Have you tried Axiom or Logflare?

Thanks for your response! I will look into Sumo Logic in that case :-)

We're kinda big on Splunk, everything that remotely looks like log data get shipped of to Splunk.I've worked with ELK before and I'm not a fan, the usability is very low compared to Splunk. It's much cheaper though. At a previous employer we switch from Splunk to ELK and the number of searches we did on a daily basis dropped to almost zero. Before that almost every support "ticket" would start with a Splunk search.You could also try out <a href="https:/&#

Full disclosure: Employee at ScalyrMay I suggest you try out Scalyr? Our trials are easy to set up. We are cost effective at large scale ingest, our searches are fast and power queries are super nice!

Please consider Scalyr: disclosure I work there, but objectively I will be surprised if someone beats us on price, focused log analytics - try and judge for yourself.https://www.scalyr.com

Have you tried out Graylog? Their core product does pretty decently at my $DAYJOB.

Graylog. It's amazing. Elastic also has an offering.
