Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is straightforward.""The solution offers very good convenience filtering.""Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams.""The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces.""The solution is easy to use and to start with.""A non-tech person can easily get used to it."

"The support is good and active. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.""The gateway is the most valuable aspect of this solution.""What's best about IBM API Connect is the excellent administration. The development tool that builds the API is also very simple, and user-friendly, and it doesn't consume too much time. Another valuable feature in IBM API Connect is its good reporting feature, particularly for operations, but the most valuable feature of the solution for the customer is security. IBM API Connect provides a DMZ and a security gateway between the external and internal environment, so you can publish your API safely. IBM API Connect can also integrate with any tool or middleware that works on open standards without the need for development or coding, so integration with the solution is easier.""Publishers can easily identify, create, and publish APIs on the developer portal, defining plans, packages, and potentially billing rules.""The developer portal has been the most useful feature.""The statistics component is easy to use.""It acts as a central gateway for both external APIs and underlying systems. It's basically a central middleware for hosting APIs to the internet and consuming APIs from internal systems. It provides central governance for any APIs going outside the network, ensuring security and a common contract for API definitions.""It is a complete all-in-one solution."

Cons
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription.""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.""The documentation of the tool could be improved""From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers.""The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."

More Coralogix Cons →

"Debugging could be improved.""It is expensive within this class of products.""Possible improvement is mainly around having more of the cloud oriented architecture bringing stability in adding new capabilities around security.""In the next version, I don't know if they've already been included it or not, but the designer and all the tools should be on the cloud. I don't want any external installation or local installation.""Our main pain points are in these two areas: creating a better developer portal and improving stability in terms of synchronization and monetization.""The solution could improve security and performance.""The integration of an API gateway that implements the sidecar pattern, which can be deployed in cloud applications, and expose the microservices directly in each pod, this can be more decentralized components.""I would like to see support for non-Java based services. We struggle a bit to be able to deploy and connect our .NET services because of things like data types. We had to map a couple of things. For one solution provider, we had to move them to .NET Core before we could use it properly. I would like to see more agnostic tool service platforms rather than moving it more towards Java or open source."
