Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The cloud login enables us to get our logs from the different platforms that we currently use.""I like the monitoring feature.""Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well.""Provides visibility into the performance uptime.""Google's technical support is very good.""The features that I have found most valuable are its graphs - if I need any statistics, in Kubernetes or Kong level or VPN level, I can quickly get the reports.""We find the solution to be stable.""It's easy to use."

"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable.""It is simple.""It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers.""It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments.""Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product.""I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity.""Power packs.""ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."

Cons
"It could be more stable.""The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient.""It could be even more automated.""While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace.""The logging functionality could be better.""Lacking sufficient operations documentation.""This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana.""If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."

More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Cons →

"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot.""They should add CLI command modes​ and scripts for high performance.""They should improve their support process and add chat.""The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment.""ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier.""I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services.""ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others.""Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."

    Overview

    Real-time log management and analysis

    Cloud Logging is a fully managed service that performs at scale and can ingest application and platform log data, as well as custom log data from GKE environments, VMs, and other services inside and outside of Google Cloud. Get advanced performance, troubleshooting, security, and business insights with Log Analytics, integrating the power of BigQuery into Cloud Logging.

    Built-in metrics observability at scale

    Cloud Monitoring provides visibility into the performance, uptime, and overall health of cloud-powered applications. Collect metrics, events, and metadata from Google Cloud services, hosted uptime probes, application instrumentation, and a variety of common application components. Visualize this data on charts and dashboards and create alerts so you are notified when metrics are outside of expected ranges.

    Stand-alone managed service for running and scaling Prometheus

    Managed Service for Prometheus is a fully managed Prometheus-compatible monitoring solution, built on top of the same globally scalable data store as Cloud Monitoring. Keep your existing visualization, analysis, and alerting services, as this data can be queried with PromQL or Cloud Monitoring.

    Monitor and improve your application's performance

    Application Performance Management (APM) combines the monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities of Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring with Cloud Trace and Cloud Profiler to help you reduce latency and cost so you can run more efficient applications.
