Regional Associate & Engineer at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Offers cost-effective log management with strong correlation features across observability tools
Grafana Loki's open-source capability is a significant benefit. Grafana has invested in making their enterprise tools competitive with other APM tools, facilitating cross-correlation with Mimir and Tempo for metrics and tracing. The tool offers good search functionality, and its on-premises capability is advantageous. The indexing performance is strong, making it a robust log management tool. Grafana Loki is notably cost-effective.

Product manager at Tata Communications Ltd
A tool that offers features like SOAR and UBA, along with an out-of-the-box connector for users
LogRhythm Axon has come up with the AI cloud concept in the market. When it comes to the AI cloud concept, you need to consider that every region has differences when it comes to data sovereignty. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon was based on real-time AI and ML concepts, along with analytics parts that were carried out. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon is not something that is available in India, so I want it to be introduced in India soon with data sovereignty compliance in place. LogRhythm should focus more on Axon and its cloud platform, which can be helpful in the future to compete with players like Sentinel and Splunk, which currently offer cloud models to users. With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The effectiveness of filters is pivotal for optimizing the search process and extracting the specific information we need from the extensive log data."
"Different types of integrations with various sources are the most helpful and useful features of Grafana Loki that I found for myself."
"We are using Grafana Loki as a database for real-time metrics."
"There are new features like that pilot code and things like that for profiling."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the tool's GUI. The solution's GUI is very user-friendly."
"The log collection feature is good and the solution is easily understandable. v"
"Loki significantly saves time in troubleshooting by quickly pinpointing network issues."
"The solution's stability has never been a problem. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The fact that your investigations can be saved into a single query string that you can copy and share with your teammates is going to be a game changer."
"For me, the most valuable feature of LogRhythm AXON is the log parsing technology it has. With my company, I'm the current policy builder, so not having to know an archaic, cryptic format and being able to visually grab a log and assign an element to a particular meta tag quickly and easily and being able to run tests on that have been super useful. It's going to revolutionize the way the logs are identified and classified."
"The search feature within Axon is pretty robust; it's actually very fast in comparison to the previous platform and is going to exponentially help the investigation times for the SOC analysts and for just pulling logs and getting data."
"Scalability-wise, LogRhythm Axon is a good product."
 

Cons

"The correlation of requests is not simple in Grafana Loki and can be improved."
"There is a need for some change in the alerting types of the product. In short, a few changes in the alert area are needed due to minor shortcomings."
"I would rate Grafana Loki a seven out of ten because it is open source, and sometimes there can be problems that are difficult to fix without official support."
"Visualization-wise, Grafana Loki's dashboard looks a little outdated compared to other open-source visualization tools like Chronograf."
"The Docker container partition feature needs improvement as they do not reuse the space and goes into a pending state."
"Enhancing speed could be a game-changer, and while it might vary depending on the application, it's a factor worth exploring."
"I do not see any areas for improvement at the moment."
"The product must improve its UI."
"With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I'd give technical support a five out of ten. There are definitely areas that they can improve upon, and faster response times would be wonderful, and having more knowledgeable staff who provide the support would also be great."
"It's a very beta solution right now, and there are so many features that we would like to see added in, such as integration with Active Directory, which is essential for user management and for streamlining that process significantly."
