A flexible and feature-rich product, but the documentation needs to be improved
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility of being able to send the log to the https endpoint."
- "Although there is documentation available, it is really hard for me to find relevant topics on what it is that I'm searching for."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility of being able to send the log to the https endpoint. I know that it is possible to export the logs, although it is easier for me to communicate with the endpoints concerning what I am interested in.
This is a feature-rich product.
What needs improvement?
Although there is documentation available, it is really hard for me to find relevant topics on what it is that I'm searching for. For example, when something goes wrong, I can spend hours trying to figure out the problem and have nothing to refer to. I find that it confuses me somewhat, so it is something that can be improved.
I feel that technical support can be improved because it is always done through the use of a support ticket, which is not very convenient.
Setting up and configuring integrations are not easy to do.
For how long have I used the solution?
We implement this solution within the past year.
