Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Papertrail

Papertrail is our primary logging service for several web apps and microservices. It does exactly what we need: aggregates logs in real-time from various sources and supports fast search capability.
  • Real-time tail and search
  • Custom alerts and notifications
  • Filters incoming logs that match one or more strings or regex
  • More precise search results, though maybe I am not using optimal syntax
  • Lower cost would be nice
  • We save hours of engineering time each week and for a small team that's very important.
Papertrail is faster and easier to use. Simplicity and ease of use are really important to our team.

We love Papertrail. It's very easy to set up and use. It has a powerful and flexible alerts/notification engine. Because logs can be verbose and Papertrail isn't the cheapest solution on the market, it's important that you take the extra time to set up log filtering. We tried a few other offerings first, but they were too complex and had a steeper learning curve for non-technical users. Papertrail however was approachable for every team member, including non-technical users.
