We performed a comparison between Datadog and Sumo Logic Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I find the greatest feature is being able to search across logs from various microservices."
"We have a better grasp of what is occurring during the deployment cycle. If something fails, we have an idea what has failed, where it has failed, and how it failed to better mitigate the situation."
"The most valuable aspect is the APM which can monitor the metrics and latencies."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the elastic container service."
"APM and tracing are super useful."
"The Datadog suite has allowed us to easily integrate log collection into all of our services and quickly detect unexpected changes in system data to declare security incidents."
"The most valuable features of Datadog are the flexibility and additional features when compared to other solutions, such as AppDynamics and Dynatrace. Some of the features include AI and ML capabilities and cloud and analysis monitoring"
"I really enjoy the RUM monitoring features of Datadog. It allows us to monitor user behavior in a way we couldn't before."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"Technical support is always great."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It lacks consistency in the APIs."
"It can have an artificial intelligence component. Even though I can seamlessly look at end-to-end security, it would be better to have alerts and notifications powered by an AI engine. I am not sure if they have an AI component. We have not reached out to them or looked at it, but this is something that I keep on talking about within our company in terms of features. Such a feature would be good to have, and it would further optimize my Security Ops team's abilities."
"The ease of implementation needs improvement."
"The pricing should be less of a surprise."
"They should continue expanding and integrating with more third-party apps."
"Auto instrumentation on tracing has not been very easy to find in the documentation."
"Managing dashboards as IaC is a bit hard to work out at times."
"Datadog needs more local Asia-Pacific support, and if they don't have a SaaS solution in Asia-Pacific, they should offer an on-prem version. I'm told that's not possible."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial."
"If you want to up your subscription through the AWS Marketplace, it can be difficult. You can't just go back to the AWS Marketplace, and say, "I want a bigger one now." You have to contact the sales team, then they do it on the back-end. This could definitely be improved."
"The API integration in Sumo Logic Security could improve. There are delayed connections or they stop and then automatically start. Having a seamless log collection would be beneficial."
"It would be nice to have an improved ability to scroll through logs within a time frame. Right now, we can search for specific errors. However, if we want to look for "before and after" within a specific time frame, it's not easy using the tool. This would be an improvement."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems."
