Logz.io Reviews

Logz.io is most popular logging and tracing tool which generates great and easy to read logs for our applications what we can use for performance monitoring or issue troubleshooting. The quality of details the logs contains, are fantastic.

There are nothing to dislike this tool as whatever we are expecting from a logging tool, it offers the same. Even the pricing also withing the range of competitors.

Logz.io helped me to improve performance of my application by monitoring logs for APIs. It also made my job easy for troubleshooting my application issues with help of error logs.

Logz.io is one of the excellent logging tool which offers easy to integrate with other applications for failure detection and generate logs with great descriptions. Description are clear enough to troubleshoot the issue quickly.

I didn't find any dislikes about logz.io as this servers everything for what it is been developed for. Only on documentation it can do some improvements for better understanding.

Logz.io helped us to generate and track reasons of errors when any code break happens. It creates logs which help us to fix the issue ASAP as the reason if code break is much clear in logs.

It's easy to use various meta-fields for filtering logs (e.g., the service printing the log, log level, time frame, context, etc.). In addition, a very useful feature is to define alerts with Slack integartion. For example, trigger an alert to a dedicated Slack channel in case a log message matching some pattern appears.

I find working with regular expressions not clear. However, I might not be that familiar with the regex syntax.

The problem they're trying to solve is to display, monitor and analyze system logs with a simple and efficient UI, including integration with other tools (e.g., Slack and tracing tools such as Jaeger). It is benefiting me because as a software developer, I need an automatic tool to alert me when error or warning logs appear so immediate action can take place. Other use cases are searching for logs when there is a need to investigate a bug.

It provides a scalable and secure way to centralise logs from different sources, such as servers, applications, and cloud platforms.

Sometimes search works slowly for a large amount of data.

We can search and filter logs using a powerful query language easily.

Analysing the live logs. Which is awesome.

The interface is bit confusing sometimes

The ease of changing time frames and adding/subtracting things from searches, where all you have to do is click the little + or - next to a search result. Thats the best part.

What I dislike the most on logzio is the limit of 1000 results in your search, and its rather difficult to be able to figure our commands/shortcuts you can enter into the search field to make your searches more efficient.

Logz.io solves the need to filter through different text files or logs on servers to figure out where an issue lies, instead you can just enter the search you're looking for and it will scour through all of the logz that it can find.

The easy process of integration to other applications, it was a very quick process and very clear.

Creating reports are also very convenient for understanding problems and improve the software constantly

The complication in creating dashboards, I think it could be more intuitive and easy to use.

Even finding the menu for the dashboard is not very intuitive. I believe it can be improved

Very easy to integrate to many softwares

Finding causes for bugs and issues reported by users without looking into the code.

Getting insights from the code for better improvement.

Getting alerts for fatal errors that should be checked right away

* Easy to set up and implement

* Excellent support staff

* Good documentation and training materials

* Great in-page chat feature to chat with support agents

Since it's a growing platform, some features that we had hoped for are not yet available, but they are constantly growing the platform and working on feature requests my team and I have requested.

Look at all of the features it has to offer and compare them to Logz.io. Since we were leveraging SolarWinds for other purposes, we were initially going to consider using SolarWinds Loggly, but I'm glad we found Logz.io and decided on that platform. It's a standard ELK-based platform without all of the overhead and costs associated with a large ELK platform.

We are leveraging Logz.io as a central log aggregation platform. This has allowed us to view all of our logs in one central location, create alerts, dashboards, visualizations, etc. It has been very useful for us in many ways.

I also like that it has the option to store logs in AWS S3 which allows us to re-ingest or restore logs if needed - or simply review them from the S3 bucket directly.

Most helpful is the filtering and time based searches available on Logz.io.

Because we have such an extensive system and all units are logging, it takes a while to fine tune the searches. But once in, those searches are saved and can be rerun with their own fine tuning. This saves an enormous amount of time. Everyone on the team from DevOps to developers to QA to management see the benefit of saved Open searches.

The learning curve was a little bit slow, but once we had the teams coordinate with DevOps who are introducing the tools, we made a big jump in our capabilities and the usage of the tool is both appreciated and contributing to our outcomes.

From QA to DevOps and business analytics, we definitely see the benefits of Logz.io and Kibana. Love the graphics it allows us to create and recreate too. Logzio is helping us to catch things we didn't even know were happening...very powerful.

A huge shout out to the team at Logz.io for making this happen ... shipping metrics from Windows containers running on AKS. Yes, I said Windows containers!!! So, if you have both Linux and Windows workloads, you get cpu, ram and network io visibility in Logz.io. Outstanding!

Previous to this, they made it possible to surface logs from Windows containers too by shipping logs from the Windows Nodes negating the need for sidecars, logging agents or pushing directly from your apps.

If you want your ELK stack as a managed service (reducing the cost of in-house dedicated infra as well as removing the maintenance overhead, freeing up Engineers' time to focus on your core business) with a level of support which will simply blow your mind, then reach out to Logz.io.
