Naveenkumar Lakshman - PeerSpot reviewer
Presales Engineer at Crayon AS
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.

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

"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"Elastic Security helps improve the security posture of Pakistan through centralized visibility and real-time processing."
"The tool's functionality is good for overall security and incident response times."
"Elastic Security offers advanced features such as machine learning and integration with ChatGPT."
"The solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability. We are in Indonesia, more engineers understand Elastic Security here. So it is easier to scale and also develop. In features, the discovery to query all the logs is very important to us. It is very easy, especially with the query function and the feature to generate alerts and create tools. Sometimes we use the alert security dashboard to monitor our clients."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
 

Cons

"Coralogix's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"In terms of documentation, I think there can be more user-friendly documentation that stresses more on day-to-day issues."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"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 could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"Elastic has one problem. In the past, Elastic Security was free. Now, they currently only offer the basic license or a certain period of time."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"If you compare this with CrowdStrike or Carbon Black, they can improve."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"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 is in the middle. I think it is not an expensive experience if we compare it with big names, for example, QRadar, and also Oxide. I think Elastic Security is quite cheap. I would rate the pricing of this solution a five out of ten."
"Compared to other products such as Dynatrace, this is one of the cheaper options."
"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."
"When compared to other products, the price is average or on the low side."
"We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."
"The solution is free."
"The base product is open-source but if you need advanced security features then you need to pay for the subscription. Elastic Security's price is reasonable in some cases and in other cases it's not."
"This is an open-source product, so there are no costs."
