You can set, metrics, status dashboards, and email alerts which are very useful and are most important for an organization. amazing customer support, easy to integrate with all your workloads. It is very easy to implement as the user interface is very easy and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no dislike as such as of now, as it's best in this segment of monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best feature of Sematext is the ability to query the response header and look for specific text values. This allows us to remotely monitor if, and how often, key pages in our sites are being returned as cached. As high speed pages are an absolute mandatory these days, this is a killer feature for us, and one we didn't find elsewhere in our research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface for the monitors has a few quirks from a UX point of view - it takes 1-2 clicks more than it needs to to edit configurations. I also use middle click on my browser a million times a day to open links in a new browser tab - this should be possible on Edit Configuration links within the monitor screen, so I can open all monitors, edit them, and save/close as I go.

We connected with Sematext Cloud before our last upgrade to SOLR 9. The operational visibility and alerting have been very valuable and a source of confidence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside so far has been the non-existence of a Windows version of the performance exporter. That wasn't a real issue because we have Linux nodes available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having used Sematext for a little over two months, I think it's an amazing service. The live support chat is quick to respond and keeps me updated about what's going on with my issues, which rarely seems anywhere else. I think that the price for their infrastructure monitoring is very fair and I love the integration with different platforms for alerting. Their UI is very modern and simple which is the main reason that I moved to Sematext and the alerts are extremely customisable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside I see with Sematext is that sometimes the features you wouldn't expect to be pricey are. I think that $50 monthly as a starting price for 1GB/day of logs is quite high especially given their free forever plan is 500MB/day with the exact same retention period. I also think that live chat support should be something accessible to active users not just for the higher plans, the only reason I think this is because when I was having some issues getting set up with one of the features it said there is 0 support for the product on the tier I was using which left me confused and considering finding other organisations that offer the same but with support.

Sematext Cloud helped us to easily and quickly develop interfaces to retrieve logs for test applications and production applications! Easy to apprehend and understand thanks to the well-explained documentation (with basic computer knowledge, of course). The data monitoring for any platforms is really easy to understand and very helpful, even with the Basic data plan, the results are great enough to choose if you need to upgrade your plan or not.

One Downside:

Context: if you need to pause your app for more than 31 days, your app is going to be deleted, which can be a real pain for some use cases where your activity isn't continuous.

- no or very few informations about the apps deletion after 31 days of inactivity, which means being forced to recreate the app anew from scratch if you put your application on pause (for various reasons) So an option to save the app configuration and filters (Just the app "skeleton" != the retention of data received which is determined by the data plan) - About the same topic if not possible to save the app, at least a warning email could be sent to warn the user that the inactive interface will be deleted if no activity in the next XX days (for example: 7 days prior to the expiration date could be great?)

The pricing model - the cost per month are exactly predictable. Some alternatives of sematext surprise you at the end of the month with a huge bill, sematext does not! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sys admins disliked some dependencies (node, java) that needed to be installed on the servers to install the agents. Whereas I cannot really judge the situation (not a sys admin by myself), I think it would be much easier to just have a compiled binary (maybe written in rust) without much dependencies.

It gives us beautiful insights of Infrastructure by fetching logs of remote end point. It includes details of compute, storage, kubernetes, containers and many more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing structure is a little bit costly. Needs more integrations with security tools. Lack of time to sync the details of application deployment to sematext. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sean at Sematext was extremely helping in listening to our needs and recommending the right solution. We implemented monitoring on many of our REST APIs and have found the service to be reliable and useful. These guys are very responsive and listen to their customers.

Some of the Sematext products could have been more mature when we started, but they've since added a ton of new features and addressed our concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sematext is a powerful tool but has the same features as SpeedCurve, CatchPoint, Treo... The biggest difference is that the support/Customer Success Manager accompanies us and follow-us through the Sematext tool experience and the ease of use of your tool. Not having many metrics allows us to focus on the essentials. The automatic RUM experience urls integrated into the tool and the ease of integrating the script are very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of metrics, and sometimes it's confusing with all the datas configuration (dashboards, alerts rules, monitoring Browser/monitoring HTTP...). Still, with the help of the support and the documentation, it's manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Sematext to view multiple production environment logs. It is beneficial to have all production environments in one place compared to viewing the logs on each server. We found it helpful to set up alerts based on errors in your environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently we can only see logs based on the full hostname, instead of being able to group similar hosts together so you only get one result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
