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.

Unified dashboards have empowered teams and have democratized real-time operational insights
Grafana's snapshot and dashboard sharing features are critical for our remote incident response. During production issues, I generate a public snapshot of a dashboard at a specific point and share the URL in our Slack war room so every engineer can see exactly what the metrics looked like when the error occurred. This helps significantly during the process of finding the root cause in those scenarios. The best features Grafana offers go beyond just pretty charts; it is an integration engine. The fact that I can join data from my SQL database with metrics from Prometheus in the same table is a feature I have not found performed as well elsewhere. My team uses this feature by comparing two different tables from the databases to show one single view, which Grafana is really helping with. In a visualized way, the charts can be displayed on one dashboard, allowing end users who are not familiar with these technical aspects to extract valuable data from it. Grafana has positively impacted our organization by democratizing data within our company. Before using Grafana, only developers could see the system health, but now our product managers and executives have their own high-level dashboards, which has improved cross-departmental transparency and alignment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"Coralogix saves us the need to actively tune and dig deep into our logs, which is something we have to do with other log management solutions, and is a genuine time saver due to its smart capabilities."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."
"In my opinion, the best feature of Coralogix is that it's convenient to look at errors."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"The solution has improved our organization by providing a centralized way to instantly see our business, technical, and service metrics."
"Visualisation: It is easy to create beautiful, understanding graphs, snapshots to share the graphs with people who do not have access to Grafana, and templating to create powerful graphs."
"Grafana's best features are live monitoring and alerts."
"What I found most valuable in Grafana is that it has a lot of integrations and features that I need for data processing and visualization."
"It provides a graphical representation and it's clear to see what's happening."
"The installation process is easy. We have deployed it on the cloud. I have around 20 to 30 people using the solution in my company."
"Kubernetes could help us to better visualize the trend of our data by recording and displaying our history over a chosen duration, such as the last 30 days."
"The solution has good features."
 

Cons

"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"In terms of documentation, I think there can be more user-friendly documentation that stresses more on day-to-day issues."
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."
"I think Coralogix can be improved by setting up some AI type of tool inside it which can help new users."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"The look and feel of the charting and graph capabilities in Grafana could improve. If they provided a storyboard type of feature as they have in other solutions, such as PowerBI. The multi-tenanted and stitch metrics features could improve."
"Writing queries can be a bit difficult because the syntax must be maintained."
"Multiple dashboards combined into one dashboard has slowed things down for us."
"All the features are complicated."
"It would be helpful if Grafana provided more information and training on how to use Prometheus."
"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."
"It's difficult to see the trends on the graph when the range is too long."
"Its interface could be more accessible."
