"The best tool you can find to monitor Serverless functions"

5/5

What do you like best about Lumigo?

- The amount of details it shows of every Lambda function you have

- The possibility to tag them so that you can easily filter out what does not require your attention at the moment

- The huge amount of log data available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumigo?

I miss an introductory walk-through for new uses. It is true that if you know AWS and Serverless there is no such a difference to make this learning too steep, but it would be helpful to other less experienced users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Serverless Monitoring and Troubleshooting Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Lumigo?

We are able to quickly surface issues and communicate the issues across multiple accounts in one centralized tool! No, logging into multiple accounts, or linking to multiple log groups. We are able to convey the important information sharing links within the platform to raise system issues. We also found this tool quite useful in conjunction with Load and Stress tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumigo?

While the documentation present and is a new offering, I have struggled configuring the containerized monitoring tool. Otherwise, the Lumigo team has been quite receptive to feedback and keeping their product cutting edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumigo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a comprehensive serverless monitoring and troubleshooting tool to manage our numerous serverless solutions across our organization. With the number of applications in both prod and non-prod and the number of AWS accounts these solutions reside in, we needed a single view to move on system issues faster and in a more organized way. This has done just that. Our teams can quickly use to the tool to root cause an issue and come to resolution faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Monitoring and Alerting with Lumigo"

5/5

What do you like best about Lumigo?

Lumigo gave us an immediate look into our system and we were able to immediately flag some areas that needed our attention. Their customer support is by far one of the best ones I've seen so far, they take feature requests seriously and are always very responsive to our needs. The integration was very smooth for the serverless (lambdas) part which was very appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumigo?

The container support was not as easy to implement as the serverless part, but it is to be understood since it's a new capability of the system. The pricing can become steep for smaller companies once you need higher usage than the public tiers advertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Big boost to a software engineer quality of life."

5/5

What do you like best about Lumigo?

I like how intuitive it is. The tracing feature and the Timeline feature has proven to be extremely helpful. Proably what I like the most about Lumigo. The usage information of different AWS resources is very well presented. The main dashboard is used daily. Customer support is extremely good. They schedule cadence calls to answer any questions and show all features. Adding a new stack to Lumigo is not hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumigo?

I have been using it for almost a year. As a user it is hard to find something I don't like about Lumigo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Observability done right"

5/5

What do you like best about Lumigo?

It gives us confidence. We have thousands of lambdas and are actively using 15+ serverless products, and Lumigo allows us to monitor and diagnose performance issues with ease. Alerts come directly into our slack channels for instant alerting and group discussion on identifying and solving the problem. The automatic capture of event and payload data is seamless and excellent for debugging, without the headache of using CloudWatch logs.

We have tried several tools over the years, and Lumigo puts them all to shame. There is a wealth of valuable tracking data to help with everything from memory tuning of lambdas for cost savings, to speed optimisation by analysing the timeline of an invocation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumigo?

We would love to be able to trace a sample percentage of invocations, as some high-volume lambdas can eat into our monthly trace allocation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best in class modern troubleshooting toolkit"

5/5

What do you like best about Lumigo?

The UI is what got me to use Lumigo in the first place. Anyone who has used AWS or Azure logging knows how out-dated the interface for services like Cloudwatch can feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumigo?

The pricing categories seem to discourage you from using the service too much, this is certainly a difficult problem for SaaS businesses to tackle, at least Lumigo staff have been mostly supportive in this area and to be fair to them, it is a simple and straight forward plan as opposed to hidden fees and extras for this and that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumigo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having lots of serverless micro-services as well as containers usually calls for a whole separate stack such as ELK or similar, which not only requires setting up, but maintaining, and their own learning curve, which we can just skip using something as beautifully designed as Lumigo. It solves a clear problem of observability, in an elegant way consistently through out various challenging setups such as serverless, containers, Kubernetes etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lighting the way to debugger friendly serverless programming"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Lumigo?

It makes my development process much easier and much more efficient. I am able to see exactly what is happening behind the scenes and can resolve issues quicker. Live Tail and Service Request Flow Map are my two favourite features, with the Alerting coming in a close third. The Issues tab is super handy to come back to to deal with issues I am not currently busy with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumigo?

There is nothing I dislike about Lumigo. There are a few areas I think could be improved. I think the dashboard view could do with some love. It feels like the widgets are a bit generic and were the bare minimum to enable a dashboard view. I would really enjoy being able to customise those widgets more. Different types of graphs, multiple lambdas in one graph, more grid options to resize the widgets, etc. I spent ALOT of time working with Dynatrace and I was spoiled for choice there with the dashboard customisability, so that is what I long for with Lumigo.

I definitely enjoy the technical review sessions, however I was slightly dissapointed with the most recent one since we went over all the functionality I am already using. It felt like the presenter was expecting to present to someone who hasn't used Lumigo much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Functionally rich, robust and user-friendly Serverless monitoring tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Lumigo?

* Linking related invocations together through transactions so that you can follow the full journey of that user.

* The live 'Explore' capability to find and filter down through a huge amount of data to exactly what you need in near real-time is awesome.

* Execution tags are incredibly useful when debugging.

* I love the control center for managing alerts and muting them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumigo?

* The agent for Python is missing support for the DB library that we use, so we can't see the communication with Aurora (there are some libs supported, just not ours!)

* The alert configuration could be more advanced to allow AND / OR rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ultimate pathfinder in the serverless world"

5/5

What do you like best about Lumigo?

In a world of microservices and serverless architecture, Lumigo helps to keep all the small things together and fully understand/monitor your environment. Onboarding goes smoothly and takes seconds, the UI is intuitive and has a dark mode:) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumigo?

On a high scale, some features work relatively slowly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
