"I have found the logging and tracing features the most valuable."
"I don't have to worry about upgrades with the AWS version."
"Datadog has so far been a breeze to use and set up."
"Its logs are most valuable."
"We rely heavily on the API crawlers that Datadog uses for cloud integrations. These allow us to pick up and leverage the tags teams have already deployed without having also to make them add them at the agent level."
"We integrate our application logs. It is great to be able to tie our metrics and our traces together."
"The most useful feature is the APM."
"We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"Technical support is always great."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"With this tool, we provide access to every developer team the ability to find errors, then they come to us and ask for specific help."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"Managing dashboards as IaC is a bit hard to work out at times."
"All solutions have some area to improve, and in Datadog they can improve their overall technology moving forward."
"We need more visibility into the error tracking dashboard."
"The pricing should be less of a surprise."
"We have recently had a number of issues with stability and delays on logging, monitoring, metric evaluation, and alerts."
"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."
"Could be a little more user friendly."
"Once Datadog has gained wide adoption, it can often be overwhelming to both know and understand where to go to find answers to questions."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"It would be nice to have an improved ability to scroll through logs within a time frame. Right now, we can search for specific errors. However, if we want to look for "before and after" within a specific time frame, it's not easy using the tool. This would be an improvement."
"The API integration in Sumo Logic Security could improve. There are delayed connections or they stop and then automatically start. Having a seamless log collection would be beneficial."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
