Anand_Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Technical Architect at T-Systems International GmbH
Offers reliable Ops Agent and logging transport feature with easy third-party integrations
As part of our company, we implemented several changes in our log analytics pattern, including the storage and procurement process. Earlier, before implementing the solution, our company was able to procure only one year of data, but later, we came to the three-year mark. Around 15-20% reduction has been witnessed in the total analytic consumption of our company. The aforementioned result was possible because the solution allowed the creation of a dashboard where factors like storage costs, proportion of logs, and logs presence in a storage bucket or Big Query can all be checked. Earlier all logs were stored in a raw storage, but currently our company is able to move logs in table bucket that contributes towards cost savings. It has default integration for all gcp services. recently managed Prometheus support gives more flexibility to organizations to remain connected with their current Prometheus setup. We leveraged integrated FinOps Hub for recommendations for our workloads and server configurations, helpd us lot in order to get maximum TCO.

Head of Testing & AVP at Flash AI
Distributed tracing has transformed our testing workflows and now uncovers hidden failures fast
The best features Lumigo offers include the live stream architecture and transaction mapping, which helps to automatically generate and update the visual execution topology for every single test transaction. After seeing the exact flow from the edge API through intermediate queues and containerized microservices down to managed storage, it gives our QA engineers instant context. Additionally, I love the request-response payload inspection feature, which captures input and output parameters, request headers, and invocation payload safely. When an automated integration test fails, the exact offending payload is visible right inside the trace, helping to save our QA and engineering teams a lot of time, leading to at least a 48.33% drop in wasted time previously spent finding the root cause. With automation saved, automated root cause correlation has helped to correlate logs, metrics, and trace spans across asynchronous boundaries, which is notoriously difficult to debug in event-driven AI pipelines. The live stream architecture and transaction mapping make such a difference for my team, as it generates updates regularly via visual execution and the topology for every single test transaction, providing us with a view through intermediate queues and microservices to managed storage, giving engineers instant context of transactions and payloads, which saves at least 49% of our time and allows overall resources to be used more effectively. Regarding Lumigo's AI capabilities, I find the governance of security to be really good, and we have seen a positive impact due to the AI capabilities alongside strict compliance regulations such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, proving it is compliant with applicable regulations and policies. Lumigo's accuracy is close to 100%, making it very reliable. Lumigo integrates seamlessly with other AWS services we use, and we have not faced any issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We find the solution to be stable."
"It has really been helpful in detecting, identifying, and troubleshooting issues with cloud services used in the organization."
"The most valuable feature is the multi-cloud integration, where there is support for both GCP and AWS."
"Google's technical support is very good."
"I would tell potential users that the current version is much nicer than the previous one."
"The solution has improved our organization by reducing latency and also monitoring the costs of GCP usage by using the logging and monitoring features."
"It has reduced the amount of time that we would take for troubleshooting."
"The cloud login enables us to get our logs from the different platforms that we currently use."
"Lumigo has positively impacted our organization with transformative ROI for our quality engineering and delivery cycles, where the meantime to defect and resolve due to debugging failed end-to-end integration test runs has dropped over 68.3%."
"Any new member, whether from the development side or business team, finds the user-friendly UI easy to understand."
 

Cons

"It could be even more automated."
"It could be more stable."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"The process of logging analytics can be improved"
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it."
"Operations documentation could be a bit better. It took us some time to get up and running with it."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"I think support needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost could be lower."
"We have a basic standard license without any additional costs."
"The cost of using Stackdriver depends on usage."
