User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	The SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server does what it's supposed to do. It's a bare-bones Syslog Server. If your company is just trying to fulfill security requirements or doesn't need all the advanced features of a product such as Splunk, then Kiwi will work well and not break the bank. Using the tool is very straightforward as there aren't a lot of options outside of just viewing logs. Incentivized DC Dennis Chwee Senior Network Engineer Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Collection of SNMP traps a reliable and stable collection server for these is crucial to troubleshooting and time to ROS. Kiwi excels at this. Easy to install set up and train users on. The free version is a good free tool and handy to use for personal labs and other smalle use cases. SNMP traps to user readable format is great, sometimes syslog and smnp messages can be hard to interpret and read with out a knowledge of how to do this.

Cons	No answers on this topic	Minimalistic; If you're looking for something with analysis features look elsewhere. Operating System support is Windows only. Some management features cannot be configured via web interface. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Kiwi Syslog has the best usability of any syslog server. While not being able to offer the most features, the ones it does have are intuitive and easy to work with. Everything that it has is where you think it should be. If you can't find it in the menus, it doesn't exist. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Because the solution is so simple to use and implement, support wasn't very necessary. The one time I did call them to better understand where logs were stored, they were very helpful and friendly. Kiwi has been around for some time and not a lot has changed over the years, so support for it is pretty straightforward and quick.

Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server has made it easier for me to monitor events on all of my network devices and servers.
