Coralogix Reviews

We are building a reconciliation system where we handle the in and out of transactions daily. We maintain a record to verify if transactions came at the expected time and match them with the bank statement. We also deal with Kafka and pod failures, high Kafka lag, and have integrated Grafana with Coralogix to monitor Kafka lag on each topic.

One of the most valuable features of Coralogix is its time range feature, which allows us to specify a time range and get the exact logs needed. This feature is frequently used by our team. Coralogix also allows us to query in a way similar to querying a database, but this is not commonly known among our team members.

We need to reduce the number of logs generated by our system, which are substantial. We require some form of grouping or categorization of logs to identify them better. Additionally, we find that the user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here.

I have been using Coralogix for around one year.

There was an instance where we faced difficulty understanding why there was a lot of Kafka lag. The aggregation process in Coralogix makes it hard to see the exact metric. For example, high CPU usage on one pod can be averaged out by others, concealing potential issues. This averaging can sometimes be troublesome.

Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten. We have never faced any scalability issues.

The support team is doing well. They are helpful, especially when we created several custom dashboards.

The initial setup is straightforward and easy to integrate with Coralogix. Creating a custom dashboard depends on the team.

The pricing is expensive. We need to reduce logs to manage costs. Despite the expense, I believe it is worth the money to have Coralogix as a tool.

I would recommend considering New Relic, as it is a big competitor. New Relic provides specific metrics for each function and line of code, which is beneficial.

I would rate Coralogix eight out of ten overall. While I recommend Coralogix, New Relic has advantages in specific areas.

Our company's use case for Coralogix is to protect our customers and support some attacks because here in Brazil, EFT is responsible for that.

The most valuable feature of Coralogix is the Social Security feature designed to protect machines that run on various systems such as Windows Server, including all versions from 2008 to 2022. The solution supports any Linux operating system distribution and can also be used to back up Mac systems.

The benefit of Coralogix for my organization is that Five9 is feature-rich, but we're not utilizing all available tools due to our size, with about 65 users split across three teams. This limits our use of analytics and other Five9 tools.

If I could improve Coralogix in any way, I would suggest additional customization options for our dashboards.

The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement.

I was part of the deployment at all, and since I'm new to the company, I haven't had the opportunity to talk to Coralogix customer support yet.

The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues.

There are no downtimes, no crashes, or any performance issues that I've noticed since we started using it.

The product is scalable, and I believe it will grow with our needs.

I don't know what the experience overall with them is, but I've heard good things.

Positive

When I compared Coralogix to DataDog, the pros include better usability and features, while the cons involve some learning curves with both products.

The integration capabilities of Coralogix are perfect, and they work seamlessly with our existing tools.

I use the customizable dashboards from Coralogix, and they provide great insight into our data.

My overall experience with the pricing and licensing is good, and I appreciate the transparency.

The solution integrates with other tools, which is a significant advantage for our workflows.

On a scale of one to ten with one being worst and ten being best, I would rate Coralogix an eight for its performance and features.

My main use case for Coralogix is logging and log monitoring. I use Coralogix for log analytics, as whatever logs are going into it are analyzed for any issues that arise.

In my experience, the best feature Coralogix offers is that the dashboard is pretty good.

Coralogix has impacted my organization, but I have noticed nothing different; it is similar to other solutions. Coralogix feels the same as other solutions; there is nothing special about faster incident resolution, better visibility, or improved collaboration.

I think Coralogix can be improved with flexible dashboards. Creating specific views, such as saving a dev environment as a separate view rather than adding filters every time, would be great.

I have been using Coralogix for more than six months.

Before Coralogix, I used a lot of tools including Elasticsearch and Kibana.

I switched from Elasticsearch to Coralogix because it is a logging solution. We are not a logging company, so it is a build versus buy decision. The hassle of hosting is very easy, and we do not want to solve that problem.

Coralogix's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way. I feel Coralogix is expensive, but I am not sure if I have seen a return on investment since using it; I have not saved time, reduced costs, or needed fewer employees. I gave this review a rating of 9.

We are using Coralogix for log monitoring and creating dashboards. We have not explored the SIEM part and other capabilities yet.

We are not using Coralogix to the fullest extent. However, the log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial. Other aspects like the alerting mechanism are also satisfactory.

Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions. The increasing volume of data and the resulting bandwidth charges are concerns. An in-built solution that remains native could resolve this issue.

We have been using it for almost two years now.

For now, we have not experienced any stability issues.

We have not experienced any scalability issues so far.

The technical support is good. I rate it eight out of ten, and I am satisfied with their response time and overall competence.

Positive

Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month.

We are considering having an in-house mechanism using Grafana Loki.

I would recommend Coralogix to others based on my experience. 

I rate Coralogix seven out of ten. Including AI features could be a game changer.

It's a login solution. We have a bunch of applications running in our cloud and all the logs with stalled applications and rates. We put those logs in Coralogix. Then we analyze those logs for various things, including alerts, data analysis, investigations, et cetera.

The overall capability of the platform and the kind of interface they have is excellent. The way I can query the data and pinpoint the issues, the kind of alerts they have, is so advantageous. The functionality is the most essential part for me.

The initial setup is straightforward.

We have asked for a couple of features from the company already. What typically happens is a lot of people - and developers are one of the biggest consumers of this product - go to this product to optimize their investigation process and specific configurations. That increases our data flow at times, so the cost changes. And a lot of changes happen due to that. We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change.

I’ve been using the solution for over a year.

The solution is stable and the performance is good. It’s reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn’t crash or freeze.

The scalability is pretty good.

We have about 60 to 70 people using this product. The majority of the backend and seniors use it regularly.

Technical support is above average. They have been pretty fast and pretty supportive on issues.

In this company, this I the first solution used. Before this, we were using an in-house solution. However, I've previously used some solutions such as Splunk and Datadog, if I remember correctly. Functionality-wise, this product is more mature compared to them. Plus, there are additional capabilities For example, I can keep my cost in check. Certain functionality in these terms of cost control is better. Overall product, it is slightly better than other products which are used.

The solution is acceptably easy to set up. That said, of course, you need enough technical understanding to set it up.

The deployment took a while for us, almost a month, I would say. The majority of the things were not ready on our side, however. The product was ready from almost day one, yet it took us quite a while to collect all the logs, redirect them to Coralogix, and create the logs in a format which were possible to ingest in Coralogix. A lot of work on our side was needed initially. Any new company which is onboarding has to go through the same cycle. It’s a sizeable investment in terms of time if they the company is not ready to onboard. If they have already been a customer or have done similar work, at least it should be pretty straightforward and only take a few days.

We did the initial setup ourselves. It's a pretty straightforward process.

We are paying roughly $5,000 a month.

It is not a pay-as-you-go model and suddenly you pump in a lot of data and your cost blows up. I can have a monthly billing which is in my control. I can tweak around costs to reduce my cost and all that.

I’m just an end-user.

Since we are using the cloud, we’re always using the latest solution version.

For any company getting onboarded to Coralogix or an equivalent solution for the first time, they need to do their in-house streamlining before they start working on this. It took us almost a month to streamline our systems and our processes to get onboarded. And during that time, we were just waiting to get onboarded. It's better to sort out internal things before you start looking at for a solution.

I’d rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use the tracing service from Coralogix mainly to store logs.

The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces.

The documentation of the tool could be improved. The amount of data the system can process at one time is not that high. In a future release, it would be great to have an easier way to manipulate data that has already been ingested. It could also be more user-friendly.

I have been using this solution for a year and a half. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for stability.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for customer support.

Positive

The initial setup is easy and only took a couple of hours. 

The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested.

Coralogix is an Israeli startup so the headquarters of the company is in Israel. I believe it was easier for our company to find a company in Israel.

If a company has the budget and the log service is critical for them, I would say use Coralogix. It is a very good service for that.

I would rate Coralogix an eight out of ten. It is an excellent service for storing logs for a long time. The capacity is unlimited for unindexed logs. The cost model is also very efficient because you pay for the ingested data per month. This can be compared to a solution like New Relic where you have to pay it upfront and cannot limit the data ingestion. 

Coralogix provides an easy way to search for logs and to visualize them. This a great feature because developers are constantly looking for or browsing logs.

The solution is mostly used for basic log monitoring, the sync of logs, log analyzing, log collection, et cetera.

Probably in comparison with other stuff like ELK and other sources, it's the best experience. Like Graylog, it's the best experience that they have had related to logs.

The solution offers very good convenience filtering.

You can group logs just from UI without writing any irregular expression, you just clear, make it two clicks, and they're automatically grouping. You can analyze the amount of work. For example, the alerting system is excellent. That provides different types of alerts, including the number of logs, time analyzing, comparing a previous period, et cetera.

It offers good documentation.

The setup is easy.

Support is helpful and responsive.

From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers. For sure, it should be improved with the Terraform provider.

I’ve used the solution for one and a half years.

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn’t crash or freeze.

In our cluster, it's up to a few thousand ports and steelwork collection working correctly. The scale there is good. I don't know much about really high scales. There are thousands of containers, however, on my scale, it's working properly.

We have up to 100 people, which include some staff monitors, that are using it all the time.

Support is great. They are helpful and responsive.

They are the greatest support team that I ever worked with, especially in comparison with AWS support’s premium tier and the Coralogix premium tier. Coralogix is a few times better than even AWS support.

You can compare this solution with Graylog and ELK. However, those are open-source solutions, so they're non-comfortable and require a lot of customization and knowledge from people who are working with them. You need to be able to write proper code so that not all people like it. Maybe New Relic Logs Collection is similar. The most crucial difference is that the New Relic solution requires more completion power from the backend.

It's basically straightforward to set up. The documentation is quite good and very helpful during the process. The support is there to assist as well.

I’m not sure how long ht deployment took. It's hard to say from my side as I'm more from the perspective of the SRE team, and it was deployed by developers, however, they know that it's quite a fast procedure.

I'm not familiar with pricing.

I’m a customer and en-user.

We’re likely using the latest version of the solution. We get all of the updates.

I’d advise potential new users to try to find some optimization solution that wouldn't involve Terraform provider of Coralogix, since it's too difficult to use and almost impossible to maintain. Also, write proper logs since the amount of quota is strictly limited. If your logs are collecting something like user ID, it'll quickly use all the quota, and you should ask for an additional quota or go for an upper tier.

I’d rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We primarily use it for metrics and reports.

It's been absolutely brilliant, I would say. It’s so easy to use and the UI and look and feel are great.

A non-tech person can easily get used to it. Obviously, a tech person finds it more useful and more helpful. However, even for analysts, or maybe some business person who just wants to see some metrics or reports, it is also helpful for them. It's pretty easy, quite useful.

The extensiveness of how we can drill down deeply into each and every index, each and every metric, is quite helpful. The drilling down and the detailed processes are aspects that I really like.

I couldn't find anything lacking. It's pretty much perfectly put together. From my side, I don't have any notes as of now for any improvements.

Maybe they could make it more user-friendly. Errors should be shown in terms of text.

I’ve used the solution for more than two years.

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. Its performance is good and it is reliable. It doesn’t crash or freeze.

We have 600 to 700 people using the solution currently. It's mainly for the engineering department; for example, back-end engineering uses it a lot.

You can scale it up to as much as you need. They have their hard limit of one billion records, as an example; however, if you want to scale it, you can scale it quickly. There is no external effort you need to put in.

We likely won’t increase usage. We are pretty much okay with the users and the older system we have right now. We are already using it extensively for our alerting and reporting systems and everything.

Technical support is fantastic. They are happy to come on a Zoom call, or a required Teams call, or whatever. They can help you one-on-one. They have chat support systems, yet they are happy to get on the call at any time. I really appreciate their effort in that sense.

Before this, we were using Sumo Logic. It's in line with CoreLogix, however, CoreLogix is much better than them. They have more options and the UI is also easy to use.

The initial setup was straightforward. They have their own dedicated person who will help you if you need any help. The support team has their chat system as well. They have their live chat that can help you if you need them. It's pretty easy to use. You just you have to install one agent, and then it's pretty smooth from there.

The deployment itself hardly took a couple of hours.

They have their own team, if you need their help, they can help you.

I'm more often on the technical side. Licensing is done by the business team and then the legal team. I don't have any idea what the costs are.

We are just end users.

I'm using the latest version of the product. They recently made changes in their UI almost six months ago. I'm using the latest version only.

Its deployment is basically third parties services. They have their own setup. They will create your account, and then you go there.

I’d recommend the solution to others. It'll be definitely easier for debugging, error tracking, reporting, and all those other tasks. It will definitely help.

I’d rate the solution nine out of ten.

My main use case for Coralogix is to see failures in the system when there are failures. A specific example of when Coralogix helped me detect or resolve a failure in the system is when a user clicks a button on the website and a failure occurs; we see this failure in Coralogix.

In my opinion, the best feature of Coralogix is that it's convenient to look at errors. Everything together makes viewing errors convenient for me. Coralogix has positively impacted my organization in that we can quickly see the problem and quickly see where it might have occurred. I am now able to find and resolve problems the same day compared to how it was before.

I think Coralogix could be improved, but I appreciate everything currently available. What we have today is sufficient.

I have been using Coralogix for a year.

I would rate the stability of Coralogix as very good since I haven't noticed any problems.

I would rate the scalability of Coralogix as easy; it's easy and goes faster.

I have not contacted support.

My advice to those considering implementing Coralogix is that it is a good tool for monitoring. I would rate this review a 9.

We use Coralogix to analyze our log metrics. We were looking for an enhanced tool to help us secure our real-time data.

We have integrated Coralogix with Slack and other tools, which has helped us receive real-time alerts. We don't have to constantly monitor the tool because it generates alerts and pushes them to us, providing notifications on Slack. This enhancement has strengthened our security, fulfilling our need when searching for such a tool. 

Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams. This SaaS platform utilizes machine learning for behavioral analysis of logs, yielding the results we need. For instance, there was a scenario where we received extension logs that were difficult to interpret. However, we obtained the analysis with the help of the product.

Almost all the features we currently use in our product subscription are important to us. Regarding alerting or incident management, incident alert mapping, and suppression rules, we utilize almost all the features available on Coralogix. Additionally, we are sending all the logs, such as app logs, EPC flow logs, etcetera.

Nowadays, tools are often divided into modules. It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription. It would streamline the process for organizations like ours.

Merging some of the modules into a single subscription would be beneficial. Nowadays, modules are often separated, so if an organization needs additional modules after subscribing to one, they may have to purchase another subscription. Combining the availability module with tracing metrics or other relevant modules would be beneficial.

I rate the platform's stability a nine out of ten.

I rate the platform's scalability an eight.

We did contact the technical support team when we encountered a deployment issue with Cloudflare. They assisted us promptly and provided helpful answers within the expected time frame.

Before adopting Coralogix, we relied on open-source solutions, but they needed to meet our needs effectively. It led us to explore and eventually invest in a commercial product.

The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten.

We also evaluated Palo Alto and other Palo Alto products as potential solutions. We opted for Coralogix over Palo Alto because its subscription plan offered better visibility and more features.

The alerting feature in Coralogix, integrated with Slack, has helped your team respond to incidents more quickly and effectively. We haven't experienced any incidents since implementation. Still, during the POC phase, the alerting feature proved to be prompt and reliable, assisting your team in promptly addressing potential issues.

It provides visualization tools that facilitate data analysis. These tools are available directly on the dashboard.

I recommend analyzing their organization's use case and scenario for new users. They should compare it with other tools to see if it suits their needs. If they find it suitable, then they should proceed with it. However, they should be prepared for the possibility that the tool may only suit some organizations. In our case, it worked well in pricing, scenario, and overall performance, so we opted to use it.


I rate it a nine out of ten.
