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.

Application performance management and error resolution improved with data-driven insights

Dynatrace has multiple functions compared to Splunk AppDynamics, so Splunk AppDynamics should add those functions, which are not available as of now. Dynatrace has a universal agent that collects all information related to their CI, and if one CI has multiple languages, then there is no need to instrument multiple agents. However, Splunk AppDynamics requires multiple agents; if I have one server with multiple applications in different languages, then I need to instrument different agents for each application. Splunk AppDynamics should work with Dynatrace with one single universal agent that works with all application languages, eliminating the need for multiple implementations.

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."

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

"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."

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

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

"The solution is easy to use and to start with."

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

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

More Coralogix pros

"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."

"What I like the most about Splunk AppDynamics is the end-to-end observability for the application, along with traces."

"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."

"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."

"Users can configure business sections in their environment, and it's possible for customers to configure different sources for the name of the class, the name of the method, or the name of the web service, which is very interesting."

"The AppDyniamics technical support is good. We haven't had any problems with them. They answer very quickly."

"The event alerting feature or the trigger system is what I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Whenever an issue occurs, the tool automatically generates an even trigger that tells engineers in the company to take action, so it's an essential feature of AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Another valuable feature of the tool is end-to-end monitoring, which means if you need to debug, you can go transaction by transaction, where the issue lies, and how it's linked. For example, if it's a low-performance issue, you can look into it more through AppDynamics Server Monitoring in terms of which area takes too much time to execute. You can also see the SQL queries and the kind of query going on through the tool."

"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."

More Splunk AppDynamics pros

Cons

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

"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."

"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."

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

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

More Coralogix cons

"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."

"I don't really use AI-powered anomaly detection and root cause analysis for diagnosing performance issues because it makes many mistakes in my case, due to the nature of my work."

"The end-user experience is not really good because we can't catch all of the transactions. We only can catch the full stack of flow transactions, but I think that this is caused by the technology they use. If they will catch every transaction, it will cause a very big load on the performance of applications. The monitoring of all transactions needs improvement."

"There could log management features included in the product."

"The solution's pricing could be improved and made more competitive."

"The solution's user interface should be improved."

"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."

"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."

More Splunk AppDynamics cons

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."

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

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

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

"AppDynamics Database Monitoring is expensive. I rate it a seven to eight out of ten."

"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is an expensive solution."

"It does require licensing to be paid."

"It is a more expensive APM among the competitors, which is fine because it also does a lot more on the auto-detection and the AI side... It is not a cheap product. None of them are. The price is fair, but I could use it on more projects if they had a lower price."

"The license for AppDynamics is procured by our customers."

"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."

"The pricing needs to come down."

"As a technical person, and as an application development team, they all understand that this is the right tool for us. But when it comes to budget and financial matters, it takes days and weeks to convince upper management to buy this tool. So they should do something more on licensing costs."
