Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is an open-source tool that is stable and flexible.""Loki also utilizes the same service discovery mechanism as used by Prometheus. So, whatever labeled metadata you see in Prometheus, you have the exact same metadata in the Loki system. Given this level of intricacy and the attempt to address these challenges, I firmly believe that Loki deserves praise for the work.""The effectiveness of filters is pivotal for optimizing the search process and extracting the specific information we need from the extensive log data.""The log collection feature is good and the solution is easily understandable. v""The solution's stability has never been a problem. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten.""We are using Grafana Loki as a database for real-time metrics.""The most valuable feature of Grafana Loki is the dashboards which are really simple to create.""The best feature of Grafana Loki is that it integrates well with our other tool."

"For me, the most valuable feature of LogRhythm AXON is the log parsing technology it has. With my company, I'm the current policy builder, so not having to know an archaic, cryptic format and being able to visually grab a log and assign an element to a particular meta tag quickly and easily and being able to run tests on that have been super useful. It's going to revolutionize the way the logs are identified and classified.""The search feature within AXON is pretty robust. It's actually very fast in comparison to that in the previous platform. It's going to really help with investigations when they get rules put into the system.""Scalability-wise, LogRhythm Axon is a good product."

Cons
"The solution's scalability depends on the team managing the Grafana instance.""We encountered certain limitations when it came to alerting, particularly when dealing with specific data sources.""The solution has shortcomings regarding security monitoring-oriented features that need improvement.""There is a need for some change in the alerting types of the product. In short, a few changes in the alert area are needed due to minor shortcomings.""Enhancing speed could be a game-changer, and while it might vary depending on the application, it's a factor worth exploring.""My main concern is the recommended production-grade setup. They suggest using tools like Tanka or Jsonnet. They should simplify the process to increase adoption.""The Docker container partition feature needs improvement as they do not reuse the space and goes into a pending state.""The product must improve its UI."

"I'd give technical support a five out of ten. There are definitely areas that they can improve upon. Faster response times would be wonderful, and having more knowledgeable staff who provide the support would also be great.""It's a very beta solution right now, and there are so many features that we would like to see added in, such as integration with Active Directory, which is essential for user management and for streamlining that process significantly.""With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required."
