We performed a comparison between Datadog and Rapid7 InsightOps 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."Datadog has helped us a ton by allowing us to set up a multitude of easily configurable alarms across our tech stack and infrastructure."
"The solution has improved the organization by providing good insights into app performance and offering good dashboards."
"We like the distributed tracing and flame graphs for debugging. This has been invaluable for us during periods of high traffic or red alert conditions."
"We really like the charts and visualization."
"The performance of Datadog is good."
"Sometimes it's more user friendly for development teams. There are some parts of Datadog that are more understandable for development teams. For example, the APM in Datadog works more manually and works like the tools in New Relic or Grafana, or Elastic. It is easier to understand for software development teams."
"It is easy to implement and scale applications with standardized visibility, monitoring and alerting"
"Overall, the Data UI and the usability of customer features continue to improve."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"I found the solution to be stable, I did not experience any bugs or glitches. However, some of the managing team did."
"Sometimes, it takes a long time to load the dashboard if we have many charts."
"The way data is represented can be limiting. When I first tried it out a long time ago, you could graph a metric and another metric, and they'd overlay, but you couldn't take the ratio between the two."
"It could probably be a little bit of a better user experience."
"It can be overwhelming for new people as it has a lot of features."
"We have contact with many customers that cover many areas, so we have cases where the infrastructure administration could be improved."
"I sometimes log in and see items changed, either in the UI or a feature enabled. To see it for the first time without proper communication can sometimes come as a shock."
"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."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
