Streamlines our processes, and we don't need to configure any VPCs; it's automatic
We don't have many use cases involving ingesting large amounts of data and scaling up and down. We have a clear understanding of our data volume, which remains relatively constant throughout the week. While we're aware of other features Amazon MSK offers, we feel confident in our current setup. If our requirements change significantly in the future, we'll reassess our needs and consider adopting Amazon MSK.
Jorge Florez - PeerSpot reviewer
SaaS platform used by developers to store and conveniently search for logs
If a company has the budget and the log service is critical for them, I would say use Coralogix. It is a very good service for that. I would rate Coralogix an eight out of ten. It is an excellent service for storing logs for a long time. The capacity is unlimited for unindexed logs. The cost model is also very efficient because you pay for the ingested data per month. This can be compared to a solution like New Relic where you have to pay it upfront and cannot limit the data ingestion. Coralogix provides an easy way to search for logs and to visualize them. This a great feature because developers are constantly looking for or browsing logs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It offers good stability."
"It provides installations, scaling, and other functionalities straight out of the box."
"MSK has a private network that's an out-of-box feature."
"Amazon MSK has significantly improved our organization by building seamless integration between systems."
"The solution's technical support was helpful."
"It is a stable product."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon MSK is the integration."
"Amazon MSK's separation of concerns and ease of creating and deploying new features are highly valuable. It just requires to assign them to the topic, and then anyone who needs to consume these messages can do so directly from Amazon MSK. This separation of concerns makes it very convenient, especially for new feature development, as developers can easily access the messages they need without having to deal with complex server communications or protocol setups."
"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
 

Cons

"The configuration seems a little complex and the documentation on the product is not available."
"Horizontal scale-out is actually not easy, making it an area where improvements are required."
"In my opinion, there are areas in Amazon MSK that could be improved, particularly in terms of configuration. Initially setting it up and getting it connected was quite challenging. The naming conventions for policies were updated by AWS, and some were undocumented, leading to confusion with outdated materials. It took us weeks of trial and error before discovering new methods through hidden tutorials and official documentation."
"We need to create connectors in Amazon MSK, but there are no default connectors in AWS for that purpose."
"The cost of using Amazon MSK is high, which is a significant disadvantage, as the increase in cloud costs by 50% to 60% does not justify the savings."
"The cost of using Amazon MSK is high, which is a significant disadvantage, as the increase in cloud costs by 50% to 60% does not justify the savings."
"One of the reasons why we prefer Kafka is because the support is a little bit difficult to manage with Amazon MSK."
"It should be more flexible, integration-wise."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."
"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When you create a complete enterprise-driven architecture that is deployable on an enterprise scale, I would say that the prices of Amazon MSK and Confluent Platform become comparable."
"The price of Amazon MSK is less than some competitor solutions, such as Confluence."
"The platform has better pricing than one of its competitors."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."
"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
