Presales Engineer at Crayon AS

Centralized monitoring has improved real-time issue tracking and reduced root cause analysis time

One of the best features that Coralogix offers is that it is integration friendly. I can seamlessly work with different cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP. I can monitor Kubernetes or Docker platforms as well, and I can integrate with the DevOps chain including Jenkins and all infrastructure code, Terraform, or Ansible. Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool. I have the interface where I can use the drag-and-drop feature, and I can create different types of charts. Mainly, I have the line charts and time series ones that I generally use in many use cases, gauges, tables, pie charts, or markdown widgets. These are the ones generically available, and I can switch between the visualization types. I am getting the underlying query in that and can import and export dashboards built upon the JSON format. I can have my own APIs integrated with my dashboards as well, such as with Terraform, which is useful for scaling across my environments. Regarding root cause analysis, mainly what I can do is correlate across all of the layers because the main logs that I work on are storage-related, including CIFS, NFS, SAN traffic, and the metrics including storage, throughput, or VM resource usage. Being able to view logs, metrics, or traces available, I get all of these in one place, and I can do root cause analysis much quicker.

Has improved threat detection with deep log analysis and streamlined investigation workflows

The most useful features I find in Elastic Security are the forensic ones that allow us to carry deeper analysis into the logs for in-depth investigations, and the dashboards, with the reporting dashboard being quite user-friendly. Elastic Security is quite good at identifying threats, as it is part of the deep investigation tool that I mentioned before. Unless we need to look further into a certain log, we can carry out a deeper analysis and forensics on those particular logs. I can assess the impact of Elastic Security's real-time data analysis on our threat response efficiency as working pretty good. We are looking for real-time analysis because we have a continuous inflow of logs from different sources: from our cloud, from Active Directory, from our network. So it works pretty well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."

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

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool."

"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."

"The solution is easy to use and to start with."

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

More Coralogix pros

"The scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment."

"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast."

"I can look at events from more than one source across multiple different locations and find patterns or anomalies. The machine learning capabilities are helpful, and I can create rules for notifications to be more proactive rather than responding after something has gone wrong."

"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."

"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."

"The most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."

"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."

"Elastic Security offers advanced features such as machine learning and integration with ChatGPT."

More Elastic Security pros

Cons

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

"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."

"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."

"Coralogix's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way."

"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."

"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."

"In terms of documentation, I think there can be more user-friendly documentation that stresses more on day-to-day issues."

"The documentation of the tool could be improved"

More Coralogix cons

"We set up a cron job to delete old logs so that we wouldn't hit a disk space issue. Such a feature should be available in the UI, where old logs can be deleted automatically. (Don’t know if this feature is already there)."

"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."

"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."

"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes."

"Their visuals and graphs need to be better."

"The solution could offer better reporting features."

"One limitation of Elastic Security is that it does not have built-in workflows for all tasks. For example, if you need a workflow for compliance, you will need to create a custom workflow."

"One thing they could add is a quick step to enable users who don't have a solid background to build a dashboard and quickly search, without difficulty."

More Elastic Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"Its price is fine. Its licensing works on a yearly basis. We have to renew the license every year. I also have a good experience with Darktrace. When we buy Darktrace, we get training free of cost, which is not there in Elastic. We have to pay extra for training. There is certainly room for improvement."

"We use the open-source version, so there is no charge for this solution."

"Compared to other tools, Elastic Security is a cheaper solution."

"Affordable but with additional costs"

"Elastic Stack is an open-source tool. You don't have to pay anything for the components."

"The pricing is in the middle. I think it is not an expensive experience if we compare it with big names, for example, QRadar, and also Oxide. I think Elastic Security is quite cheap. I would rate the pricing of this solution a five out of ten."

"Elastic Security is free to use."

"The licensing cost of Elastic Security is based on the daily ingestion rate. I can't recall the exact figure, but for 10GB of log action daily, it would cost around $20,000."
