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."It has scaled great. I haven't run into any problems anywhere that I've used it. They have handled everything that we have needed them to."
"The full stack of integrations made it easier to monitor the different technologies and platform providers, including Software as a Service providers, that otherwise would need a lot of work and customization to be able to see what is happening."
"The tools are powerful and intuitive to set up."
"I like that you can build out a dashboard pretty quickly. There are some things that come out of the box that you don't really need to do, which is great because they're default settings."
"For us to have visibility into our app stack and the hardware we run has been highly beneficial."
"We've found it most useful for managing Rstudio Workbench, which has its own logs that would not be picked up via Cloudwatch."
"The many dozens of integrations that the solution brings out of the box are excellent."
"APM and tracing are super useful."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"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."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"We would really like to see more from the Service Catalog."
"I would like the tooling to have better integration in Slack, specifically sending out reminders to the relevant people to take breaks, do a retrospective, and specify with emojis which messages to log."
"Datadog could always lower the price!"
"I'm not sure if Datadog can monitor K8s deployments in real-time. For instance, being able to see a deployment step by step visually. This would be helpful if there were any incidents during the deployment."
"It does not have the best interface."
"More pre-configured "Monitor Alerts" would be helpful."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Its settings should be improved for a better understanding of billing. They should also provide some alerts when there is an increase in the usage. For example, if there is 20% more increase from one week to another, the customer should get an alert."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
