Overall Satisfaction with Loggly
We tried Loggly in some of our servers for the monitoring and alerting of log files. We used it with Nginx on Ubuntu Linux. The problem was that it was too painful to monitor logs and find the necessary information without an app because logs are huge and you must log in every day with SSH and inspect all logs
- Implementation. The implementation was pretty straight forward and worked very well. Also, it has a Laravel package.
- Alerting. Creating alerts with emails or Slack was a piece of cake.
- Filtering. Filter your logs was very easy and fast.
- UI is very simple and easy to use.
- Price. If you compare it to other similar apps it is very pricey. Especially for storage and user limitations.
- Amazon S3 archiving is only for the pro package. Other apps give it for free.
- I was checking logs 1/5 of time compared to before.
- I was having Slack integration and alerting was immediate.
- Some times integration may take some more CPU power.
Loggly had the best parsing and also UI was very easy for the beginner that wants to track some logs and patterns. Anomaly pattern was very good feature. Also, alerting on Loggly was very easy to setup. The Logsense setup was very bad and painful. Sematext had very good UI, but setup was not easy and the CPU load was more than acceptable. Stackify was very good and has easy setup, but, unfortunately, had very high CPU usage.
Logentries UI was pretty good, the price is very good but fails in some parsing entries. Amazon has the lowest CPU usage and price but you have to set up and configure everything. No UI.
