I'd have to agree.. Although it is great for Syslog farms, it does have a
couple of drawbacks... reporting is a little light and not all platforms are
covered (yet). I have several clients using it in fairly large enterprises.

Focus on what kind of info you need out of the product and make sure that
your platform is covered.

Get Kiwi Syslog (either free or the very low cost version, I recommend
the latter, at only about US$70.00 )

http://kiwisyslog.com

and

BacklogNT (free, and *very* cool)

http://www.intersectalliance.com/projects/BackLogNT/index.html

That's all you need.
