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

"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"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."
"I have worked on multiple logging systems, and I would say Coralogix was the best among those."
"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."
"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"The varied prebuilt feature is the most valuable because it ensures that we have complete coverage over all of the key questions."
"The dashboard is amazing. Out-of-the-box dashboard is very good. It is very user-friendly."
"If you are an enterprise and you need the best service for critical business analysis, Splunk would be one of the best choices."
"It allows the centralization of data and makes possible new sorts of correlations that were previously impossible using traditional SIEMs such as ArcSight or QRadar."
"Splunk Enterprise Security scales well with the growing needs of our company."
"If I need to integrate devices for logs, it is easier with Splunk. We can integrate different applications, network devices, and databases. It is also very rich in documents. It is the best."
"The most valuable function is the notable events. When I joined the team, I asked them what they could currently see, and they said nothing. I was pretty shocked. I know for a fact that they're using Enterprise Security or at least they had purchased it. I told them that there are several dashboards within Splunk that we can leverage. There is also notable events where we can see potential incidents or potential alerts about the infrastructure and the network itself."
"I evaluate customer service and technical support as great."
 

Cons

"In terms of documentation, I think there can be more user-friendly documentation that stresses more on day-to-day issues."
"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."
"The only improvement I remember is that the cost aspect is a bit more tedious."
"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."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"Our two main complaints are about the difficulty of the initial setup and the licensing model."
"This is a costly solution."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
"Most of my interaction is with the user community, which is how Splunk wants it. When I need help, that community is very hit or miss."
"We had some connections issues with the solution at the beginning."
"The Web Application Firewall will send you too much information because it's more dedicated to security than a normal firewall."
"Due to its high licensing cost, Splunk is out of reach for many organizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 licensing costs are high for Splunk Enterprise Security."
"The subscription is monthly."
"It is expensive. I used to buy it early on, but then they combined it into a higher-up organization. They buy it for multiple systems now. Last time, I paid around 60K for it. There is just the licensing fee. That's all."
"ROI is estimated at saving my team roughly 10 to 12 man hours per week in troubleshooting for our company as well as what our profits had been from our services of installing, configuring, and supporting other clients with the product."
"We have seen ROI and improvements as we have continued to use the product, but they are more reactive."
"Splunk is not free."
"It can be expensive, especially the licensing costs. However, there is added value in what it can do, not just log aggregation."
"Unlike other security tools, Splunk provides a fixed amount of gigabytes per day, and we are required to pay for any additional usage beyond that limit, in addition to our monthly cost."
