Logging has reduced costs and now provides fast queries and dashboards for lambda troubleshooting
Axiom Team excels at querying, with a query language that makes it very easy to assemble queries. The platform also makes it simple to create dashboards from logs. Axiom Team dashboards are used to monitor execution time, pricing, and errors. Axiom Team has positively impacted the organization by greatly reducing logging costs.

Log pipelines have reduced daily data volume and now simplify traffic analysis
Overall, the pipelines and all the features are good with Cribl. The UI is good. Just sometimes, when I actually started using Cribl, I faced the issue where I was not able to connect the nodes. The pipeline is structured in a certain way, then the data will be routed to there, and something of that nature. I was very much confused about their whole products, such as Data Lake and pipelines. It's possible that at that time I didn't take any university courses, which is why I did not know much. But if they can give an intro on how we can connect nodes, or they can provide simple use cases showing what you can do with Cribl, it would help. If you just need to add the source and the destination and pre-build some proper workflow, then it will be easy for new customers to navigate through Cribl.

Pros

"Axiom Team has positively impacted my organization mainly in terms of cost, as we have reduced our logging cost by approximately half."
"Axiom Team has positively impacted the organization by greatly reducing logging costs."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to transform data in real-time within the pipeline without sending it to a destination."
"I'd highly recommend other organizations to use Cribl Search because it did help us a lot with data processing and everything."
"My favorite option in Cribl is the Stream product."
"Cribl's ability to handle high volumes of diverse data types such as logs and metrics is impressive."
"I'd rate the solution ten out of ten."
"Cribl search has affected us greatly, and it has optimized our operations teams' time and efficiency; they're able to troubleshoot and find issues for our customers in a minimal amount of time."
"What I appreciate the most about Cribl is the free training, the free access to all the training, and how easy it is to learn it."
"The feature I appreciate most about Cribl is the interface and how you're able to interact with the data, see the data both live on the ingest side as well as on the side where it goes out to the destination, which is a feature that was lacking in the previous solution I was using."
 

Cons

"Axiom Team can be improved by ingesting logs faster, if possible."
"There is room for improvement in the documentation and knowledge base, particularly regarding configurations like sources where logs are being ingested"
"To develop user skills in Cribl, it needs to improve some certifications, as the ones I have taken are not entirely helpful in the main projects for the clients."
"Some downsides of Cribl include that it was quite a long sales cycle for us, but that was probably partly my fault as well."
"We encountered some issues with the syslog data stream, particularly with handling large databases and extensive data logs."
"Cribl is a very costly product. People nowadays have started considering alternative solutions."
"The sys logging could be enhanced to make it easier to identify errors, especially when dealing with multiple functions."
"Data cost is a concern, as Cribl charges for everything it sees rather than everything it processes."
"The main downside of Cribl is that it is not very beginner-friendly."
