Provides real-time alerts and has efficient features for incident management
We have integrated Coralogix with Slack and other tools, which has helped us receive real-time alerts. We don't have to constantly monitor the tool because it generates alerts and pushes them to us, providing notifications on Slack. This enhancement has strengthened our security, fulfilling our need when searching for such a tool. Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams. This SaaS platform utilizes machine learning for behavioral analysis of logs, yielding the results we need. For instance, there was a scenario where we received extension logs that were difficult to interpret. However, we obtained the analysis with the help of the product.

Consolidates all our logs into a single place, making it easier to find errors
One issue I do have with logs is the length of time they are on the platform. Some issues happen sporadically, so it would be good to have logs for longer than one month by default or make it a configuration. I have yet to try rehydrating logs, so this might be an option I need to try. Another issue I have is with the search syntax, it could be simpler. The syntax is a bit cumbersome and there is not an intuitive to save them to look for similar searches in the future. Finally, while my company replaced a different tool for session replay with DataDog's version, I find it clunky and in need of further improvements. For example, when troubleshooting a web portal issue, it is super important to know what the user clicked, but the elements are not where they should be in the replay. It is also hard to find details about the sessions, and metadata such as user email, account, etc. that exist on other services with replay features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"Its integration definitely stands out. It provides seamless monitoring of all our systems, services, apps, and whatever else we secure and monitor. Visualizations have become simpler with dashboards. We are getting visibility into systems, services, and apps stack through a single pane of glass, which is good. We are able to put logs in context."
"The most valuable aspect is the APM which can monitor the metrics and latencies."
"It has a high-level insight into the infrastructure model of the application and provides important detailed data on the host and metrics, which is the main concern of our customers."
"It is a good one stop location where we keep all our data for our infrastructure, and it's also easier to navigate between different things."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the elastic container service."
"They have a very good foundation in capturing metrics, logs, and traces. It's a very nice tool for that and it allows you to apply these monitoring tools in almost any technology."
"It helps us better manage our logs."
"The ease with which we can filter, use metrics, and give accounts to customers, then let the customer filter, set up metrics, and alerts. This has been a big win for us."
 

Cons

"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"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."
"I find the training great. That said, it is set for the LCD (lowest common denominator). Of course, this is very helpful to sell the product, yet, to really utilize the product, you need to get more detailed."
"We need more integration with security tools like Drata."
"The logging could be improved in the future."
"It can have an artificial intelligence component. Even though I can seamlessly look at end-to-end security, it would be better to have alerts and notifications powered by an AI engine. I am not sure if they have an AI component. We have not reached out to them or looked at it, but this is something that I keep on talking about within our company in terms of features. Such a feature would be good to have, and it would further optimize my Security Ops team's abilities."
"They should continue expanding and integrating with more third-party apps."
"I would love to see more metrics or analytics in IoT devices."
"We need more integration functionality, including certain metrics integration."
"The ability to find what you are looking for when starting out could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"This solution is budget friendly."
"The solution's pricing depends on project volume."
"Sometimes it's very hard to project how much it will cost for the monthly subscription for the next month when you add certain features. Having better visibility of the cost would give a better experience."
"It is easy to run up a large bill, so become familiar with the cost of each piece of your bill and use the metrics they supply to estimate and monitor your bill."
"Pricing seemed easy until the bill came in and some things were not accounted for."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable for what they give you. You get the first five hosts free, which is fun to play around with. Then it's about four dollars a month per host, which is very affordable for what you get out of it. We have a lot of hosts that we put a lot of custom metrics into, and every host gives you an allowance for the number of custom metrics."
"​Pricing seems reasonable. It depends on the size of your organization, the size of your infrastructure, and what portion of your overall business costs go toward infrastructure."
"The price is better than some competing products."
