Bad, bad idea.. Take this with a grain of salt as its just my oppinion,
but they presented their product at SANS 2003 and was very unhappy and
not impressed at all. The only thing I came away from that with was
satisfaction over the free lunch. The product lacks a great deal of
support for third party products (currently only supports 2-3 as I
recall). You will need to hire an XML programmer or learn the language
yourself to write the support agents required for Vigilant to work. The
product seemed to have a great deal of maturity to go through. We kept
asking if they supported the things in their brochure they listed and
mentioned that in small print, it did state that XML agents would need
to be written by the customer for that particular support. It was our
oppinion after seeing all the deficiencies that they launched their
marketing campaign a bit prematurely. Their competition is just too far
ahead. Check out:

eSecurity, Inc (http://www.esecurityinc.com)
And
NetForensics (http://www.netforensics.com)

There are so many commercial solutions out there that offer you far more
for your money, I'd wait much longer for Vigilant to mature.

Anyone here have experience with NetIQ's Vigilant Log Analyzer?

I'm thinking about using this product to centralize audit logs and
report on 
events.  I'd appreciate any feedback from others who have used this
before.
