Datadog vs. Logz.io vs. Trellix Enterprise Security Manager

Datadog works really well with complex microservices architecture like any E-commerce platform which will be having multiple services but they all are interdependent to others so in this scenario Datadog will be best to monitor these as it will show the transactions also between those microservices. If you are using multiple services in your architecture whether it will be cloud services or on prem services Datadog will be the best choice to monitor all those service with in Datadog so that you can see everything in a single place. But if you are having small architecture and few services in that then in that scenario you can use Datadog but it will be little costly as compared to other but obviously the features are very well.

It is appropriate for companies that focus on developing extremely simple applications. The great visibility it provides makes it ideal to avoid problems that may affect the entire business or company thanks to the fact that it is capable of emitting dozens of alerts in a short time. Sometimes the search behavior becomes slow and inefficient, which can be uncomfortable.

McAfee is a good solution if you're in a medium/large company and if you're looking for a solution that can be customized and expanded. I also recommend if you have the most common log sources on your environment, since McAfee supports the major log sources (but lack a lot of small vendors). In my opinion, I wouldn't recommend McAfee for small companies, since it's not that easy to manage and maintain.

• Create Dashboards as per application, environments, and Custom metrics in one panel.
• Log aggregation, one-stop Application monitoring tools for the whole infrastructure.
• Playbooks, SLA definition, success and error quotas, request visualizations.
• DB monitoring, Serverless stack monitoring.
• Alerting of Production incidents so we can quickly resolve the issues on time.

Incentivized

• Alerting - Logz.io allows you to set up numerous alerts and define the specific conditions to trigger these alerts, such as the number of occurrences over a specific period of time and severity.
• Notifications - The supported integrations with Slack and OpsGenie make it easy to set up alerts to specific groups or users, like those in a particular Slack room or OpsGenie group. This is good to reduce noise and limit initial notifications to those who really need to get it.

Incentivized

• McAfee Enterprise Security Manager has a large library of pre-made correlations that reduces the amount of work needed to make it functional.
• This is a core McAfee product that is still getting support.
• It has a substantial amount of compatibility and integration with other products.

Incentivized

• Alert windows cause lag in notifications (e.g. if the alert window is X errors in 1 hour, we won't get alerted until the end of the 1 hour range)
• I would appreciate more supportive examples for how to filter and view metrics in the explorer
• I would like a more clear interface for metrics that are missing in a time frame, rather than only showing tags/etc. for metrics that were collected within the currently viewed time frame

Incentivized

• Dashboards are tough to get started with without the help of someone from logz.io
• Understanding how to pin and effectively use the nice little features

Incentivized

• If there is a requirement to integrate into other vendor products i.e. (log sharing) then this was very cumbersome.
• Integration of vulnerability scanning that is available in other vendor products would be a good addition.
• When integrating all of Intel's products a third party consultancy is usually required, where other vendor products can be configured without this additional cost.

Definitely will not revisit after our issues and, in my opinion, poor support.

Really easy to use and ship the logs Good customer support Easy integration with the modules

There is some room for improvement, but the Datadog team sends out updates frequently, and the UI is user-friendly for engineers, with no significant loading issues or region-specific problems. That was one of the key reasons we preferred Datadog; our company has employees worldwide, and it wasn't difficult to transition to the tool.

Am really exited to use the reports generated especially AWS Cost and Usage Reports function tracks your AWS usage and provides estimated charges associated with your account so that we can reduce the data costs to a greater extend. This integration allows you to ship logs from your AWS Cost and Usage Reports to your Logz.io account.More amazing features awaits you in Logz.io account.

The support team usually gets it right. We did have a rather complicate issue setting up monitoring on a domain controller. However, they are usually responsive and helpful over chat. The downside would be I don’t think they have any phone support. If that is important to you this might not be a good fit.

In the past, my team has been able to get in contact with Logz.io quickly and easily to address our questions about the product to see if it could fully meet all our needs. Some of the features we needed at the time were not available, but were on the Logz.io team's roadmap to implement in the future. I found their team to be friendly, professional, and helpful

Dealing with the McAfee support is a lottery. Sometimes you reach them and it's a really experienced engineer, but sometimes it's a person with no clue on the tool. We had few cases where our internal engineers knew more about the tool than the McAfee support. However, sometimes we get hold of some really good engineers that know the tool from inside out

Documentation was difficult to work through, rollout was catastrophic (completely outage)

Implementation of logzio is easy. Exporting the logs with filebeat agent is our main key source.

Datadog is a more complex but complete solution than any of the other Log Aggregation, monitoring, or general observabilty tools that we have trialed. I found it easier to setup following useful and up-to-date documentation provided directly by Datadog instead of scattered around many blogs or articles. I would love to have my own Grafana + Prometheus expert to setup all the peices we need but you're paying for expertise there instead of an experience with Datadog.

Graylog and Microsoft System Center lacks infrastructure management and logging, proper analytics is done only on Logz.io. The customer support is also really great for Logz.io, we are really pleased with their support and timely action. The migration was also easy and took us hardly a day to set up and run the solutions.

McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is a better option than other security software because it's both inexpensive and extremely effective. Norton and other security software boast a high price tag but don't always back it up when it comes to performance. With McAfee Enterprise Security Manager, I know I'm getting a quality product for a fair price.

• Saved us (time & money) from developing our own monitoring utilities that would pale in comparison
• Alerts allow us to remedy issues before our customers even know about them
• Tracking resource usage over time allows us to better plan for future needs, before it becomes a pain-point.

• about the investment, this tool is helping in our day to day activities
• easy to troubleshoot the errors
• simple and powerful

Incentivized

• It effectively blocks potential attacks from outside.
• It aids us in doing more effective root-cause analysis whenever an incident occurs, since it gives us enough details to understand what went wrong.
