We performed a comparison between Datadog and NetWitness Platform 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."Its integration is most valuable because you can integrate it with various service providers such as AWS, .Net, etc."
"The solution has improved the organization by providing good insights into app performance and offering good dashboards."
"Having a wealth of information has helped us investigate outages, and having historical data helps us tune our system."
"The tools are powerful and intuitive to set up."
"The product has offered increased visibility via logging APM, metrics, RUM, etc."
"The solution is sufficiently stable."
"The seamless integration between Datadog and hundreds of apps makes onboarding new products and teams a breeze."
"We have been able to set very specific CPU and memory alerts, at the very base level, then we started to pull real business value, like 99th percentile response rates for our API calls."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"The packet capture aspect of it is a valuable feature because it is quite different from a traditional SIEM solution that only carries out investigations based on captured logs."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"All solutions have some area to improve, and in Datadog they can improve their overall technology moving forward."
"Datadog has a lot of features kind of cramped into one dashboard. It's quite hard to get around what feature does exactly what. There was a steep learning curve, trying to navigate through menus."
"If there were a more cost-effective manner of deploying the tool, we'd be more likely to adopt it more widely."
"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."
"Datadog has a lot of documentation, but a lot of that documentation assumes you know how the service works, which can lead to confusion."
"I'd like to see better pricing and more integration in the next release."
"It could use some additional features when working with metrics like Grafana or like New Relic has. Datadog does not use library technologies like Dynatrace does. Datadog has machine learning too, but it does not have this option in all layers of monitoring like infrastructure service process in applications."
"Sometimes, it takes a long time to load the dashboard if we have many charts."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions. Whenever any hacking activity or any other threat factor occurred they used to provide the coverages very fast when comparing RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets. I heard the other three solutions, from a discussion with my team members who had experience in other solutions, they used to say that. Whenever any issues happened across the globe RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are a little bit slow improving those detection mechanisms."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
