I.T. Manager at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees

A great addition to our security monitoring system

We haven't to this point had to scale very large, we want to continue to evolve, but it's a slow process for us. From what I've used so far, and my reading on it, I don't think we're going to have any problems scaling to really whatever size we need.

The solution is a consistent logging platform that provides excellent query mechanisms

We can query a lot of data points and build dashboards. The vendor is good at adjusting their models. Most companies want us to forecast our yearly use and pay it upfront on day one. With Logz.io, we commit to use 14 TB in a year. However, they measure us every month and give us a monthly bill. Depending on our monthly usage, we pay for 14 TB divided by 12 months or a little extra. It's a little bit more like AWS. Other solutions do not do it. They want their money upfront. We really like the dashboards. We have 36 sub-accounts. Each sub-account is an app, and we could put restrictions on that app. Previously, there were capacity restrictions on the sub-accounts. If we have a sub-account of 1 TB and use only 100 GB, we waste 900 GB that day. We could not share it between sub-accounts. Now, they provide an overhead volume. We do a reserve, and any sub-account could use anything over the reserve. It utilizes our footprint better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There's a whole spectrum of features on the solution that users can take advantage of. It's a very robust product."

"The security aspects in general have been very useful to use."

"We use the tool to track the dev and production environment."

"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."

"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."

"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."

"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."

"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."

"The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues."

Cons

"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."

"The dashboard is not user-friendly. The solution, in general, isn't great from a user's perspective."

"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."

"The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API."

"The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring."

"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two."

"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 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."

"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It wasn't cheap, but it was cost-effective compared to many of the other solutions."

"The tool is an open source product."

"The product's pricing is cheaper than other solutions."

"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."

"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."

"The product is a little expensive."
