We performed a comparison between Datadog and ManageEngine Log360 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."The dashboards and the performance of the software have been great."
"Datadog's ability to group and visualize the servers and the data makes it relatively easy for the root cause analysis."
"For us to have visibility into our app stack and the hardware we run has been highly beneficial."
"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."
"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."
"The solution allows flexibility and heightened observability for presenting data, creating indicators, and setting service-level objectives."
"The visibility that it provides is valuable. It is helping in being proactive around incident management. It is helping us to be able to get more visibility into our customers' applications so that we can assist them at the application layer. We also provide them the infrastructure from an AWS standpoint. We are able to make sure that our customers are aware of certain critical things around the analytical piece of either the network or the application. We're able to call customers before they even know about the issue. From there, we can start putting together some change management processes and help them a bit."
"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."
"The most valuable features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."
"Auto instrumentation on tracing has not been very easy to find in the documentation."
"The real issue with this product is cost control."
"We would really like to see more from the Service Catalog."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
"I would like testing for data in the future."
"Sometimes it’s difficult to customize certain queries to find specific things, specifically with the logging solution."
"We have contact with many customers that cover many areas, so we have cases where the infrastructure administration could be improved."
"The parallel editing of the dashboards should not cause users to lose the work of another person."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."
"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."
"The support needs improvement."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
