Whenever I present syslog-ng at a conference or I stand next to a booth, people often ask me why should they use syslog-ng instead of one of its competitors. So let me summarize what the users and developers of syslog-ng typically consider as its most important values.

Documentation

Yes, I know, this is not syslog-ng itself. However, talking to some of our most active and loyal users, one common feedback was that they had chosen syslog-ng because of the quality of its documentation. Syslog-ng have always had very detailed and (usually) up-to-date documentation. Unfortunately though, there has been a period when our documentation has fallen victim of resource shortages for a while. However, as soon as these resource shortages have been taken care of, bringing our documentation up to pace has been at the top of our list.
