"It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system."
"ArcSight provides the basic information that we want."
"It's an efficient solution."
"Some of the most valuable features I really appreciate are the performance, how quick the solution is, and how easy it is to create a query."
"ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the level of detail that you can see about certain events, even when they do not come up in the console."
"We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable."
"It is a good one stop location where we keep all our data for our infrastructure, and it's also easier to navigate between different things."
"Datadog is constantly adding new features."
"The application performance monitoring is pretty good."
"The solution has improved the organization by providing good insights into app performance and offering good dashboards."
"The most valuable feature of Datadog is its logs."

"The web app has a real-time support chat window in which a support engineer is chatting with you within a minute."
"We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use."
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."
"The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."
"Since the Datadog platform has so many separate features, solving so many use cases, there are often inconsistencies in feature availability and interoperability between products."
"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."
"Deploying the agents is still very manual."
"It could probably be a little bit of a better user experience."
"The logging could be improved in the future."
"One thing we have run into is that it is so easy to add monitoring that we turn on things without really understanding the costs."
"This service could be less costly."
"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."
