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.

Helps us detect cyber threats quickly and integrate multiple feeds effectively
Overall, the product is good, but when it comes to some infrastructure issues, we have to dig into more logs. There is no straightforward indication of an issue. Health check kind of dashboards are not available. More AI would help us, and more optimization, since security products run more queries. The AI module could suggest solutions, optimizing queries or workload balancing. If the product itself advises on running queries during peak times, it would be similar to what ChatGPT currently offers. We see quite a few issues on stability. Even last week, we faced something, and identifying bottlenecks is not easy. We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues. Self-monitoring dashboards could be beneficial. The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side. The primary support team has very limited knowledge to provide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Coralogix has positively impacted our organization by providing us with a clearer data flow, which allows us to analyze data better and find errors easier using the smart logs it offers."
"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Functionality-wise, this product is more mature compared to them, plus there are additional capabilities, for example, I can keep my cost in check, and certain functionality in these terms of cost control is better."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"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."
"Support is great; they are helpful and responsive, and they are the greatest support team that I ever worked with, especially in comparison with AWS support’s premium tier where Coralogix is a few times better than even AWS support."
"The solution's most valuable feature is threat intelligence correlations."
"Capability to expand the functionality through custom code for data inputs, commands, visualization, alerts, and machine learning."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"With Splunk, what was once almost impossible, is now unbelievably fast."
"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I appreciate the most are its flexibility and scalability, as it integrates disparate security solutions, offers many out-of-the-box apps through Splunkbase, enables straightforward customization, and supports efficient detection and alerting processes that improve overall business resilience."
"The graph visualization is the most valuable feature."
"The ability to ingest different log types from many different products in our environment is most valuable."
"The incident review pane is the best part of it because that is where the SOC lives. It is the heartbeat of what the SOC needs to do. You are able to start the investigative process. As you are sitting in the incident review pane, you see the alert, and from that one alert, which is called a notable alert, you can drill in and see all the different specific details that are tied to that."
 

Cons

"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"As a relatively new product, there are some rough edges yet and your mileage may vary."
"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."
"We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. 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"
"Coralogix's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way."
"The only improvement I remember is that the cost aspect is a bit more tedious."
"The main pain issue for me with Coralogix was that the syntax was a little tricky."
"The support and the pricing can be better"
"One main change I would suggest is related to the incident board: when an incident is resolved, it should not appear on the incident board. It's just a rare occurrence that we open up the incident."
"It would be nice if Splunk reduced the cost of training. Their training sessions are way too costly."
"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning)."
"The TERM licensing model is still not very useful. It's not helping us."
"I would like to see ability to master management. In terms of clustering, how it manages clustering needs improvement."
"The user interface is the main area for improvement."
"I find the process for customizing, developing, testing, deploying, and refining detections in Splunk Enterprise Security to be challenging at times. It takes some of our more advanced engineers to be able to work through a lot of those processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"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 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."
"It is expensive. I work for multiple clients. I am working for more than five clients, but most of the clients are switching from Splunk to Sentinel because of the cost. Even though Sentinel is very limited, clients are moving to Sentinel."
"I've heard Splunk is often preferred over other options, but the cost can be prohibitive for smaller organizations."
"Splunk can be expensive, as its licensing is based on the daily data ingestion volume."
"The variables and the flexibility that Splunk provides are helpful, especially in a hybrid and multi-cloud environment."
"It is pretty straightforward and based on the sizing. If I compare it with other competitors, it makes sense."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is competitive."
"Be upfront about your needs and expectations. Splunk is great to work with."
"The price is comparable."
