Moesif vs Kibana
Logs are unstructured and unsuitable for investigating complex API issues or deeply understanding user behavior.
Moesif API observability enables your teams to answer any question around API usage without being held back by the high maintenance costs of on-premises software.
With Moesif's automation features, automatically block customers when they abuse your API or send an email informing them of rate limits.
Trusted by product-led enterprises and startups
I learned more about users abusing our APIs in ten minutes with Moesif than I had in a couple days of messing with logs in kibana.
