Udit Parekh - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Engineer at Veefin
Centralized logs have improved troubleshooting and now reduce production incident impact
Logz.io can be improved by adding more AI-assisted root cause analysis and by improving log retention flexibility. They can also provide additional dashboard customization options. Logz.io is a very mature and grown platform with very good features. Most improvements should be around automation, AI-driven insights, and cost visibility. Because Logz.io is a very mature and grown platform that is very good, cost optimization can be made for higher costs related to higher log volumes. For larger organizations, custom dashboards can be improved. In terms of root cause analysis, there can be more AI-assisted root cause analysis capabilities.
