Log4j is perfect to use in applications where you suspect you have a need to troubleshoot the application in a running environment and don’t know in advance exactly which parts of the application you want to troubleshoot. It’s a bit unnecessary in really small applications since the extra dependency can cause more issues than benefits.

LogDNA is great for all your apps to log activity. Not much more to say about it. It does what it sets out to do. Everyone in our company uses our app so it's nice when someone is having an issue and we need to dig deeper into what they were doing and LogDNA helps in those scenarios.

  • The colors are ugly, both the dark and light theme. Needs better contrast and color combinations. It's also weird that dark mode has white dropdown menus on the filters.

Usability

It's really easy to use and powerful. But at a few times, the UI may feel sluggish, which is a bit expected, since it's displaying live stream of heavy data.

It is very very good. They are responsive and very helpful. They also take the time to walk you through the issues you are having. But honestly, it is so straightforward that you rarely need to get support from their team. They are very helpful when you do need their support though.

I have not used any other software but I have gone through demos of others and LogDNA gave us everything we needed at a fair price and with a great UI on the back end. It was not even a question of which software to choose. They are a great team.
