We are building a reconciliation system where we handle the in and out of transactions daily. We maintain a record to verify if transactions came at the expected time and match them with the bank statement. We also deal with Kafka and pod failures, high Kafka lag, and have integrated Grafana with Coralogix to monitor Kafka lag on each topic.

Top-Notch Logs anomaly detection
Central place for monitoring application performance
Coralogix expands to application performance as well via APM, making it perfect tool for monitoring. Best part is the customer support executive's responses. It is fast and reliable.
And now we are using it for our APM also.
HelpFul in in-depth analysis of logs and APM
Live logs is an awesome feature, which help you debug issue on the spot.
Cherry on top is alerting tools, very helpful in proactive monitoring.
Has all the features but lacks finess
Coralogix as SIEM
As cyber security analyst it really and quickly help us to deploy the SIEM use case for various security controller and ready to monitor and investigate alerts in SOC.
Watchlist facilities SOC analyst to add newly founded IoCs from various threat intelligence to monitor advance /current threat in my company . if you guys add this feature in upcoming release this would really help in SOC.
Good platform for centralize log, APM & metrics + Cost effective
You can manage logs based on your access level, and the platform provides daily resetting units for efficient log management.
Coralogix - My partner in assisting operational chores
I personally liked the ease to do all of them over coralogix. Prominent factor for me around exploring coralogix, is 24*7 customer support, where people are there to guide & clear my queries.
I keep attending their webinars as well, where they share about the new features being introduced.
Moreover, its integration over slack channel, is also very smooth, with few clicks and all done.
So, few things, which I feel may be worked upon are
- Ease of creating custom dashboards from existing metrics. Rather than copying queries and using them in my dashboard, just having drag and drop functionality would be to much help.
- Correlation of request flow among multiple services, seems to have scope of improvement, as compared to new relic service
- Any simpler way to download only useful data from logs, rather than complete set of logs, with so much un necessary information. Like, if I need a set of particular order id from all the logs, to be downloaded. I could not find any straight forward way to do so
- Alerting: Automatic notification where something fails in production
- Custom Dashboard: To have other useful metrices at one place
- APM: Analyse prominient metrices during downtime or post deployment observability
- Logs analysis: Ease to analyse the issue in production
One glance Monitoring
Also, APM provides real-time insights into our application behavior, linking logs, metrics, and traces to give a complete picture of system health.
Integration with AWS metrics and logs is quite easy and helps to have everything needed for Monitoring and observability at one place.
Coralogix is good solution for log analysis!
Efficient monitoring with precise time range selection boosts daily transaction reconciliation
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
One of the most valuable features of Coralogix is its time range feature, which allows us to specify a time range and get the exact logs needed. This feature is frequently used by our team. Coralogix also allows us to query in a way similar to querying a database, but this is not commonly known among our team members.
What needs improvement?
We need to reduce the number of logs generated by our system, which are substantial. We require some form of grouping or categorization of logs to identify them better. Additionally, we find that the user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Coralogix for around one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There was an instance where we faced difficulty understanding why there was a lot of Kafka lag. The aggregation process in Coralogix makes it hard to see the exact metric. For example, high CPU usage on one pod can be averaged out by others, concealing potential issues. This averaging can sometimes be troublesome.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten. We have never faced any scalability issues.
How are customer service and support?
The support team is doing well. They are helpful, especially when we created several custom dashboards.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward and easy to integrate with Coralogix. Creating a custom dashboard depends on the team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is expensive. We need to reduce logs to manage costs. Despite the expense, I believe it is worth the money to have Coralogix as a tool.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I would recommend considering New Relic, as it is a big competitor. New Relic provides specific metrics for each function and line of code, which is beneficial.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Coralogix eight out of ten overall. While I recommend Coralogix, New Relic has advantages in specific areas.
