AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that Datadog excels in its Alerting functionality, with a score of 9.2, making it a preferred choice for teams needing timely notifications. In contrast, Wazuh's alerting scored slightly lower at 8.6, which some users feel may not meet the urgency required in critical situations.
- Reviewers mention that Datadog's Multi-Cloud Management capabilities are limited, scoring only 6.7, which can be a drawback for organizations operating across various cloud environments. Wazuh, however, offers better support for multi-cloud setups, making it a more suitable option for businesses with diverse cloud strategies.
- Users on G2 highlight Datadog's superior Data Visualization features, scoring 9.0, which allows for more intuitive and insightful dashboards. Wazuh's visualization capabilities, while functional, scored lower at 7.8, leading some users to feel that they lack the depth needed for comprehensive analysis.
- Reviewers say that Wazuh shines in Log Management, achieving a score of 9.4, which is particularly beneficial for security-focused teams needing detailed log analysis. Datadog, while strong in other areas, scored 8.8 in this category, indicating it may not be as robust for users prioritizing log management.
- Users report that Datadog's Real-Time Monitoring capabilities are highly effective, with a score of 9.2, providing immediate insights into system performance. Wazuh's real-time monitoring scored 9.0, which is still strong but may not offer the same level of immediacy that some users desire.
- G2 users mention that Wazuh's Threat Intelligence features are commendable, scoring 8.3, which helps organizations stay ahead of potential security threats. Datadog's threat intelligence features, while present, did not receive as high a score, indicating that Wazuh may be the better choice for security-centric operations.
