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."APM is great and has provided low-effort out-of-the-box observability for various services."
"The most valuable features have been: Sharable dashboards, TimeBoards, dogstatsd API, Slack Integration, Event logging API. CloudTrail Events, Tags, alerts, and anomaly detection. EBS Volume Snapshot Age, which they added upon request."
"We've been able to glean from the monitors what servers are down, and can alert the team in Slack."
"Most of the features in the way Datadog does monitoring are commendable and that is the reason we choose it. We did some comparisons before picking Datadog. Datadog was recommended based on the features provided."
"We've found it most useful for managing Rstudio Workbench, which has its own logs that would not be picked up via Cloudwatch."
"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."
"Because of our client focus, it is easy for us to sell. This is because it is easy to use and easy to set up."
"Using the data, our operation teams works with the dashboards to get their statistics, analytics, etc."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"Technical support is always great."
"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."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"We need more integration functionality, including certain metrics integration."
"There is occasional UI slowness and bugs."
"ECS could be improved by including more tutorials for beginners to reduce the barriers to entry."
"The product needs to have more enterprise approach to configuration."
"Datadog could improve the flexibility with AI and ML concepts. This will allow customers to be more leveraged towards publishing."
"Could be a little more user friendly."
"The logging could be improved in the future."
"I find the training great. That said, it is set for the LCD (lowest common denominator). Of course, this is very helpful to sell the product, yet, to really utilize the product, you need to get more detailed."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."
