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 the organization by greatly reducing logging costs."
"Axiom Team has positively impacted my organization mainly in terms of cost, as we have reduced our logging cost by approximately half."
"One of the biggest advantages for my organization is better control over log data."
"We reduce cost by using Cribl to control what data we need to be sent over to the SIEM, and we were able to use their functionality, specifically aggregation and also some of the drop functions within Cribl to cut down this noise, send a full copy of the data to S3 or a different data lake, and then send the reduced log over to the SIEM."
"Cribl's interface is user-friendly and easy to learn, making it simple to teach new users how to use it."
"The return on investment with Cribl is huge."
"Cribl is specifically designed to reduce the data costs associated with the destination platform, which is one of its core offerings."
"I think Cribl is an excellent tool for helping to manage data cost and keep it down as well as manage complexity."
"We save around 2.2 TB every day using Cribl by filtering out unwanted logs coming from syslog devices and other networking devices, which saves our license."
"What I appreciate most about Cribl is that it addresses a major gap in the market compared to the competition."
 

Cons

"Axiom Team can be improved by ingesting logs faster, if possible."
"The only area that Cribl should focus on is cost-effectiveness."
"Something that Cribl could do better is processing time. There is not enough customization to improve performance."
"There have been several administrative issues. Another point is that the browsing functions aren't very intuitive."
"One improvement Cribl could work on is Cribl's Git integration."
"Cribl's initial setup is quite complex."
"The main downside of Cribl is that it is not very beginner-friendly."
"The sys logging could be enhanced to make it easier to identify errors, especially when dealing with multiple functions."
"I think Cribl can be improved because I do not believe it is a mature product. It has gone down many times and when we are doing upgrades, many things break and we face a lot of issues, especially with scaling."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
