Overall Satisfaction with Logz.io
We currently use Logz.io as our primary logging tool for our applications. This is managed by the engineering department. Our primary use case for these logs is troubleshooting and monitoring of errors our production and test environments.
Pros
- Alerting - Logz.io allows you to set up numerous alerts and define the specific conditions to trigger these alerts, such as the number of occurrences over a specific period of time and severity.
- Notifications - The supported integrations with Slack and OpsGenie make it easy to set up alerts to specific groups or users, like those in a particular Slack room or OpsGenie group. This is good to reduce noise and limit initial notifications to those who really need to get it.
Cons
- Cost - In our evaluation to compare multiple error monitoring solutions, Logz.io scored lower than all the others we trialed, which I believe has limited us somewhat in potential solutions using the logging data.
- Retention - The 40-day retention period has been a big disadvantage when trying to investigate incidents that occurred prior to the last 40 days.
- I don't have this information as a user of the product. However, the cost has come up as a drawback compared to other solutions available.

Evaluating Logz.io and Competitors
Yes - We were using a homegrown system for logging before we switched to Logz.io. We decided to replace it so we could focus our efforts on our primary product's roadmap initiatives without having to support a product along the way that could easily be replaced with an out-of-the-box solution created by those who specialize in that area.
