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

"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."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"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."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"It's been absolutely brilliant, I would say."
"In my opinion, the best feature of Coralogix is that it's convenient to look at errors."
"I have worked on multiple logging systems, and I would say Coralogix was the best among those."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"When using this solution for Security Information Management (SIM), I highly recommend importing data sources from the whole cycle for the service security chain."
"The search engine and indexes are fast and optimized, and the report generation dashboard is user-friendly."
"It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find; it collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end."
"It's better than IBM, in my opinion, because it's an independent entity."
"Splunk Enterprise Security helped us with faster detection of threats."
"The features I appreciate the most in Splunk Enterprise Security are the scheduled alerts and the search function."
"Deployment server for deploying changes in one go."
"An example of how these features benefited my organization is that the mean time to detect compromised accounts from the time that we're able to detect that account and then launch some automation to actually disable the account and work with the end user to fix the issue has gone from taking a couple of days to literally taking two to three minutes."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"Coralogix can be improved by having better documentation to help new people onboard into this platform and understand the systems, including how they can integrate their cloud provider to better understand how Coralogix and the cloud provider work in sync."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"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."
"Coralogix's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"The amount of time it takes to troubleshoot not-easily-available data, and hours on the phone with VMware techs, have become an issue."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
"Splunk Enterprise Security could be improved in the dashboards that provide KPIs about environmental behavior."
"One issue is that we are getting a lot of false positives. We are trying to reduce them by customizing the default rules, changing thresholds, and using white-listing and black-listing. It's getting better and better as a result. But they need to build components that would reduce the false positives."
"Splunk is very complex. The implementation and the scanning of the logs can be difficult."
"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."
". Having a trial version or more training on Splunk would be helpful."
"Data retention can be better. If we want to look at the data for five months or six months, that is not available to us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"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 pricing can be better. We are already considering Elastic because Splunk is too expensive. You have to pay based on per-day ingestion. There should be a more flexible model for the use cases where one day you have a huge amount, and on other days, it is quite less."
"It is pretty straightforward and based on the sizing. If I compare it with other competitors, it makes sense."
"The pricing could be made more competitive."
"It can be cost-prohibitive when you start to scale and have terabytes of data. Its cost model is based on how much data it processes a day. If they're able to create scaled-down niche or custom package offerings, it may help with the cost. Instead of the full-blown features, if they can narrow the scope where it can only be used for a specific purpose, it would kind of create that market for the product, and it may help with the costing. When you start using it as a central aggregator and you're pumping tons of logs at it, pretty soon, you'll start hitting your cap on what it can process a day. Once you've got that, you're kind of defeating the purpose because you're going to have to scale back."
"Splunk licensing model might seem expensive but with all the gain in functionalities you will have compared to traditional SIEM solutions I think it’s worth the price."
"Splunk can be an expensive solution. It all depends on how we configure the alerts and the events from the endpoints. You can save some money if you do that correctly. If not, it becomes an expensive solution."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is priced lower than competitors."
"I think we recently switched to the SVC pricing compared to the ingest pricing."
