Log pipelines have reduced daily data volume and now simplify traffic analysis
Overall, the pipelines and all the features are good with Cribl. The UI is good. Just sometimes, when I actually started using Cribl, I faced the issue where I was not able to connect the nodes. The pipeline is structured in a certain way, then the data will be routed to there, and something of that nature. I was very much confused about their whole products, such as Data Lake and pipelines. It's possible that at that time I didn't take any university courses, which is why I did not know much. But if they can give an intro on how we can connect nodes, or they can provide simple use cases showing what you can do with Cribl, it would help. If you just need to add the source and the destination and pre-build some proper workflow, then it will be easy for new customers to navigate through Cribl.

Provides you with powerful analysis of your network and business infrastructure
There are instances of imitation, like with processors. As customers, we aim to develop this area, particularly focusing on the networking facility and connectivity. The challenge lies in the connection between the DC and MDR, which is quite distant. The link between them needs to be reliable. When direct fiber isn't available, they resort to using dark fiber, which can lead to some limitations. This situation presents another layer of complexity, requiring approximately 11 feet of additional infrastructure. This is essential for ensuring that applications have minimal latency. In the event of any issues, an account is set up for cache memory to ensure that the system remains operational and can recover data from the cache as needed. Additionally, I have a secondary aspect to consider.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cribl search has affected us greatly, and it has optimized our operations teams' time and efficiency; they're able to troubleshoot and find issues for our customers in a minimal amount of time."
"Cribl is one of the best data pipelining platforms, and with all the features that have been upgraded over the past three years, it has been seamless."
"Cribl is excellent for scalability, as it is good overall for pipeline maintaining, horizontal scaling, distributed architecture, parallel pipelines, and load balancing."
"The return on investment with Cribl is huge."
"Implementing Cribl has optimized the infrastructure that we have and is improving the optimization of the services that we are providing."
"Using Cribl for five years has simplified a lot of use cases when onboarding data, and because it is simplified, it takes less time, which is a huge win."
"Cribl Cloud has no issues with handling large data ingestion volumes."
"The capability to reduce logs in a user-friendly manner is a standout feature. Cribl allows us to view logs live as they are being processed, giving us quick feedback on the changes made."
"Even if you don't have a QA tool, you can automate a lot of the quality assurance functions through ORUEI."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to Drill down to webpage actions."
"Before RUEI came in, the users from production took hours to resolve issues, or couldn't end up finding a root cause."
"The customers requires redundancy work to achieve a 99.999% uptime. To accomplish this, we installed this solution into storage. This setup ensures that if one node goes down, the system remains operational through another node. So that's the core aspect of the setup. Additionally, the schedule and the rental database run on servers, and behind these servers, we have storage. This storage operates as a single storage cluster, although there might be another storage option that costs around $30."
"ORUEI lets you create a dashboard that shows you insight into the user experience."
"Customer satisfaction higher than before."
"The availability of the solution is its most valuable aspect. I can also Google anything I want and upload it on the cloud. I can do that using the mobile app. It is very helpful."
 

Cons

"What I dislike about Cribl is that it represents my direct pain point."
"Data cost is a concern, as Cribl charges for everything it sees rather than everything it processes."
"There is room for improvement in Cribl, as managing data from around forty thousand servers can become complex."
"There have been several administrative issues. Another point is that the browsing functions aren't very intuitive."
"Regarding stability, lagging only happens if I exceed my data analysis stuff, but it is a limitation with Cribl as per their design."
"Cribl doesn't have as many packs available"
"Some of the integrations such as SNMP need improvement, and I feel Cribl should improve on SNMP integration and also on the database monitoring space."
"The cost part is very high compared to alternatives such as Edge Delta, which offers much cheaper prices."
"Currently, it monitors web applications well, but ORUEI doesn't monitor mobile applications yet. It would be nice if they also added the ability to monitor mobile apps."
"There are instances of imitation, like with processors. As customers, we aim to develop this area, particularly focusing on the networking facility and connectivity. The challenge lies in the connection between the DC and MDR, which is quite distant. The link between them needs to be reliable. When direct fiber isn't available, they resort to using dark fiber, which can lead to some limitations.

In the event of any issues, an account is set up for cache memory to ensure that the system remains operational and can recover data from the cache as needed. Additionally, I have a secondary aspect to consider."
"It is a bit complex for newbie."
"Licensing is very expensive for this solution."
"It would be nice if the solution could be integrated with Outlook. If I'm signing any quotation, any proposal, or any of my communications, I should be able to update that Oracle application as well."
"The application resource usage has increased due to using RUEI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would not say it is a cheaply priced tool as it has been doing wonders in the market. The tool has been budget-friendly for organizations."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
