One stop solution for infrastructure insights!

I used this to manage my infra and this has really helped me a lot to understand the usage pattern of the app and also helps in safely predicting when the load will be high and when it will be low. Finding out memory leaks for JVM has also been very easy when I was trying to get insights about GC and JVM pool.

What they liked

- Very detailed reports - Installing an agent happens in a jiffy - Very intuitive UI - Good support from the Sematext team

Room for improvement

- Documentation missing for old agents - Ubuntu < 16 - Agent once crashed - cause is still unknown

Switched From

I wanted to get a detailed report of each of the metrics over a time period. Sematext does that. Also for JVM monitoring I couldn't get anything better than this.

Why they chose it

"JVM monitoring just stole the deal for me. Also, the help from their support team while I was setting it up on my production instances - it was amazing."

Worth switching from other logging aggregation

Satisfied but need more time to evaluate

What they liked
  • I just switch from ELK
  • Sematext is a surprise to me
  • It is so easy to integrate and so easy to use
  • The web UI is so intuitive and the query syntax is so easy to use even if you are not a technical guy
  • Compared to ELK, it is a real cloud service, you never need to worry about you lose the logs
Room for improvement
  • I haven’t found so far
  • Only thing is the price is a little bit high for a standup
Switched From

It is hard to install, maintain. The UI and query is so hard to use.

IoT log monitoring made easy

We have been monitoring a fleet of IoT devices with Sematext. Using it we can quickly send data from the devices and analyze it later, making feature development faster and debugging way easier.

What they liked
  • Easy to use and extremely fast to filter log data
  • Ready-to-use Java and Android libraries made integration a very fast process
  • Main UI is very similar to Kibana, and it also provides the full experience if you need it
  • Fast and knowledgeable tech support
Room for improvement
  • There are rare instances where the UI becomes unresponsive or slow
Why they chose it

"We needed a self-managed/cloud solution to focus on our product and Sematext enabled a very fast integration."

Advance and special next generation monitoring tool

Verified reviewer

What they liked
  • Sematext let easily develop interfaces to retrieve logs for test application
  • The pricing model - the cost per month are exactly predictable
  • Sematext give us beautiful insights of Infrastructure by fetching logs of remote end point
Room for improvement

The pricing structure is a little bit costly in my opinion and Needs more integrations with security tools for better optimally use

Much More Than Log Aggregation

Sematext is a proven and reliable offering, without a single outage I can recall in the past 2.5 years. The customer support is amazing and queries are answered without fail within a couple of hours. They are constantly working on the product and increasing their offerings. They offer customers the chance to trial new products and give feedback, which is fantastic. We use Sematext for: * Log Aggregation * Monitoring and Alerting * Incident Investigation * Log Retention * Debugging I love how we can easily set up alerts on logs and receive Slack or OpsGenie notifications when events occur. I would highly recommend Sematext as a vendor.

What they liked

* Super Reliable * Excellent Customer Support * Constantly Adding Features * Constantly Improving

Room for improvement
  • There are very few things not to like about this software and company
  • The way accounts are set up, where you have to log in then "become" the account owner to see your logs is strange, and needs to be explained to each new user

Way more than a log tool

Sematex has become increasingly essential in our tool set. It goes far beyond a simple log manager, delivering valuable information from this huge amount of data.

What they liked
  • Sematex has impressed us in recent months for its ability to deliver robust tools for analyzing and mining the information present in our logs
  • Through its customizable Dashboards, we can analyze very important statistics both to characterize the behavior of our users and to help us identify problems in our code
Room for improvement
  • The experience of using the Sematex interface has improved a lot, but it is not always so intuitive to find the resources we want
  • Reading the logs is also not as clean as I would like to see
Why they chose it

"Sematex seems easier to setup and use."

A cool managed service coming from seemingly technically versed people

Easy setup, no-headache operations, flexible and instant sizing and fantastic technical support

What they liked
  • Fantastic technical support, even feature requests (for sematext-agent) were sometimes implemented within hours
  • Sematext even setup its EU data center (partly) on our request
  • Thank you very much
Room for improvement

Business arrangements like a custom contract or plan sizes are not so easy and speedy to "implement" - but that's only a non-technical issue in the case of bigger probably public corporations

Log Aggregation that works

Verified reviewer

What they liked

- Choice of Sematexts own simple UI, and Kibana - Easy to integrate, since the API supports a number of common standards (elasticsearch, syslogd)

Room for improvement
  • - User Management could be improved, members added to the team have to switch to the team sphere, even if they dont have and apps configured themselves - Missing feature: Filtering the context view (e
  • g
  • if there is an exception, displaying its context works, but I cannot limit that context)

Works as expected

Verified reviewer

What they liked
  • The UI is quite easy to use, intuitive, does not reinvent the wheel
Room for improvement
  • Setting up logging from a serverless nodejs app was quite complicated
  • I could not get the logsene-sematext library provided by Sematext to work and I could not find a solid documentation for how to use the log API myself
  • Luckily, the library is open source so I could figure out how to post log messages directly from the source code
Why they chose it

"Vercel offered log integration with this product."
