Centralized logging has transformed how I monitor services and debug issues in real time
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Coralogix is to see logs. I initially used it for a logging system, so every user can see the logs. Logs are published via AWS to Coralogix, and I set up log-related alerts and observability to analyze metrics using dashboards. These are the major areas.
When I debug our system, I filter based on the service names that I have already published from the ingress logs. I have also published some MDC tags that are visible, so I filter based on the tags or a particular message or trace ID. This is how I do log analysis. For setting up alerts, I use an alerting dashboard where I set the queries for specific logs. If a log or log-related query appears more than five times within a specific timeframe, such as the last five minutes or one hour, I can raise an alert for errors like 4xx errors.
What is most valuable?
I have mainly used Coralogix for high scale logging, and I remember the unified observability feature where log metrics and traces can be seen together. I have not used it properly recently as we have moved to a different tool, but they started using AI-powered voice anomaly detection and stream data analytics, which I found useful.
I just remember that they started setting it up, and within four or five days, we started flowing logs into the Coralogix dashboard.
Coralogix was stable most of the time, but I would not say always.
What needs improvement?
The only improvement I remember is that the cost aspect is a bit more tedious. My company often did not store older logs due to the high cost. There were multiple tiers for querying high-priority logs and archiving low-priority ones. Sometimes, while filtering based on tags, it broke, but it was usually fixed. It would also be beneficial if I could see Kafka-related logs in the system, as we were using a separate system for Kafka.
I remember the OpenTelemetry configuration was not working properly in Coralogix. I am not sure if it is working now or not.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have around ten years of experience working in my current field.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Coralogix was stable most of the time, but I would not say always.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support was good. There is a chat option on the UI for immediate connection with the team, and if assistance is needed, they set up Zoom calls to help you. I would rate customer support nine out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have worked on multiple logging systems, and I would say Coralogix was the best among those. I find Coralogix to be one of the best tools. Currently, I am using Kibana, which is not as user-friendly and lacks fast aggregations compared to Coralogix, which worked really well.
How was the initial setup?
I remember that they started setting it up, and within four or five days, we started flowing logs into the Coralogix dashboard. The fast onboarding process allowed users to start working on it without issues, enabling everyone to see centralized alerts and logs during any issues with upstream or downstream services.
What was our ROI?
I cannot specify a return on investment, as every company assesses these things based on their tools. However, I find Coralogix to be one of the best tools.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Cost was the only major reason for switching from a different solution.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Coralogix is one place for all logs and analysis. I have not used such a tool. Coralogix is way ahead of its time compared to others I have seen in different companies. My company often did not store older logs due to the high cost. There were multiple tiers for querying high-priority logs and archiving low-priority ones.
What other advice do I have?
Coralogix is a tool you will not regret using.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Rapid error visibility has improved how I detect website failures and resolve them the same day
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Coralogix is to see failures in the system when there are failures. A specific example of when Coralogix helped me detect or resolve a failure in the system is when a user clicks a button on the website and a failure occurs; we see this failure in Coralogix.
What is most valuable?
In my opinion, the best feature of Coralogix is that it's convenient to look at errors. Everything together makes viewing errors convenient for me. Coralogix has positively impacted my organization in that we can quickly see the problem and quickly see where it might have occurred. I am now able to find and resolve problems the same day compared to how it was before.
What needs improvement?
I think Coralogix could be improved, but I appreciate everything currently available. What we have today is sufficient.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Coralogix for a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability of Coralogix as very good since I haven't noticed any problems.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability of Coralogix as easy; it's easy and goes faster.
How are customer service and support?
I have not contacted support.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to those considering implementing Coralogix is that it is a good tool for monitoring. I would rate this review a 9.
Real-time log insights have improved API troubleshooting and now speed up error detection
What is our primary use case?
My main use case with Coralogix has been to troubleshoot, narrow down the problem, understand the logs, and identify errors.
For troubleshooting or analyzing logs, we usually employ two methods. The first method is sorting by time, where we trigger an action and see in real-time if it appears or not. The second one involves using services. We know that some actions will trigger specific services, so we filter it by services and, after triggering it, we check if there is an error or a log trace to see in which service the error is happening.
What is most valuable?
The best features of Coralogix are the real-time logging and the filtering, which are what we use the most.
The real-time log feature helps me in my day-to-day work when I am trying to test some APIs; I expect to see the logs in real-time as I trigger them. The filtering helps us understand where the bottlenecks and deadlocks are, so when we send a request to a specific service, we filter it and monitor it. This way, we narrow down the problem; if it passes the services successfully, we know the issue lies elsewhere, not in that service.
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.
What needs improvement?
Coralogix has many features, but we usually use only these two, and the syntax has not been so straightforward. It was a bit difficult to write specific queries, so I have templates of specific queries where I just change the ID or the service. It is nice to see the whole picture, but it requires getting used to the program.
Coralogix can be improved by simplifying it. Perhaps, with AI now, it could allow users to write in plain text and then create the query automatically. The main pain issue for me with Coralogix was that the syntax was a little tricky. Although Coralogix has so many features, I mainly used only a few due to difficulties in knowing how to write them. It was also chained, making it a little tricky. Therefore, I created templates for easier usage. The potential of Coralogix is huge, but we used it this way since no one knew how to use it correctly. We once had a session explaining all the features, but we took very little from it as it was difficult for us. With many microservices, it was sometimes tricky to understand where the data goes. I often activated multiple services to track the flow and would sometimes need extra time to grasp it. I believe now, with AI, it can be improved, allowing for easier queries created from plain text.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is very fine as we add more and more microservices.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support at Coralogix is great. We have used them several times, and when we had trouble finding something, they guided us on how to redefine our query to obtain the results we needed.
I would rate the customer support a ten, as they helped us effectively.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before choosing Coralogix, I evaluated other options, including Splunk, which I find very similar to Coralogix. However, I believe Coralogix is more powerful than Splunk.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been transparent since I am only the engineer using it.
What other advice do I have?
I can confidently say that I experienced faster troubleshooting after using Coralogix.
When I did not find the problem in my Azure logs, which are often trivial issues, I typically use the heavy cannon like Coralogix. It sometimes took me time to investigate, but I usually find solutions there. For me, it was not time-saving but more a solution-saver, which is very important.
We are using different types of logs concurrently, such as Azure.
I would rate Coralogix an eight.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Cheap, but Buggy and Half-Baked Releases Make Upgrades Feel Like Beta Tests
What do you like best about the product?
The price is quite cheap and there is support that is generally available, which is good as you'll be using them quite a lot.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is incredibly buggy, features and releases are half baked, every upgrade is beta testing their code and it often fails and we have to rollback. It is no where near as intuitive or easy to use as other OBS platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're currently sending, logs, traces, metrics, and profiling to coralogix.
Monitoring dashboards have improved performance visibility and reduce troubleshooting time
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Coralogix is that it's a great application performance monitoring tool. I use it to take care of the services through it. I set up the dashboard here for all the types of services and routes to check whenever we receive any kind of error response, time request, or issues.
What is most valuable?
The best features Coralogix offers include the ability for any organization, institution, or any kind of project owner to migrate their data to Coralogix. Coralogix has the best feature to do the migration. If we are using Grafana or any other type such as Elasticsearch, Splunk, or Datadog, we are easily able to migrate our data to Coralogix with their features. I really appreciate how they migrate directly by just exporting and importing it.
My experience with the migration process was really straightforward and quick as compared to other tools.
I want to mention that as compared to other application performance monitoring tools, this APM tool specifically has a really good looking dashboard that is very attractive and very easy to use.
After implementing Coralogix, I noticed specific outcomes and improvements. Whenever we try to fetch the data or check the monitoring logs, the spikes, the bars, and the graphs open very quickly. The latency is really very low and it opens everything very fast. It works very fast, which I really appreciate. This makes a good impact on our organization.
What needs improvement?
I think Coralogix can be improved by setting up some AI type of tool inside it which can help new users. Whenever they face any kind of issue or troubleshooting problem, I know that they already share a user guide whenever we try to set up and install Coralogix and use it for the first time. However, I would prefer an AI feature as per current trends. AI is coming into most tools, so I would prefer the same for Coralogix.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Coralogix for more than four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Coralogix is really stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Coralogix's scalability is working well. It is totally scalable and not an issue.
How are customer service and support?
Throughout the three to four years I have been using Coralogix, I didn't get any chance to connect directly with the customer support team. However, one of my friends used to talk to the customer care support. His personal official ID got crashed when he was trying to log in after a month. He tried to contact the customer care team by their toll-free number, and they helped him out very easily by connecting with him.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use a different solution after Coralogix.
What was our ROI?
I see a return on investment in time saving. Fewer employees is a scenario that mostly comes under the NOC team. Fewer employees might not be the solution which can help with this because it's an application performance monitoring tool. For monitoring, we always need multiple employees.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am not aware of the pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Coralogix, as this comes under the business analyst, marketing team, and pre-sales team. I am from the technical line.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Coralogix, I did not evaluate other options. In the first option, I already had Coralogix available, so I chose it after the demo.
What other advice do I have?
Coralogix has not impacted my organization in a bad manner. We are the customer here who uses Coralogix in our day-to-day work, and Coralogix is doing great. It's working very well. We had no such kind of issue with it. I would give Coralogix a rating of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. I give it a 10 because it works really fast and mostly because of its attractive look. I would advise others looking into using Coralogix to just try to use it for once. You will really appreciate their attractive dashboard and the way they show the performance of the application. Overall, I rate this product a 10 out of 10.
User-Friendly UI and Powerful AI Support for Custom Dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
The Coralogix UI is pleasant to use and very user-friendly. I appreciate the AI (LLM) support for Dataprime queries, which makes it easy to create custom dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, they make changes to the portal in the backend without providing customers with proper updates beforehand. This lack of communication can be frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coralogix enables us to manage and analyze large volumes of logs and security events in real time without feeling overwhelmed. Its smart alerting system reduces unnecessary noise, while the dashboards simplify investigations. Overall, it allows us to detect and respond to issues much more quickly.
Seamless Data Integration and Powerful SIEM Features
What do you like best about the product?
We have used Coralogix for both SIEM and APM processes. One of the best aspects of Coralogix is the ability to integrate any data source quickly and perform comprehensive correlation. The SIEM features also assist us with threat intelligence and geo-location IP filtering.
What do you dislike about the product?
Everything is going great so far. Nothing for now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bringing together all data sources from a SIEM perspective into a single platform offers several advantages. It enables comprehensive end-to-end correlation, provides straightforward dashboarding and alerting features, and is generally easy to use.
