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.

Yashokanth Partkunan

Managed Services Engineer at Loop1 Systems

Has supported client needs efficiently but requires deeper analysis features and faster support

The log analyzing capability of SolarWinds Security Event Manager should go into more depth than the current environment. More modification and enhancements are required on the dashboard side in order to make it closer to optimal performance. From observation and feedback from users, they need more functionality related to monitoring, and in-depth analyzing needs to be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."

"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."

"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."

"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."

"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."

"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."

"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

More Coralogix pros

"The solution helps me to go back in time and search for different events. For example, if you wanted to know who activated an account; you could go back in time and find out."

"We had to integrate with other teams, and the infrastructure deployment didn't take long. The integration involves learning with different teams, networking, and configuring various network devices and servers. Infrastructure deployment only took one or two days."

"This tool is simple to use."

"It supports high availability, which is very helpful."

"SolarWinds' stability is fine. I don't think we've had any software issues."

"The graphical user interface is very user-friendly. SolarWinds is a hybrid solution so you can use it across many platforms."

"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is the analysis and the knowledge about the incidence that we trace."

"User-friendly configuration is key, and the configurations are simple, not complex."

More SolarWinds Security Event Manager pros

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."

"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."

"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."

"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."

"The documentation of the tool could be improved"

"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."

More Coralogix cons

"There is no correlation made between log entries, so no threat information is presented."

"The solution's technical support is okay, but we don't have an SLA, and sometimes the response times are very slow."

"Training for this solution needs to be improved, as new employees are sometimes unfamiliar with the product."

"Under the new system, it is not upgradable the way they say. When you try to do an upgrade, it doesn't really work unless you dump everything and start from scratch. You lose a lot of your nodes. Whenever you set your nodes up and everything else, they don't want to bring those nodes back in, so you have to really go back and restructure all your nodes. I went from version 6.5 to version 6.6 and then to version 6.7. I then went to version 2019, and now it is version 2020. It would be good if we can upgrade without having to delete everything and start from scratch. They can maybe build more KPIs and other things for the dashboard. Some of the other systems already have built-in KPIs. SolarWinds is starting to catch up, but it is not there yet. They can include some of the business or industry standards for tracking the time, that is, the meantime to detect (MTTD) and the meantime to resolve (MTTR). They can also find a way to build a KPI that measures the number of instances of port scans experienced in a week or a month."

"There are no multiple dashboards which would allow you to see information side-by-side."

"The only issue is the pricetag. SolarWinds is a costly solution."

"I would like to have a more customizable dashboard."

"It is a very technical program. They can simplify it so that it isn't so hard to deal with."

More SolarWinds Security Event Manager cons

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."

"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."

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."

"Licensing is on devices, so if you have many, then this may be high."

"The pricing model would benefit from having package deals with other SolarWinds products."

"Licenses can only be purchased in blocks of fifty at a time."

"The tool is available at a good price for customers compared to other solutions in the market. I rate the product's price as an eight out of ten."

"The price of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is reasonable."

"We do a yearly license renewal. For a year, the solution costs roughly $500,000 USD. There are no costs beyond this yearly fee."

"It is in the appropriate mid-range. It is not as expensive as some of the other solutions. It is also not cheap."
