    LogDNA
    Anytime we need to make any kind of log on any platform that we use, LogDNA is well suited. It is primarily used for logging errors on our server but also used for checking issues within our iOS apps when we need to identify a critical issue that is occurring. The search feature is very very good!

    Power Admin PA Server Monitor works great for our needs. We do however wish that it worked for Linux Operating Systems.

    Pros
    LogDNA

    • Backups are great since we do occasionally need to access logs from the past and it has helped us solve some problems.
    • Searching/filtering is great and I've always been able to get exactly what I need.

    • It does have bulk settings tools to set up bulk settings for multiple devices, but to me it could be a bit easier to use. However, I ran into a snag and reached out to support and they are great.
    • It does not support Linux Operating Systems.

    Usability
    LogDNA
    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 an excellent product that is much easier to use than many other open source type offerings. Easy learning curve.

    Support Rating
    LogDNA
    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.

    LogDNA
    LogDNA was already setup when I started and it is offered through Heroku so that's why it was chosen. It's also cheaper I believe. Compared to Logentries, it does the same thing.

    We tried some open source solutions. But, they were much more difficult to set up and maintain. PA is easy to use "out of the box". We looked at other paid solutions also, but they were cost prohibitive, since we are a small institution.

    • It has decreased our critical services downtime, because we are able to VPN in and fix issues as soon as Power Admin alerts us of an issue. ROI has been excellent.
    • It allows us to catch issues before they become critical by alerting us on errors that show up in our Event Logs.
