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."Some of the most valuable features I really appreciate are the performance, how quick the solution is, and how easy it is to create a query."
"The most valuable feature is the level of detail that you can see about certain events, even when they do not come up in the console."
"The solution provides information about the risk factors."
"In our country we are a little bit private in terms of solutions, so we are just starting to use the basic data capture. Now some users can start to use additional features that come with Micro Focus ArcSight like user behavior analytics for investigating."
"The ESM use cases are the most valuable. It enables us to use the big data collection inside our company. We are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM solution."
"It's a robust, mature product and you can do some really complex operations and analytics."
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive."
"The solution is useful for monitoring logs."
"The full stack of integrations made it easier to monitor the different technologies and platform providers, including Software as a Service providers, that otherwise would need a lot of work and customization to be able to see what is happening."
"This spectrum of solutions has allowed us to track down bugs faster and more rapidly, which allows us to limit revenue lost during downtime."
"Flame graphs are pretty useful for understanding how GraphQL resolves our federated queries when it comes to identifying slow points in our requests. In our microservice environment with 170 services."
"The integration and configuration are incredibly simple. The SaaS offering is remarkably easy to set up, especially if you're coming from a Graphite environment or anything that uses a StatsD."
"Datadog documentation on web pages has improved a lot and is pretty easy to follow and find."
"The interface and the integrations make it so easy to connect to the cloud or to the on-premise environment."
"It has enhanced the performance of my team."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"It's not a new product and is a bit complex. So, it requires a person dedicated to working on it and to know about it in and out. It is a huge product, and the search operation is a bit complicated for a new user or someone who has not used it for long. So for that person, it becomes a bit difficult."
"The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution."
"The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications."
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."
"We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow."
"Lacks some flexibility in the customization."
"The error traceability is an area that can be improved."
"At times, it can be hard to generate metrics out of logs."
"The menu on the left is pretty dense (and I know it has to be). I never knew about the cmd+k functionality until recently. It would be helpful to offer more tips/cheat sheets to see handy shortcuts like that."
"When it comes to storing the logs with Datadog, I'm not sure why it costs so much to store gigabytes or terabytes of information when it's a fraction of the cost to do so myself."
"It lacks consistency in the APIs."
"I sometimes log in and see items changed, either in the UI or a feature enabled. To see it for the first time without proper communication can sometimes come as a shock."
"Managing dashboards as IaC is a bit hard to work out at times."
