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."We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist."
"We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable."
"The ability to customize the solution in great detail is its most valuable features. We can customize the use cases and also have the ability to do scripting. We can personalize our dashboard as well. The scalability the solution offers is quite impressive."
"The technical support team is good...It is a scalable solution."
"It's a brilliant log collection tool, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of servers in a single shot to ingest the data."
"The solution provides information about the risk factors."
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"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."
"We have hundreds of microservices, and knowing how top-level requests weave throughout all of them is invaluable."
"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."
"Anything I've wanted to do, I found a way to get it done through Datadog."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards and the reporting."
"The Datadog suite has allowed us to easily integrate log collection into all of our services and quickly detect unexpected changes in system data to declare security incidents."
"The ingestion points are unlimited and support customization. We haven't had anything yet that we haven't been able to integrate with it."
"Datadog has a lot of features to be able to drill down deep into the swath of logs that our platforms generate."
"The solution is useful for monitoring logs."
"The integration with other systems could be improved."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features."
"The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved."
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."
"It would be better if the product is cheaper."
"The next release should have AI capabilities."
"Federated views for Datadog dashboards are critical as large companies utilize multiple instances of the product and cannot link the metrics or correlate the metrics together. This stunts the usage of Datadog."
"I've found that the documentation is lacking in certain regards."
"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."
"It can have an artificial intelligence component. Even though I can seamlessly look at end-to-end security, it would be better to have alerts and notifications powered by an AI engine. I am not sure if they have an AI component. We have not reached out to them or looked at it, but this is something that I keep on talking about within our company in terms of features. Such a feature would be good to have, and it would further optimize my Security Ops team's abilities."
"Datadog has a lot of documentation, but a lot of that documentation assumes you know how the service works, which can lead to confusion."
"Their security features could be improved. We looked at their Security Monitoring feature but it was early in its development. Datadog are just getting into the security space so I'm sure this will improve in the future."
"Once Datadog has gained wide adoption, it can often be overwhelming to both know and understand where to go to find answers to questions."
"I found the solution to be stable, I did not experience any bugs or glitches. However, some of the managing team did."
