Recommendations to others considering the product:
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.
