Room For Improvement

Coralogix users seek better cost management, AI integration, simpler interfaces, dashboard customization, and improved support for various technical features.
Trellix ESM requires stability, HTML5 migration, and upgrades in customization, integration, support, usability, and AI for improved functionality.
Coralogix already provides strong capabilities for centralized logging and monitoring, but enhancing these areas would make it even more efficient for large-scale environments in our telecom servers.
Technical Solution Support Development Engineer at Ericsson Global
We require some form of grouping or categorization of logs to identify them better.
SDE II at Nutanix
Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions.
Engineering Manager at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
If there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that.
Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
 

Setup Cost

Coralogix offers flexible usage-based pricing with costs from $400-$5,000, emphasizing scalability and cost management for enterprises.
Trellix ESM offers flexible, slightly costly licensing, valued for its SOC features, with straightforward setup and deployment.
Despite the expense, I believe it is worth the money to have Coralogix as a tool.
SDE II at Nutanix
Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage.
Engineering Manager at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
It is charged based on what we store.

Valuable Features

Coralogix offers intuitive UI, real-time logging, AI insights, seamless integrations, and efficient log management for improved troubleshooting and visualization.
Trellix ESM excels in real-time threat detection, user-friendly interface, quick deployment, and strong integration with other technologies.
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.
Presales Engineer at Crayon AS
Coralogix has positively impacted our organization by providing us with a clearer data flow, which allows us to analyze data better and find errors easier using the smart logs it offers.
Automation Engineer at MyDubai.io
Out of real-time analytics, cost-efficient storage, and AI-powered insights, the most valuable for my team has been the cost-efficient storage.
Software Developer
The weakest point is it doesn't cover almost all the devices, so the customer has to be more dependent on the parsers to be written by the Professional Services team.
Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.

Featured Reviews

Arka Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Solution Support Development Engineer at Ericsson Global
Centralized monitoring has transformed telecom troubleshooting and now reduces downtime proactively
Coralogix works well for our needs, but there are a few areas where improvements can be made. One area is querying performance for large-scale data sets. When we are dealing with very high log volumes, some complex queries take time to return results. Improving query speed and optimization would enhance the troubleshooting experience. Another point is the learning curve for advanced features. While basic usage is straightforward, advanced querying and dashboard configurations can take time for new users we are onboarding. We have faced this situation in our organization's domain frequently. More simplified UI options or guided templates would help new team members onboard faster. Additionally, dashboard customization flexibility needs improvement. Although dashboards are useful, having more flexibility in customization would make them even more powerful. An important point is cost optimization. Since log volume is high in our environment, better visibility and control over cost optimization would be beneficial. These are minor improvements overall. Coralogix already provides strong capabilities for centralized logging and monitoring, but enhancing these areas would make it even more efficient for large-scale environments in our telecom servers. Improvements could include query performance, alert noise reduction, and ease of use for advanced features, especially for large-scale environments like ours.

Offers comprehensive report generation while maintaining ease of integration
We need to improve Trellix ESM by making sure that most of the logging devices available in the global market should be covered, and if there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that. We can add some new features regarding AI in the future for Trellix ESM, but the maturity will take a longer time. There are many false positives that happen in an environment during the first couple of months, or around six months, so the system analyst is not able to identify whether the event which has occurred is a true positive or a false positive.
