We performed a comparison between ArcSight Logger and Datadog 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."It's an efficient solution."
"The most valuable feature is the level of detail that you can see about certain events, even when they do not come up in the console."
"Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to pick up logs. It also has UEBA which has reduced the time to take charge of the events."
"In terms of ArcSight Logger's most valuable feature, it is their scalability. ArcSight's real advantage is its scalability because they have two layers, including the logger layer."
"We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist."
"The machine learning is a good feature."
"We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable."
"The dashboards are great."
"Since we integrated Datadog, we have had increased confidence in the quality of our service, and we had an easier time increasing our delivery velocity."
"Even if we don't end up using Datadog, it revealed problems and optimizations to us that weren't obvious before."
"It has turned into an operational dashboard. If you felt something is going wrong, you can immediately open up Datadog. It has been our go to application because we know the answer will be there."
"Datadog dashboards are pretty great."
"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 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."
"We integrate our application logs. It is great to be able to tie our metrics and our traces together."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use."
"I think the ArcSight team should try to simplify legacy products for the customers, because that product is not easy to use or to work with. It needs more more competency or appeal to use. We hope Micro Focus is trying to resolve this."
"The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications."
"ArcSight has been sold two or three times, and the quality has decreased."
"It's not a new product and is a bit complex. So, it requires a person dedicated to working on it and to know about it in and out. It is a huge product, and the search operation is a bit complicated for a new user or someone who has not used it for long. So for that person, it becomes a bit difficult."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"If there were a more cost-effective manner of deploying the tool, we'd be more likely to adopt it more widely."
"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."
"It can be overwhelming for new people as it has a lot of features."
"This service could be less costly."
"I would love to see more metrics or analytics in IoT devices."
"There is always room for improvement when dealing with cloud-based technologies. Mainly, I would say, it's just increasing our offerings to attract various other types of industries and businesses across more fields."
"The more tools that they can build that allow you to run AWX playbooks, or other similar fixes, would benefit clients greatly."
