Description

Critical Thinking 7-4: Centralized Device Log Analyzers Use the Internet to research four different centralized device log analyzers. Create a table comparing their benefits, the platforms they support, their advantages and disadvantages, and costs. Which would you recommend? Why? I’d recommend Logentries because it’s free up to 5GB so you have plenty of time to test it out and make sure you like it. It’s pretty easy to use as well.
