There is multiple reasons. All types are logging messages support not only string msg. We can use parametrized variables for logging Support advance filter for logging like (Data, Markers, Regular Expression) Support Plugin Architecture (We just use the dependency and Layout configuration with minimal config, and this will start to work) Integration support with application server Could enable.

Anytime we need to make any kind of log on any platform that we use, LogDNA is well suited. It is primarily used for logging errors on our server but also used for checking issues within our iOS apps when we need to identify a critical issue that is occurring. The search feature is very very good!

It's really easy to use and powerful. But at a few times, the UI may feel sluggish, which is a bit expected, since it's displaying live stream of heavy data.

It is very very good. They are responsive and very helpful. They also take the time to walk you through the issues you are having. But honestly, it is so straightforward that you rarely need to get support from their team. They are very helpful when you do need their support though.

The ability to customize logging levels and manage log files is superior to other products we have looked at; due to this we selected to go with log4j.

LogDNA was already setup when I started and it is offered through Heroku so that's why it was chosen. It's also cheaper I believe. Compared to Logentries, it does the same thing.
