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

"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"In my opinion, the best feature of Coralogix is that it's convenient to look at errors."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"In my experience, the best feature Coralogix offers is that the dashboard is pretty good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by handling the responsibility for the developers to track their services and see what is actually going on there in terms of logs of their services, whether it is info, debug, error, or warnings."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."
"What I really like is that even if you have already collected the data, you can extract fields and can build searches."
"The ability to identify risks as they come in is quite good."
"Splunk Enterprise Security quickly gives us a view of an endpoint or a user or identity. If I want to look for an identity or an asset, I just quickly go into Splunk Enterprise Security. I know where to go and get a quick analysis for a respective object."
"It provides a great range of plugins and one can really take great advantage of utilising inbuilt dashboards to derive the desired monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very good for log aggregation."
"There are quite a lot of things that we find useful. Splunk agents are useful and good. Its UI is quite impressive."

Cons

"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"In terms of documentation, I think there can be more user-friendly documentation that stresses more on day-to-day issues."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"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."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"I see room for improvement in Coralogix regarding the cost, as they can reduce the costs for the license."
"As a relatively new product, there are some rough edges yet and your mileage may vary."
"We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
"If possible, we would like to have not only a log monitoring system but a network monitoring feature in this solution as well."
"The tool should include more real-world use case examples built out either through videos or in the community."
"Configuring a few apps is complex, not straightforward."
"Deployment is not difficult but the lock sources and configurations can take time."
"Its reporting can be improved. That's the only complaint I have heard. I don't need the reporting part, but I know that other people in the organization need it."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved with more ease of configuration. It is pretty straightforward to get it started, however, to really check if my data is all available and how to activate the right use case and the right correlations is still sometimes a hassle."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved mainly regarding the UI, which can be daunting at first for newer employees."
 

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."
"It can be expensive, especially the licensing costs. However, there is added value in what it can do, not just log aggregation."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
"The pricing is very complicated, and it is very pricey. You do require a lot of different licenses in order to get a comprehensive solution that is not just the SIEM solution."
"Further reductions would be fantastic, and I believe that more and more people would flock to it."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not at all cost-friendly to be deployed in very small enterprises like start-ups."
"While licensing can be a concern, there are ways to reduce the licensing costs including filtering some events."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is an expensive solution."
"The pricing and licensing of the product are quite high."
