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."Datadog has helped us a ton by allowing us to set up a multitude of easily configurable alarms across our tech stack and infrastructure."
"The most valuable features have been: Sharable dashboards, TimeBoards, dogstatsd API, Slack Integration, Event logging API. CloudTrail Events, Tags, alerts, and anomaly detection. EBS Volume Snapshot Age, which they added upon request."
"It has turned into an operational dashboard. If you felt something is going wrong, you can immediately open up Datadog. It has been our go to application because we know the answer will be there."
"Datadog has proven to be easy to set up and legible for both development and operational teams."
"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."
"Having a wealth of information has helped us investigate outages, and having historical data helps us tune our system."
"The many dozens of integrations that the solution brings out of the box are excellent."
"The application performance monitoring is pretty good."
"The most valuable features of Sumo Logic Security are the rules, use cases, and ease of use. Additionally, the integration is straightforward and good GUI."
"The solution is quite stable."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"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."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"Once Datadog has gained wide adoption, it can often be overwhelming to both know and understand where to go to find answers to questions."
"The on-premise version is very difficult to upgrade."
"We need to learn more about the session reply feature inside of DD."
"Lacks some flexibility in the customization."
"Even though it is powerful on its own, the UI-based design lacks elegance, efficiency, and complexity."
"I found the documentation can sometimes be confusing."
"I would love to see more metrics or analytics in IoT devices."
"The dashboard could be improved. It would be helpful to get a view of specific things that we need to monitor for our application."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution should improve its UI."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
