We performed a comparison between Datadog and ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer 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."We have found that we're able to get in and out of troubleshooting issues much more rapidly, which in turn, of course, enables us to spend more time on our products."
"Profiling has been made easier."
"The fact that everything is under a single pane of glass is really valuable, as developers don't have to spend their time copying correlation IDs across tools to find what they need."
"Datadog dashboards are pretty great."
"Datadog's ability to group and visualize the servers and the data makes it relatively easy for the root cause analysis."
"The ease of correcting these dashboards and widgets when needed is amazing."
"I find the greatest feature is being able to search across logs from various microservices."
"The most valuable aspects of the product include the APM and profiler."
"The user interface is very good."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"It is stable."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"Billing should be more transparent."
"We would really like to see more from the Service Catalog."
"There are things about it that we would like to be fixed, such as it is taking averages of average. This results in data that we don't expect."
"Datadog could be improved if it could detect other software in a container or server."
"It can have a more modernized pricing mechanism. We're actually working with them to figure out how to become more modular and have a better and more modernized pricing mechanism. The issue with Datadog is that you have to buy the whole suite of different products, and you kind of get stuck in the old utilization of 40% of their suite. Most organizations today break down between application development, networking, and security. Therefore, there should be a way to break down different modules into just app dev, infosec, networking, etc. Customers have various needs across their business lines, and sometimes, they're just not willing to have tools that they're not using 100%. AppDynamics is probably a little bit better in terms of being modular."
"The correlation between the logs and the metrics needs improvement as most cases, we might use another logging tool (that is cheaper in cost) which we then have to link together."
"The documentation leaves a lot to be desired for new users."
"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."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"The scalability is limited."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
