Great for monitoring many users on private server

  • July 28, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use this tool to monitor and trouble shoot users access to our private server in a healthcare setting. It is very easy to navigate and accessible. I like that there are many ways to search for a device (device number, user logged into it, time, date, etc), which makes it quick and easy to identify users having problems. The chat function is also helpful for trouble shooting with users that work remotely.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much that I can think of. It might be helpful to setup up user profiles to match to machines to monitor usage by user name rather than machine name. Otherwise very few dislikes for this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trouble shooting users issues accessing server. Also used to look at our EHR product from the perspective of a clinician to analyze ease of use, practicality, and trouble shoot clinical errors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is very useful for people working in Quality Assurance for their agency as well as IT management.

I rely on it for accurate monitoring

  • July 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that I get e-mail notifications almost instantly if my sites go down for any reason as well as notification of when they go back up. The reporting interface is easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't have anything that I would say I "dislike" about it. As stated already, it is easy to use and understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This program helps me monitor uptime and downtime in case they perform under what my host has guaranteed. It will allow me to prove that the host isn't performing at the level I chose which would help me. Thankfully I haven't had to use it for that reason.

Excellent consolidation of and access to server logs

  • July 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Papertrail's searchability and aggregation makes it a stand-out product .
What do you dislike about the product?
It's very easy to run out of log space in a production environment which then quickly necessitates cost of service increases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Surfacing low-level issues that were being obscured by self-recovering processes or retrys.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Once you figure the initial installation and get yourself on the correct account tier, you can manage your own infrastructure's disc space by deleting local logs.

    Computer Software

Simple and easy to use but missing a lot of features

  • July 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's very simple to use and easy to get setup (support it good, their agents / log collection tools are good, etc.) There are lots of useful integrations. Overall it's reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's very expensive! And lacks a lot of useful features like advanced log parsing (papertrail only does full text search - sending it JSON formatted logs is pointless). There are other emerging feature-rich solutions at a [much] lower price point - we switched to LogDNA.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Papertrail is great for simple/basic log management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simple and easy to get started with but very expensive in the long run.
