It consolidates all logs into one place and provides required features and functionalities

Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to do RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.

High performance, quick setup, but lacking ease of use

Some of the functions could improve by making them easier. There is room for improvement when it comes to the graphs provided by the software. Additionally, there seems to be an issue with the ping status, as it sometimes indicates that a website is down even when it is functioning properly. It appears that there are certain aspects related to cache management or other backend functionalities that are unclear. The time range graph and overall user interface could be more user-friendly. For example, when selecting a custom graph for a specific time period, clicking on it should open the corresponding website in a new tab, but instead, it displays the current graph. This lack of consistency can be frustrating when trying to navigate the interface. Furthermore, the reports shared on a weekly basis arrive one week late, reducing their usefulness. Overall, some extra efforts are required to make the user experience smoother and more efficient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."

"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."

"With LogDNA, which brings all the logs together in an interleaved stream, it allows us to take a transaction and relate it to other contextual events making the gathering of evidence for auditors and our internal RCA much more productive."

"We haven't had anything yet that we couldn't do through LogDNA."

"My advice to anybody who is considering Pingdom is that this is a good product at an affordable price."

"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."

"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."

"Overall, this is a very good product and one that I recommend."

"One valuable feature is real user monitoring."

"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."

"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"

Cons

"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."

"Scalability could be improved; we are using it through the IBM cloud deployment and on some of the data centers that are very heavily used, there is a significant lag in the event stream, sometimes 10, 15 minutes behind, which makes the RCA impossible."

"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."

"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."

"I would like to see better integration with other products."

"Technical support could use some improvement."

"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."

"Technical support could use some improvement."

"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The license was paid yearly and included technical support."

"This price of this solution is reasonable."

"While I wouldn't describe it as excessively expensive, if you require specific and reliable monitoring, SolarWinds can be a suitable option. The advantage is that SolarWinds offers a free version as well. If you don't heavily rely on its monitoring capabilities and are content with its basic features, the free version could suffice for your needs."
