Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Loggly
We use SolarWinds Loggly extensively in our cloud offerings, not across the whole organization. Using Loggly allows us to focus on real business needs, instead of development and management in-house log solution. Loggly helps a lot with troubleshooting searching, filtering, usage analysis, and graphical presentation of logs. The best feature is easy narrowing down of results by log message parameters.
Pros
- Intuitive step-by-step filtering by message attributes.
- Collapsing/extending log event data.
- Flexible log list presentation with selection of attributes to present.
- Graphical presentation of log events.
Cons
- Ability to filter out specific type of messages from the list to focus on important ones. Filter by example.
- Ability to send separate streams with cheaper cost and deeper storage, slower access times on demand only in specific cases.
- Negative: cost is not cheap, we sometimes go over quota and loose logs for the rest of the day.
- Positive: we don't invest in logging development/maintenance.
