• commercial solution get very expensive very quickly
If you can narrow down how much logs you want to keep, then the commercial solutions are amazing, but as you need (or think you need) to keep them longer and longer, they become prohibitevely expensive.
The next time I have to tackle this issue, specifically keeping the log forever, I will give the hadoop stores (HBase, Impala etc...) a try. Hadoop solutions work really well for very large set of write-once only data, which is what logs are.
