A reliable solution for SSL offloading and to encrypt outside traffic
If you are responsible for monitoring the logs in F5, it isn't very easy. The format is complicated compared to different vendors. For example, Fortinet and Cisco have feasible formats for sending and fetching logs. Suppose I'm monitoring the logs and everything, and when I am retrieving logs from F5, I want to know whether it is regular traffic or any abnormality is happening. The logs itself is not user-friendly. It may not give you a clear way of what's happening. You have to go through different websites and work on it. You have to waste so much time on it.

Distributed tracing has transformed our testing workflows and now uncovers hidden failures fast
The best features Lumigo offers include the live stream architecture and transaction mapping, which helps to automatically generate and update the visual execution topology for every single test transaction. After seeing the exact flow from the edge API through intermediate queues and containerized microservices down to managed storage, it gives our QA engineers instant context. Additionally, I love the request-response payload inspection feature, which captures input and output parameters, request headers, and invocation payload safely. When an automated integration test fails, the exact offending payload is visible right inside the trace, helping to save our QA and engineering teams a lot of time, leading to at least a 48.33% drop in wasted time previously spent finding the root cause. With automation saved, automated root cause correlation has helped to correlate logs, metrics, and trace spans across asynchronous boundaries, which is notoriously difficult to debug in event-driven AI pipelines. The live stream architecture and transaction mapping make such a difference for my team, as it generates updates regularly via visual execution and the topology for every single test transaction, providing us with a view through intermediate queues and microservices to managed storage, giving engineers instant context of transactions and payloads, which saves at least 49% of our time and allows overall resources to be used more effectively. Regarding Lumigo's AI capabilities, I find the governance of security to be really good, and we have seen a positive impact due to the AI capabilities alongside strict compliance regulations such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, proving it is compliant with applicable regulations and policies. Lumigo's accuracy is close to 100%, making it very reliable. Lumigo integrates seamlessly with other AWS services we use, and we have not faced any issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Each had strengths in one area or another, but CA covered the majority of our needs end-to-end."
"From our experience, it really helps managers in measuring application SLAs and viewing historical performance data."
"Lumigo has positively impacted our organization with transformative ROI for our quality engineering and delivery cycles, where the meantime to defect and resolve due to debugging failed end-to-end integration test runs has dropped over 68.3%."
"Any new member, whether from the development side or business team, finds the user-friendly UI easy to understand."
 

Cons

"Pricing makes little sense. We had examples where it would be cheaper to have two basic accounts than one intermediate."
"The RBMS component is limited as you can only record using Internet Explorer."
"I think support needs to be improved."
