I have to agree with Acy Forsythe. I think one of the large problems with log and event management systems is unrealistic expectations and/or bad project management. To quote Stephen Covey "you need to begin with the end in mind". Basic project management means creating a project scope with reasonable expectations and goals. Then select a log and event management system that can meet those goals; once they are met the project is complete and successful. As requirements in the future change you can make the necessary changes to the system to meet those needs. Like any system a log and event management system will require some care and feeding and that should be expected but that isn't the same as a project that is never completed.
