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.
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

"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"After implementing Coralogix, I noticed specific outcomes and improvements; whenever we try to fetch the data or check the monitoring logs, the spikes, the bars, and the graphs open very quickly, the latency is really very low, and it opens everything very fast, which makes a good impact on our organization."
"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"The solution's most valuable features are anomaly detection and connectivity reporting."
"The most valuable feature for me is Discover."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"Documentation is very good, so implementation is fine."
"Elastic SIEM is pretty stable."
"It's quite stable; we have not seen it going down at all for the last three years and it's working well consistently."
"It's open-source and free to use."
 

Cons

"Coralogix's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way."
"In terms of documentation, I think there can be more user-friendly documentation that stresses more on day-to-day issues."
"As a relatively new product, there are some rough edges yet and your mileage may vary."
"The main pain issue for me with Coralogix was that the syntax was a little tricky."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."
"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."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"I would say that right now the Linux feature set is a little limited."
"We find that solutions such as Dynatrace and Datadog offer much more functionality, perhaps due to the fact that they are more mature."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"Because of the notification issue we moved to Logentries, as it provides a simple way to get notification whenever a server encounters an error or something unexpected happens (which we have defined using Regex)."
"Improvements in Elastic Security could include refining and normalizing queries to make them more user-friendly, enhancing the user experience with better documentation, and addressing any latency issues."
 

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."
"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."
"I can say that the product is cheaply priced."
"Affordable but with additional costs"
"The price is reasonable. It probably costs the same as ArcSight and LogRhythm SIEM. FortiSIEM might cost less than Elastic Security. There are no hidden or additional costs."
"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 product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"Elastic Security is free to use."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."
