Recommendations to others considering SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server:

If your environment is bigger one which have thousands of devices (Network/Widnows or any other syslog enabled devices) then Solarwinds Kiwi Syslog Server is a nice a tool for you. It not only handles any amount of syslog messages. It also offers multiple actions that you can take on received syslog messages e.g. Send an Email, Forward Syslog Message, Write syslog in a Log File. But if you are looking for a solution where you want to integrate Syslog Messages with Third Party ITSM tool then you may have to struggle a little bit since you have to find a way of integration via Email or Logfile since there is no Write Syslog Messages in Event table option. So choose wisely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

Big Environments of Clients which depends on Syslog Messages from their end network devices for notifications like BGP Down, Media Gateway lost ISP connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server?

No. of actions that can be performed on Syslog Messages are nice and good in numbers. Some of them are Send Email Message, Forward Syslog Message, Color Coding etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server?

Integration with Orion Platform is not available so this is one of the negative side of this tool. Also Events based on Syslog Messages Rule cannot be integrated with any other ticketing tool, only way is to send email alerts or integrate based on email action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server:

Solarwids Sylog Server is a nice tool if you have heavy Syslog Traffic coming from your infrastructure. Or if you very less Syslog Messages coming to your environment then you can use Orion Platform (NPM) itself. Also it provides you lot of actions that you can take based on the filter criteria. Its good to have Product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are bulk of Syslog Messages that we rely on, it was very difficult to have these syslog messages accommodated in Orion Platform but now we have isolated application for handling the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
