We were looking for an inexpensive Syslog Server that we could send the syslogs from our Network equipment too. After much investigation, we came across the KiWi Syslog software, which was inexpensive and still provided us the comprehensive ability to get the Syslogs that we needed to one location.
- What was life like before using SolarWinds? (Include what you were using and why you decided it was time for a change) We did not have a central location for Syslogs from the Network equipment, so we would have to go to each device to look through the logs, which would take weeks.
- Which SolarWinds product(s) saved your bacon? KiWi Syslog Server
- Did you consider other options, and why did you choose SolarWinds? We looked at other options, but they were too expensive and then there was products that were an overkill with functionality. We wanted something simple, yet robust.
- How has life been since you've rolled out SolarWinds in your environment? Since purchasing the KiWi Syslog Server, we are now able to get the right amount of logs that we needed, without the overkill of capabilities. KiWi Syslog was able to give us all the functionality that we wanted with alert capabilities, Search, and filtering, plus a web interface.
