Syslog-ng Reviews
"Syslog-ng best for Large Enterprise Network Infrastructure"
Overall: previously we use the syslog opensource with the stanard log, we have problem with collect windows log, but this syslog-ng has the agent and can send the log to centralized server well, we can centralized all the log from windows server.
Pros: cool features that I like the most its can integrated with another such as BackBox, Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service on AWS, CPTRAX for Windows, HackGuard, SecureLink, Sematext Cloud, strongDM, Swimlane, Telegraf, and Thycotic Cloud Access Controller.
Cons: yes its perfect already for this, its very powerful, i recommend if you have mixed infrastructure.
"Same as SYSLOG but with a commercial support for Compliance "
Overall: We use to had SYSLOG-NG due to the support feature but actually we did not get an extra value over the normal SYSLOG
Pros: It's open source, And it's a commercial supported version of linux/unix syslog something that is a plus for a corporation
Cons: There is not much feature over the normal basic syslog included in your operating system
"Syslog-ng is the best syslog service available"
Overall: Fantastic experience with syspog-ng. I Have been pleasantly surprised with the capabilities.
Pros: Robust with ability to secure log streams. Allows central Collection, routing and filtering for f logs based on facilities and priorities as well a regex as well as other ways.
Cons: It does take a bit of learning to understand the configuration file syntax.
