Coralogix vs Sematext Logs comparison

Sematext Logs is a cloud-based SaaS log management solution that offers you real-time actionable insights into your log analytics with hosted ELK as a service, in the cloud or on-premises. Logs can be aggregated from a variety of sources using it because it's compatible with a large number of log shippers, libraries, platforms, and frameworks. Sematext’s auto-discovery of logs and services lets you automatically start log monitoring from both log files and containers and forward them directly through the user interface. Sematext Logs features sophisticated full-text searching, filtering, and tagging capabilities and allows you to correlate logs with infrastructure and application metrics within a single dashboard.

Just some of the things you can do with Sematext Logs

• Integration with other Sematext Cloud components, such as Infrastructure Monitoring, Synthetics, and Experience. For example, you can have dashboards with widgets from any component, so you can see which error caused that CPU spike
• Spike-friendly pricing. Ingestion is averaged out and calculated on top of the “base” plan. For example, if you have the cheapest paid plan ($50/month, supports 1GB/day) and send 60GB in a month (2GB per day, on average), you end up paying $100
• Configurable overage – you can choose when Sematext stops accepting logs, to control your cost
• Per-silo pricing. You can create multiple “apps”, for example, Production and QA. Each can have its own plan (volume, retention) and overage configuration
• Agent-free: any log shipper or library that works with syslog or Elasticsearch will work with Sematext Logs
• Elasticsearch API access beyond indexing: you can run searches, export data, create custom templates, and more
• Extra features on top of the ELK stack are available, such as role-based access control, alerting, and anomaly detection
