Pros

“Only a few minutes are required to setup the monitoring agents and we have pre-built integrations for cloud infrastructure that help our IT team to save a lot of manual configuration time.”
EA

Elizabeth A.

Systems Adninistrator

“It replaced stitching together separate metrics, logs, and tracing tools with one correlated platform, which shortened incident resolution and gave the team much better visibility into production.”

“Log searching andd data analysis are the strongpoints of Datadog - you can take an insane amount of data, and distill it quickly.”
DL

Drew L.

SR SYS Admin

Pros

“Speaking about security, it helps me a lot, I collect logs from firewall, nas, switch, windows (e.g. Domain Controller and Terminal Server) and linux server, especially if they are published on internet. If you have an exchange on premise you should collect the log files under inetpub directory (use the windows filebeat). ”

“You can choose the free version and have all the features needed to collect and look for logs.”

“Graylog has a clean interface that I like very much.”

Engineer

Cons

“Pricing is the big drawback: costs can climb quickly and unpredictably as you add hosts, custom metrics, and log ingestion, so you have to actively manage what you send.”

“The sheer volume of features can also feel overwhelming at first, making it hard to know where to start without proper onboarding or documentation.”
RV

Rakhi V.

QA Lead

“The consequences can include loss of information (due to the developer interpreting the stakeholder's need / wish differently) or confusion (the developer having a tech focused mindset and language while the stakeholders do not)”

Jory S.

Cons

“Its not easy for beginners , no price list on the website, time consuming installation”
