does the installs itself. It syncs the patches with the agents and stages the files, and will install them when the maintenance window opens.

• Being able to report on the majority of things you want all from one interface, makes it really easy to get the results you want.
• Because my employer didn't provide training, it took working with support, reading technical documentation, and just playing around on my own to learn how to do certain things.
• I've had a lot of help from the SMP Support staff and they're great people and very helpful!
