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.
Julian-Lewis - PeerSpot reviewer
Has provided real-time views and integrated insights across diverse data sources
The most valuable feature is Grafana's ability to plug in data or events and monitoring data from any kind of source. The graphing capability is what I use the most. I have made use of Grafana's customizable dashboards and templating features. These features have enhanced my data visualization and analytical processes by enabling me to give real-time views to our end-users of what they're doing or what their service is doing. The historical and trend data allow people to pull up data from Grafana and from whatever source to display it and examine how an environment is being used. I have employed real-time metric visualization capabilities for monitoring and real-time views. These dashboards can also be used as historical views, pulling out more data. The effectiveness of Grafana in delivering real-time notifications through its alerting system is quite good. The widgets are able to highlight errors if they happen in real-time on the dashboard. The alerting functionality is improving. I generally tend to use the monitoring tool for alerting rather than Grafana, but I have had to use Grafana occasionally without any issues.

Cons

"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."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"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 service dashboard is very hard and needs improvement."

"In assessing Grafana's scalability, we started noticing logs missing or metrics not syncing in time, which indicated a bottleneck that we had to address by updating the infrastructure."

"The solution has room for improvement with a better API to help automate the construction of the dashboards easier."
"There is room for improvement when using multiple dashboards because they can become complicated to keep track of and use."

"My company uses the open-source version of Grafana, so it's free."
"I use the open source model so it is free."
"We use the open-source version of Grafana."
"The solution is expensive."
