Featured Reviews

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.
Adelina Craciun - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization enables tailored monitoring and alerting across departments
The possibility to customize it has been quite useful. Whatever the other departments want to dream up, we implement. Whatever they want to monitor, the granularity of it, the changes in the threshold, and the anomalies that they want reported all require some development. So far, every single request has been fulfilled.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."
"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"Elastic provides built-in features for queries and report generation. It's a very good tool for monitoring integration capabilities."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"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."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"I am familiar with Azure Monitor, which I find more user-friendly compared to Elastic, which is a very technical tool."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"One example is the inability to monitor very old databases with the newest version."
"When opening tickets, we cannot use our team mailbox."
"It lacked some capabilities when handling on-prem devices, like network observability, package flow analysis, and device performance data on the infrastructure side."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"We will buy a premium license after POC."
"The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."
"Pricing is one of those situations where the more you use it, the more you pay."
"We have been using the open-source version."
"Since we are a huge company, Elastic Observability is an affordable solution for us."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"Users have to pay for some features, like the alerts on different channels, because they are unavailable in different source versions."
"There are two types: cloud and SaaS. They charge based on data ingestion, ingest rate, hard retention, and warm retention. I believe it costs around $25,000 annually to ingest 30GB of data daily. That is the SaaS version. There is also a self-managed license where the customer manages their own infrastructure on-prem. In such cases, there are three license tiers that respectively cost $5,000 annually per node, $7,000 per node, and $12,500 per node."
