What do you like best?

It provide the real-time log analysis and log alerts.

It is fully managed and more scalable.

Log alerts can be set for any string which occurred in logs and get alerts on mail, slack.

Best part about the stack-driver is that it's available by-default for all the projects.

What do you dislike?

Log searching and filtering is slow sometimes, sometime need to wait for longer time to get the old logs.

For compute engine monitoring, an agent needs to be installed in each VM's to monitor specific metrics.

Only 30 days log data is available by default.
