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."We have hundreds of microservices, and knowing how top-level requests weave throughout all of them is invaluable."
"We like the distributed tracing and flame graphs for debugging. This has been invaluable for us during periods of high traffic or red alert conditions."
"Datadog has so far been a breeze to use and set up."
"Excellent autocomplete for everything in the UI."
"The tool's deployment is easy."
"The solution's SaaS model is easy to manage and works well in single- or multi-cloud environments."
"Datadog documentation on web pages has improved a lot and is pretty easy to follow and find."
"The most valuable features are logging, the extensive set of integrations, and easy jumpstart."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"Stability of the product has been a concern for us outside of the primary monitoring agents."
"It would also be nice if we had more insight into our own usage of Datadog (agents and custom metrics). They provide a usage page which does help, but it is not in real-time."
"I've only been using Datadog for a few months, and at first, it was frankly overwhelming in terms of both the UI and the available capabilities."
"Lately, chat support has a longer waiting time."
"Managing dashboards as IaC is a bit hard to work out at times."
"Deploying the agents is still very manual."
"All solutions have some area to improve, and in Datadog they can improve their overall technology moving forward."
"The Log Explorer could be better. I don't think it has log manipulation as Splunk does."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
