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.

Performance Test Engineer at TANIM CONSULTING, LLC
Real-time monitoring has improved our banking API performance and supports detailed business transaction analysis
The real-time monitoring is what we can see for anything that is needed in terms of CPU, memory, or the connections or the sessions related. It's real-time monitoring of performance of each of the components, which is what we need and use all the time. It's highly effective, I would say. Infrastructure visibility, transaction monitoring, to check the actual user experience in terms of the response time, MRT and all those things. We do the component monitoring like the API performance and the connections and all those things, but we also do the business process monitoring and business transaction monitoring.

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 overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"After implementing Coralogix, I noticed specific outcomes and improvements; whenever we try to fetch the data or check the monitoring logs, the spikes, the bars, and the graphs open very quickly, the latency is really very low, and it opens everything very fast, which makes a good impact on our organization."
"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"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."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"It’s great that APM monitors in real-time, and when we have an issue, we find out fairly quickly if there's a problem with our hardware."
"This practice has transitioned our testers to engineers."
"Setting up the monitoring agents was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is Proactive Monitoring and Alerting."
"Splunk AppDynamics tells us what the top 10 queries are which are actually contributing to the load on the database, and it gives us the view of what exactly the query does, whether it uses more DB CPU or is contributing to the roll-up contention on the database."
"We were looking at other vendors as well, but the APM dashboard is simple, it was very easy to configure, it was all SaaS based, and support was really good."
"I haven't seen any other vendor even come close to AppDynamics’ support."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage in the following: Conversion rates Average revenue per user Customer acquisition costs Rate of customer churn Recurring or incremental revenue Renewals and/or subscriptions."
 

Cons

"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."
"In terms of documentation, I think there can be more user-friendly documentation that stresses more on day-to-day issues."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"As a relatively new product, there are some rough edges yet and your mileage may vary."
"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."
"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 solution needs to support IBM products."
"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
"They need to improve the consolidation of agents for the agent's installation process."
"The biggest complaint that we have at this point is the ability to exclude certain time frames from the dynamic baselining."
"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"The integration part in AppDynamics with other systems is an area with a little difficulty, especially when it comes to the configuration area. The integration of AppDynamics with other products takes a lot of time."
 

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."
"Take into consideration what you get for specific pricing models and how much it costs to add on things you may need later.​"
"The pricing of the solution is reasonable for what features you receive."
"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."
"I would like more flexible pricing: A pay-per-use model, rather than just a fixed-price model."
"AppDynamics does not usually do monthly payments. They do it on an annual basis, at the very least."
"We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."
"For those who appreciate the value and had issues with the visibility of the performance of their applications, then the pricing is good. For somebody who does not need it, it can be pricey, but overall, it is worth the money which it costs."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
