About Sematext Cloud

Sematext Cloud is an all-in-one observability tool that helps businesses assess and gain key insights into the front and back-end performance of system applications. Features include real user and synthetic monitoring, transaction tracing, infrastructure monitoring, and log management. It also enables organizations to identify key performance issues via actionable analytics.

Sematext Cloud allows enterprises to detect potential anomalies across the system and receive automated alerts via emails, mobile push notifications, and other ChatOps including Slack, PagerDuty, and more. Developers can view the list of available assets or servers, filter them based on tags, conduct audits of all software packages, and utilize the search functionality to retrieve specific details from the repository.

Sematext Cloud offers an API, which enables businesses to integrate the platform with various third-party applications such as Docker, Hashicorp Nomad, Redis, Nginx, and more. The software also helps users monitor network topology, site performance, Java Virtual Machine (JVM), containers, user experience, and resource management processes on a centralized platform.

One stop solution for infrastructure insights!

I used this to manage my infra and this has really helped me a lot to understand the usage pattern of the app and also helps in safely predicting when the load will be high and when it will be low. Finding out memory leaks for JVM has also been very easy when I was trying to get insights about GC and JVM pool.

Pros

- Very detailed reports
- Installing an agent happens in a jiffy
- Very intuitive UI
- Good support from the Sematext team

Cons

- Documentation missing for old agents - Ubuntu < 16
- Agent once crashed - cause is still unknown!

Datadog

Reasons for Choosing Sematext Cloud

I wanted to get a detailed report of each of the metrics over a time period. Sematext does that. Also for JVM monitoring I couldn't get anything better than this.

JVM monitoring just stole the deal for me. Also, the help from their support team while I was setting it up on my production instances - it was amazing.

Worth switching from other logging aggregation

Satisfied but need more time to evaluate

Pros

I just switch from ELK. Sematext is a surprise to me. It is so easy to integrate and so easy to use. The web UI is so intuitive and the query syntax is so easy to use even if you are not a technical guy. Compared to ELK, it is a real cloud service, you never need to worry about you lose the logs .

Cons

I haven’t found so far. Only thing is the price is a little bit high for a standup.
