Good capabilities, has a helpful interface and is straightforward to set up
We have asked for a couple of features from the company already. What typically happens is a lot of people - and developers are one of the biggest consumers of this product - go to this product to optimize their investigation process and specific configurations. That increases our data flow at times, so the cost changes. And a lot of changes happen due to that. 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.

Captures data from all other sources and becomes a MOM aka monitoring of monitors
Scalability and ROI are the areas they have to improve. Their license terms are based on the number of cores. If you increase the number of cores, it becomes very difficult to manage at a large scale. For example, if I have a $3 million project, I won't sell it because if we're dealing with a 10 TB or 50 TB system, there are a lot of systems and applications to monitor, and I have to make an MOM (Mean of Max) for everything. This is because of the cost impact. Also, when you have horizontal scaling, it's like a multi-story building with only one elevator. You have to run around, and it's not efficient. Even the smallest task becomes difficult. That's the problem with horizontal scaling. They need to improve this because if they increase the cores and adjust the licensing accordingly, it would make more sense.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."
"Elastic Search is very quick when handling a large volume of data."
"The flexibility and the support for diverse languages that it provides for searching the database are most valuable. We can use different languages to query the database."
"Using real-time search functionality to support operational decisions has been helpful."
"The most valuable features are its user-friendly interface and seamless navigation."
"The UI is very nice, and performance wise it's quite good too."
"The most valuable features are the ease and speed of the setup."
"I value the feature that allows me to share the dashboards to different people with different levels of access."
"The solution is valuable for log analytics."
 

Cons

"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"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."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"It was not possible to use authentication three years back. You needed to buy the product's services for authentication."
"There are challenges with performance management and scalability."
"This product could be improved with additional security, and the addition of support for machine learning devices."
"Performance improvement could come from skipping background refresh on search idle shards (which is already being addressed in the upcoming seventh version)."
"We see the need for some improvements with Elasticsearch. We would like the Elasticsearch package to include training lessons for our staff."
"The price could be better. Kibana has some limitations in terms of the tablet to view event logs. I also have a high volume of data. On the initialization part, if you chose Kibana, you'll have some limitations. Kibana was primarily proposed as a log data reviewer to build applications to the viewer log data using Kibana. Then it became a virtualization tool, but it still has limitations from a developer's point of view."
"Elastic Search should provide better guides for developers."
"The solution has quite a steep learning curve. The usability and general user-friendliness could be improved. However, that is kind of typical with products that have a lot of flexibility, or a lot of capabilities. Sometimes having more choices makes things more complex. It makes it difficult to configure it, though. It's kind of a bitter pill that you have to swallow in the beginning and you really have to get through it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"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."
"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"ELK has been considered as an alternative to Splunk to reduce licensing costs."
"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 using the Community Edition because Elasticsearch's licensing model is not flexible or suitable for us. They ask for an annual subscription. We also got the development consultancy from Elasticsearch for 60 days or something like that, but they were just trying to do the same trick. That's why we didn't purchase it. We are just using the Community Edition."
"We use the free version for some logs, but not extensive use."
"An X-Pack license is more affordable than Splunk."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"Although the ELK Elasticsearch software is open-source, we buy the hardware."
"This product is open-source and can be used free of charge."
