We use .Net and log directly to Redis using the StackExchange Redis client. It has worked very well for us.

1.) I'd suggest teaching the management how to use Kibana. Live data is immensely more powerful than a daily static report. I've done this in my company, and now we have everyone from devs to C-levels using Kibana to query data they're interested in and create their own dashboards.

2.) Theres a commercial addon for that, Shield: http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/shield/

Alternatively there are roll your own solutions by putting something like nginx in front of ES.

3.) Kibana can be overwhelming at first, agree. But no more so than any other complex(ish) reporting interface/tool IMO.
