We performed a comparison between Datadog and LogRhythm SIEM 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 like the amount of tooling and the number of solutions they sold with their monitoring. Datadog was highly intuitive to use."
"Even if we don't end up using Datadog, it revealed problems and optimizations to us that weren't obvious before."
"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."
"It is great that creating an incident is possible from Slack while having all the relevant data in Datadog."
"We really like the charts and visualization."
"The solution has improved the organization by providing good insights into app performance and offering good dashboards."
"Datadog documentation on web pages has improved a lot and is pretty easy to follow and find."
"This spectrum of solutions has allowed us to track down bugs faster and more rapidly, which allows us to limit revenue lost during downtime."
"Currently, we are in the implementation phase. LogRhythm is better than QRadar from the point of view of collecting Windows events. It has a much higher view. You can enable monitoring by default."
"The product is great for medium to large-scale organizations."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM covers all our primary security analysis needs. It makes it easier for us to analyze threats and improves our response times. It's a versatile platform that performs queries fast compared to other SIEM solutions."
"The GUI is very intuitive and the solution has good integration."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is customizable, simple to manage, and there are many features. The solution does not require an expert to be able to use it, anyone can use it."
"Technical support has always been helpful."
"The most useful feature that I've found so far is the search function. I like all the different ways you're able to search through metadata and the different ways you're able to correlate or search through logs to find out what's going on."
"NextGen SIEM's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness."
"The dashboard could be improved. It would be helpful to get a view of specific things that we need to monitor for our application."
"The product is quite complex, and there are so many features that I either didn't know about or wasn't sure how to use."
"We need to learn more about the session reply feature inside of DD."
"As a new customer, the Datadog user interface is a bit daunting."
"Lacks some flexibility in the customization."
"The product could be improved by providing remote control to agents, enabling them to execute automation and collections without requiring another automation tool or integration."
"One area where I was really looking for improvement was the CSPM product line. I had really wanted to have team-level visibility for findings, since the team managing the resources has much more context and ability to resolve the issue, as the service owner. However, this has been added to the announcement in a recent keynote."
"I want to applaud the efforts in making the UI extremely usable and approachable. My suggestion would be to take another look at how the menu structure is put together, however. Even after using the platform mostly every day for months, I still find myself trying to find a service or feature in the menus."
"I think there is room for improvement because the system is still running on the Windows Server platform. The problem with running on Windows is that it is not that good for scaling and providing for big deployment environments."
"One of the challenges of the SIEM for the LogRhythm 7 platform is the amount of time it takes to bring new log sources into the MDI."
"The built-in functionality of the solution for NDR, SOAR, SIEM, and EDS has room for improvement."
"We've had issues with scaling and local support."
"The solution is likely not the best option for a smaller organization."
"The initial setup is not so easy because it is quite a process."
"There is room for improvement with separate running sources or better integration."
"NextGen SIEM's integration with other software is good but could be improved."
