Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The security aspects in general have been very useful to use.""There's a whole spectrum of features on the solution that users can take advantage of. It's a very robust product."

More Elastic Beats Pros →

"We use the tool to track the dev and production environment.""We use the product for log collection and monitoring.""The other nice thing about Logz.io is their team. When it comes to onboarding, their support is incredibly proactive. They bring the brand experience from a customer services perspective because their team is always there to help you refine filters and tweak dashboards. That is really a useful thing to have. Their engagement is really supportive.""InsightOne is the main reason why we use LogMeIn. This is mostly because of log data that we are pushing tools and logs in general.""The query mechanism for response codes and application health is valuable.""It is massively useful and great for testing. We can just go, find logs, and attach them easily. It has a very quick lookup. Whereas, before we would have to go, dig around, and find the server that the logs were connected to, then go to the server, download the log, and attach it. Now, we can just go straight to this solution, type in the log ID and server ID, and obtain the information that we want.""The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues.""The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature. It's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs. We can see status really clearly and very fast, with just a couple of clicks."

Cons
"The dashboard is not user-friendly. The solution, in general, isn't great from a user's perspective.""At some level, the documentation, the information as far as the components, it's sometimes a little difficult to find the information necessary to implement aspects."

More Elastic Beats Cons →

"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two.""The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring.""The solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well.""When it comes to reducing our troubleshooting time, it depends. When there are no bugs in Logz.io, it reduces troubleshooting by 5 to 10 percent. When there are bugs, it increases our troubleshooting time by 200 percent or more.""Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle.""I would like them to improve how they manage releases. Some of our integrations integrate specifically with set versions. Logz.io occasionally releases an update that might break that integration. On one occasion, we found out a little bit too late, then we had to roll it back.""The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API.""The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."

  • More Elastic Beats Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "You pay for what you need, and that is a good model. They are also quite happy to talk to you about your uses and your use case. They will even go as far as suggesting things that you don't need to do in order to save you money. At one point, I was quite surprised at how cheap it could be if we wanted it to be or how much they would help us manage our costs."
  • "At the time it was set up, we thought Logz.io was very reasonable for what we were getting in terms of how much time and hosting costs it was saving us, because you don't have to run the servers for it anymore."
  • "The tool is an open source product."
  • "The product's pricing is cheaper than other solutions."
  • "The product is a little expensive."
