Centralized monitoring has improved real-time issue tracking and reduced root cause analysis time

One of the best features that Coralogix offers is that it is integration friendly. I can seamlessly work with different cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP. I can monitor Kubernetes or Docker platforms as well, and I can integrate with the DevOps chain including Jenkins and all infrastructure code, Terraform, or Ansible. Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool. I have the interface where I can use the drag-and-drop feature, and I can create different types of charts. Mainly, I have the line charts and time series ones that I generally use in many use cases, gauges, tables, pie charts, or markdown widgets. These are the ones generically available, and I can switch between the visualization types. I am getting the underlying query in that and can import and export dashboards built upon the JSON format. I can have my own APIs integrated with my dashboards as well, such as with Terraform, which is useful for scaling across my environments. Regarding root cause analysis, mainly what I can do is correlate across all of the layers because the main logs that I work on are storage-related, including CIFS, NFS, SAN traffic, and the metrics including storage, throughput, or VM resource usage. Being able to view logs, metrics, or traces available, I get all of these in one place, and I can do root cause analysis much quicker.

Logging and vector search have transformed observability and empowered reliable ai agents

Elastic Search is not specifically being used for certain purposes. I deploy Elastic Search database on the cloud and use cloud services so that nobody can attack. However, I do not use Elastic Search to resolve attack issues. The basic main purpose of Elastic Search, as of now, I feel it can do more in the AI area. Sometime I saw that when I am developing RAG and have to generate the embeddings, which I call metadata, sometimes it tries to fail. That durability or issue handling should be improved, but apart from that, I did not find anything as of now. As per my use case, whatever I am using seems pretty good. Apart from that, some definitely improvement will be there. One improvement is that it should be faster. Whenever I am searching any logs, it takes much time. For example, if I open my log in Notepad or a similar tool, I can search the text within a second. With Elastic Search, it takes a little bit of time, ten to fifteen seconds. That can be improved. Sometimes, engineers take time to assign when I create a ticket.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."

"The solution is easy to use and to start with."

"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."

"Functionality-wise, this product is more mature compared to them, plus there are additional capabilities, for example, I can keep my cost in check, and certain functionality in these terms of cost control is better."

"Support is great; they are helpful and responsive, and they are the greatest support team that I ever worked with, especially in comparison with AWS support’s premium tier where Coralogix is a few times better than even AWS support."

"In my experience, the best feature Coralogix offers is that the dashboard is pretty good."

"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."

"Coralogix has positively impacted our organization by providing us with a clearer data flow, which allows us to analyze data better and find errors easier using the smart logs it offers."

More Coralogix pros

"It's a stable solution and we have not had any issues."

"Elastic Search is the perfect tool for scalability."

"I really like the visualization that you can do within it; that's really handy, and product-wise, it is a very good and stable product."

"I like how it allows us to connect to Kafka and get this data in a document format very easily, and Elasticsearch is very fast when you do text-based searches of documents."

"The ability to aggregate log and machine data into a searchable index reduces time to identify and isolate issues for an application."

"The most valuable feature is the out of the box Kibana."

"It provides deep visibility into your cloud and distributed applications, from microservices to serverless architectures. It quickly identifies and resolves the root causes of issues, like gaining visibility into all the cloud-based and on-prem applications."

"Data indexing of historical data is the most beneficial feature of the product."

More Elastic Search pros

Cons

"We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. 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 think Coralogix can be improved by setting up some AI type of tool inside it which can help new users."

"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."

"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions. The increasing volume of data and the resulting bandwidth charges are concerns."

"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."

"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."

"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."

"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."

More Coralogix cons

"I found an issue with Elasticsearch in terms of aggregation. There is a maximum of 10,000 entries, so the limitation means that if I wanted to analyze certain IP addresses more than 10,000 times, I wouldn't be able to dump or print that information."

"Elastic needs to work on their Machine Learning offering because currently they have been trying to make it a black box which doesn't work for a serious user (a Data Scientist) as it doesn't give any control over the underlying algorithm."

"The real-time search functionality is not operational due to its impact on system resources."

"Its licensing needs to be improved. They don't offer a perpetual license. They want to know how many nodes you will be using, and they ask for an annual subscription. Otherwise, they don't give you permission to use it. Our customers are generally military or police departments or customers without connection to the internet. Therefore, this model is not suitable for us. This subscription-based model is not the best for OEM vendors. Another annoying thing about Elasticsearch is its roadmap. We are developing something, and then they say, "Okay. We have removed that feature in this release," and when we are adapting to that release, they say, "Okay. We have removed that one as well." We don't know what they will remove in the next version. They are not looking for backward compatibility from the customers' perspective. They just remove a feature and say, "Okay. We've removed this one." In terms of new features, it should have an ODBC driver so that you can search and integrate this product with existing BI tools and reporting tools. Currently, you need to go for third parties, such as CData, in order to achieve this. ODBC driver is the most important feature required. Its Community Edition does not have security features. For example, you cannot authenticate with a username and password. It should have security features. They might have put it in the latest release."

"Elasticsearch could improve by honoring Unix environmental variables and not relying only on those provided by Java (e.g. installing plugins over the Unix http proxy)."

"The upgrade experience and inflexibility with fields keeps Elastic Search from being a perfect 10."

"There are challenges with performance management and scalability."

"Both the graph feature and the reporting feature are a little bit lacking. The alerting also needs to be improved."

More Elastic Search cons

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."

"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 pricing and license model are clear: node-based model."

"The cost varies based on factors like usage volume, network load, data storage size, and service utilization. If your usage isn't too extensive, the cost will be lower."

"The pricing structure depends on the scalability steps."

"To access all the features available you require both the open source license and the production license."

"The pricing model is questionable and needs to be addressed because when you would like to have the security they charge per machine."

"The version of Elastic Enterprise Search I am using is open source which is free. The pricing model should improve for the enterprise version because it is very expensive."

"We are paying $1,500 a month to use the solution. If you want to have endpoint protection you need to pay more."

"Elastic Search is open-source, but you need to pay for support, which is expensive."
