Good detailed product--at a price
What do you like best about the product?
Full range of features, alerting capabilities, the breath of supported devices
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost mostly, and their sales force--very, very pushy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instant notifications of downed devices, hardware or application issues--through a single interface
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have the budget, SW is a wonderful product. We don't use it for many of our devices (especially Cisco netflows) just because of the costs. If you use the app monitoring tools, it can give you great insight into your applications, ie VMware and Windows. And the Virtualization Manager is a great add-in with a deep-dive into your hypervisor, but again, it's oppressively expensive.

Master of Performance Recommendations and Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Proactive alerts helped me reduce downtime. PerfStack allows me to drag, drop, and overlay performance metrics from our systems data and multiple sources and data types on a single chart.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say any dislike about the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analyzed storage I/O performance and made forward plans according to these reports.
VMAN - Excellent Manager
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way it helps me optimize performance in vSphere. Also I can solve some issues with it. It works great as a capacity planning tool. Nowadays the capacity of the platforma is everything so having this tool helps me control expansions that i need in my infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the reports. It should have more opening with the customized reports. The predictive recommendations didn't work as planned. The alerts didn't have enugh information. Also didn't work with some applications in my VM
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infrastructure. Virtualization clusters
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a great tool. Its a great capacity planning tool, needs some needs some improvement
Minimal setup, Reasonable cost, excellent utility
What do you like best about the product?
I like that with Loggly and some software(Winston, Fluentd) I can capture, interrogate and analyze my application's log output across a variety of deployment platforms and arrangements.
I can log both my development and live servers to the same system and either join or separate their content at will. The existing collection tools for Loggly are very strong and the setup for those tools is incredibly easy. Beyond that they offer the necessary endpoints and formats to receive logs from a wide variety of candidates.
Everything from system logs on various servers to application and routing logs from custom solutions is available.
Loggly essentially runs an Elastic Stack on behalf of the user, and having set up some similar solutions to test, I can declare with confidence that the time and energy saved by *not* rolling my own logging solution(and thereby having to maintain my maintenance tools) is beyond measure.
Support is quick and helpful within reason, I've had nothing resembling a technical difficult caused by failure on Loggly's part.

What do you dislike about the product?
Cos:, While I think the price is reasonable for the amount of work saved, and at $99 a month it pays for itself immediately, placing things like the LiveTail feature(emulating tail -f) at a $250 a month price point is disappointing. Features like that are excellent at every level and I'm simply never gonna convince my superiors to spend more on our log solution than on the live servers it monitors.
Finicky: It's a pain to get your log data arranged so that the various features of the system come into play correctly. I still periodically get unparsed log entries because 2 consecutive log entries had different object signatures for the same field(including single objects vs arrays).
Query Language: There are a few ways to filter/limit data for display and analysis with Loggly, but sometimes things don't work like you think they will and it's not always clear why. Somtimes a query for field:'2' finds objects with field=2, but sometimes it finds nothing whatsoever. When this happens there's always doubt as to whether you structured your query wrong or if there's literally no data meeting the criteria to be found.

Logs for server-side code are a right pain. Parsing and analyzing logs from a cluster of containers all outputting logs directly to console.log is a nightmare.
Simply put Loggly offers a robust system with simple inputs that allows you to funnel log data to a common, web-accessible location where it can be stored and interacted with in a number of robust ways. Before Loggly our hands were often tied if a user complaint fell into server code, there was simply not an easy way to parse logs from several servers, some of which may have been drained and terminated, and meaningfully determine what was going on.
Loggly gave me the ability to search and sort log data to find the source of problems.
Within a week of completing our integration of Loggly we were discovering the source and profile of bugs that had eluded us for 6 months.
With further adaptation of our web app to the new logging approach, we can start to see traffic patterns and analyse user behavior from the logs as well.
Lastly, Loggly prevents us from taking on a new maintenance and development project in order to analyze our main maintenance and development project. Loggly lets us break the potentially infinite chain of working on tools to work on tools.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at their integrations, determine if you can use their tools to build the sort of structure you need.
Spend some real dev time reducing log noise(we ran a search for "console.log" and removed all of them, then went back and started adding calls to our logger explicitly and carefully) and building in the necessary components to standardize the log entry process.
Look into Fluentd, it's excellent for routing, filtering and translating logs, it can help as an adapter to make sure Loggly gets what it needs from where it needs.
