Centralized logs have improved troubleshooting and now reduce production incident impact
Logz.io can be improved by adding more AI-assisted root cause analysis and by improving log retention flexibility. They can also provide additional dashboard customization options. Logz.io is a very mature and grown platform with very good features. Most improvements should be around automation, AI-driven insights, and cost visibility. Because Logz.io is a very mature and grown platform that is very good, cost optimization can be made for higher costs related to higher log volumes. For larger organizations, custom dashboards can be improved. In terms of root cause analysis, there can be more AI-assisted root cause analysis capabilities.

A solid SIEM solution that should improve technical support and online resources to be easier to use
A big problem with the product is that we don't have much professional experience in Israel installing, implementing, and integrating this product. There is not enough of a knowledge base. There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams. We like to work locally because of the language, and when the product is only supported outside the country, it's a little difficult to implement and use this product. Moreover, AI is something that must be added immediately. Artificial intelligence is a part of the competitors' products, and it's not been implemented for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can't imagine how I ever worked without it before."
"We use the tool to track the dev and production environment."
"Logz.io has impacted our organization very positively."
"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."
"Our team doesn't spend time setting up, managing, and tuning a logging platform, which frees them up to spend time on higher value pieces of work and allows our people to focus on the high-value business change work."
"The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature; it's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs, and we can see status really clearly and very fast with just a couple of clicks."
"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics."
"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."
"The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"Their customer service is excellent, one of the best."
 

Cons

"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 solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well."
"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."
"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."
"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."
"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two, but they do have a lot of good alerting stuff in there already."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"The solution is pretty complex to set up. Comparatively, I have worked on IBM QRadar and Splunk; they are much easier to set up."
"Security needs improvement."
"The threat detection capability and centralizing and upgrading capability need to be improved. The threat alert capability needs to be improved as well because there is some lag time at present. They need to work on their database search too."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The tool is an open source product."
"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."
"Our license is for one year."
"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"The product is expensive."
"It is cheap."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
