Good capabilities, has a helpful interface and is straightforward to set up
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.
Adelina Craciun - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization enables tailored monitoring and alerting across departments
The possibility to customize it has been quite useful. Whatever the other departments want to dream up, we implement. Whatever they want to monitor, the granularity of it, the changes in the threshold, and the anomalies that they want reported all require some development. So far, every single request has been fulfilled.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"It is scalable and supports multitenancy, which is beneficial for MSPs."
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"All the features that we use, such as monitoring, dashboarding, reporting, the possibility of alerting, and the way we index the data, are important."
"It is very stable, and I would rate it ten out of ten based on my interaction with it."
 

Cons

"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"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."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"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."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"Simplifying the parsing of logs and manual efforts would also be beneficial."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"One example is the inability to monitor very old databases with the newest version."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"One needs to pay for the licenses, and it is an annual subscription model right now."
"The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"Elastic Observability's pricing could be better for small-scale users."
"So far, there are just the standard licensing fees. Several of the components are embedded in the license or are even open source. They're even free depending on what you use, which makes it even more appealing to someone that is discussing pricing of the solution."
"Elastic Observability is cheaper than other similar solutions, such as Dynatrace. Its license calculation is based on various factors like data volume and physical infrastructure, particularly related to RAM capacity."
"The product is not that cheap."
"We will buy a premium license after POC."
