"We send logs. LogDNA parses logs. We can search. (In short: it works)"
4/5
What do you like best about Mezmo?

Simplicity. We send logs (via Aptible). We go and search for those logs when we need to. We had to do minimal setup to make it work. Setting up archiving to S3 was a breeze. (We used to do our own Elasticsearch thing. It was horrible.)

Oh, alerts! It is very useful to get alerted when we have certain types of errors in volume. It has helped us be aware of problems very, very quickly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mezmo?

There are times when there's an ingestion delay (or an indexing delay), and it can be hard to tell where the problem is. It isn't always LogDNA, but sometimes it is. Sometimes it is in our logging system before it gets to LogDNA. But there's no easy way of seeing that.

Because we have a HIPAA-enabled account, support and account management is a little...different. I have access to usage data that the account and support teams don't, even though the aggregate usage data isn't PHI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple yet powerful"
5/5
What do you like best about Mezmo?

LogDNA excels at logging. It is not a one-size-fits-all system that tries to do everything. This focus creates a level of simplicity, reliability, and efficiency that is not present in competing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mezmo?

Ideally, there would be tighter integration between the core logging UI and dashboards. Threshold alerts on minimum / maximum counts of log events would also be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Deep analysis and fast search and filter. Great graphs and panels"
5/5
What do you like best about Mezmo?

- time view of events help measure how many times an event occurred

- filters are very fast and the range on dates is great

- notifications are a plus but very interesting to keep an eye on a problem that might not be solved

- graphs are gorgeous

- panels help to get a quick overview of important numbers

- ability to filter log lines by tag, server, app and level helps a lot

- automatic parsing of lines according to standard programs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mezmo?

- Exclusion Rules are a bit difficult to get right

- I gave up parsing syntax because it was a little complex.

- better parsing to allow to group more lines that are similar or correspond to the same problem

- possibility to hide parts of a line according to parameter ex: hide browser agent from Nginx strings

- it would be nice to have a way to group multiple apps together and view them as a group Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"As a startup, it was easy to get going and does what we need."
5/5
What do you like best about Mezmo?

The search functionality is powerful and was easy to learn how to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mezmo?

I think the pricing tiers could make more sense than it does. It is hard to scale up with LogDNA gradually. They make you spend a lot of money for more than seven days of data retention. I think this could get in the way of us growing with them potentially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential Tool for Modern Developers"
5/5
What do you like best about Mezmo?

I really enjoy the ease with which i can create a stream and view the logs for multiple applications in one place giving me the ability to search for trace ids, account numbers etc across multiple log sets. Using this tool my ability to troubleshoot support issues, test functionality of new development has increased exponentially. I recommend this tool to anyone who is looking to improve the ability of their team to fulfill requirements in a modern development workshop. Using this product across teams in my organization has also made researching interactions between products and shared infrastructure significantly easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mezmo?

At times it can take a little longer than I like for a stream to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Log Experience"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Mezmo?

The UI and look and feel of the system were very welcoming and nice to look at.

Also, the ability to handle saved logs and searches was pretty useful when needing to come back and look for something from a past search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mezmo?

IT was very difficult to move around logs when they were massive. Often the platform would crash or it would be difficult to track down similar logs.

The search function was very hard to get around to when working with ate ranges, it would not really work as expected and the dates and you would get results from different dates no matter what range you have chosen. This is actually very important since more often than not, you are required to search for very speific timelines when something occured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
