Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Loggly
Loggly is being used by all of our applications across the company by our engineering staff. Loggly helps our engineers accurately filter and sort logs to help debugging test and production code. To help our engineers with debugging their code our Loggly system is setup to work with SolarWinds AppOptics to pin-point errors when they occur.
Pros
- Easily takes sys-log connections from an app's standard output.
- Easy to navigate the user interface.
- Begins ingesting logs as soon as the connection to an app is made.
Cons
- Having to add users to Loggly after having created them in AppOptics could be improved.
- When search parameters are too specific Loggly often has a hard time filtering for what I'm looking for.
- While it's easy to navigate, the UI isn't very pretty.
- Increased use of logging software.
- Integration with APM software
- Easier to navigate logging system.
ROI
Yes - LogDNA, the cost of which was too high for just logging. We changed to Loggly because it works with AppOptics application monitoring.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
Product Features was the most important factor in the decision. The main feature being APM integration.
