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.
Laurentiu Popescu - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved threat detection with deep log analysis and streamlined investigation workflows
The most useful features I find in Elastic Security are the forensic ones that allow us to carry deeper analysis into the logs for in-depth investigations, and the dashboards, with the reporting dashboard being quite user-friendly. Elastic Security is quite good at identifying threats, as it is part of the deep investigation tool that I mentioned before. Unless we need to look further into a certain log, we can carry out a deeper analysis and forensics on those particular logs. I can assess the impact of Elastic Security's real-time data analysis on our threat response efficiency as working pretty good. We are looking for real-time analysis because we have a continuous inflow of logs from different sources: from our cloud, from Active Directory, from our network. So it works pretty well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"It's open-source and free to use."
"The most valuable feature for me is Discover."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"The scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment."
"I can look at events from more than one source across multiple different locations and find patterns or anomalies. The machine learning capabilities are helpful, and I can create rules for notifications to be more proactive rather than responding after something has gone wrong."
"The most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"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."
"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."
"Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them."
"The solution's basic setup takes time, and a lot of effort is required from the beginning to make it actually work."
"The solution's query building is not that intuitive compared to other solutions."
"An area for improvement in Elastic Security is the pricing. It could be better. Right now, when you increase the volume of logs to be collected, the price also increases a lot."
"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."
"Elastic Security's maintenance is hard and its scalability is a challenge. There are complications in scaling and upgrading. The solution needs to also provide periodic upgrade checks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"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 licensing cost of Elastic Security is based on the daily ingestion rate. I can't recall the exact figure, but for 10GB of log action daily, it would cost around $20,000."
"The solution is not expensive and costs around ten dollars a month."
"It is easy to deploy, easy to use, and you get everything you need to become operational with it, and have nothing further to pay unless you want the OLED plugin."
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"Affordable but with additional costs"
"Compared to other products such as Dynatrace, this is one of the cheaper options."
"When compared to other products, the price is average or on the low side."
"The solution is free."
