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.

Solutions Architect at Airtel

Offering reasonably good dashboarding features but needs to improve the application performance monitoring

My company uses Riverbed for application performance monitoring. I was doing research so that I could understand if SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor provide APM capabilities similar to Riverbed, which allows our company to get a packet capture of an entire session, and on the basis of it, we look at the application performance monitoring part. With SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor, my company does SNMP polling, so it can drag an entire session, but it focuses more on availability, CPU memory, and server connection status. In Riverbed, my company catches an entire system, so when we deal with two applications, we have end-to-end app visibility. All the application monitoring happens through Riverbed. Our company's main problem is that, as of now, we have two different products in our organization, and we don't want to continue with the multiple products currently. I wanted to understand if SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor already have capabilities like Riverbed, and if they do, then I wanted to figure out why our company should not go with SolarWinds and why we are using products from multiple vendors. My company needs to continue with either Riverbed or SolarWinds. I wanted to see which products are good for the organization and how much I want to continue with Riverbed.

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

"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."

"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."

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

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

"The initial setup is straightforward."

More Coralogix pros

"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."

"We manage SolarWinds ourselves without outsourcing its services."

"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is its powerful monitoring capabilities."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its interface, which is used for monitoring."

"The more valuable feature of this solution is the Exchange feature."

More SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor pros

Cons

"The documentation of the tool could be improved"

"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."

"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."

"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."

"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."

"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."

"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."

More Coralogix cons

"The current script monitoring feature has limitations, especially when dealing with custom scripts."

"This product has no real downside unless they fail to continue development of its capabilities."

"In terms of the dashboards on offer, they should work to improve them. The types of dashboards that you get in terms of the graphs on offer aren't ideal right now."

"Some custom applications cannot be monitored, and a lot more applications need to be included."

"I believe that some of the trends, environmental maps, and items like those found in Orion would be very beneficial."

"Support for the IBM Mainframe is needed."

"The setup was complex. We had local support to assist us."

"The templates could use improvement. Currently, they are quite complex. They should have drag-and-drop functionality instead. It would make it easier to use."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."

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

"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"I think SolarWinds' pricing is very decent compared to other competitors in the market."

"Understanding the counts of objects to monitor will determine the licensing need. In terms of pricing, it’s not cheap but it’s not expensive as larger vendors whose products don’t have all the features or integrations."

"We pay around $ 2,000 to $ 5,000 yearly for the solution."

"Nagios XI, WhatsUpGold, Uptime Software, PRTG, Manage Engine, and SpiceWorks are the other tools that have lower pricing and licensing costs. However, they can't compete with SolarWinds when it comes to the features and functionality that SolarWinds can provide."

"I would rate the pricing for this solution a three out of five."

"Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is just the standard price, but it can vary depending on the current rate of the dollar."

"Pricing is inexpensive, starting at 2440 euros. For that, you get the ability to monitor a couple of nodes and one year of maintenance and support."

"I like the pricing for this SolarWinds product."
