Arkajyoti Misra - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Director at Husk Power Systems
AI-driven observability has reduced investigation time and now improves uptime and customer trust
As for improvements needed in Logz.io, I think cost or pricing is always a consideration, especially since I come from a startup and an Indian company, making us look for products that provide better value for money. Compared to the market, their pricing appears decent but might need reevaluation as we scale further to remain competitive. The main concern for me is pricing, as feature-wise, I believe Logz.io is on par with other tools available in the market; however, it is not as widely discussed. Their features align with offerings from Elastic Stack and other prominent tools, including functionalities available from Prometheus or Grafana, providing centralized logging and other capabilities in the UI, so while the product direction is solid, improved pricing would immensely benefit us. I believe we have covered almost everything regarding improvements needed for Logz.io.

Comprehensive monitoring has improved performance, capacity planning, and multi-source log analysis
VMware Aria Operations for Logs would be used to completely monitor the health of your environment. Second is to understand your existing capacity and forecast your capacity for the next year or so. Third would be on performance management, understanding how the environment is performing, and what has to be done to optimize it. We use VMware Aria Operations for Logs for these purposes. We also use VMware Aria Operations for Logs to monitor non-VMware components as well. VMware Aria Operations for Logs is now part of a bigger suite with several modules added. You have an option to collect logs from various sources and then you can do some sorts of analytics from it as well. All of this can be done with VMware Aria Operations for Logs.
