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 have found error reporting and log centralization the most valuable features. Overall, Datadog provides a full package solution."
"The CCM, Workflows, Logs, APM, and RUM are all useful aspects of the solution."
"By moving to Datadog, we did not need to manage our own monitoring infrastructure anymore."
"It has a nice UI."
"The platform appeals to companies spanning many industries on a global scale."
"The ease with which we can filter, use metrics, and give accounts to customers, then let the customer filter, set up metrics, and alerts. This has been a big win for us."
"The application performance monitoring is pretty good."
"This is definitely a good product and I would consider them one of the leaders within the application monitoring and cloud monitoring space."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"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."
"Technical support is always great."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"The error traceability is an area that can be improved."
"Alerting timing should be improved to be more fine-tuned and exact."
"We have contact with many customers that cover many areas, so we have cases where the infrastructure administration could be improved."
"The product needs a better Datadog agent installation."
"It would be nice to be able to graph metrics by excluding certain tags (like you can do in monitors)."
"Additional metrics should be included."
"Could be a little more user friendly."
"It would be ideal if the product offered a bit more monitoring from our dashboard."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."
"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."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"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."
"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
