"What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability."
"Intersight can validate our environment."
"Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration."
"Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration. It's also easy to set up."
"We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one."
"I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module."
"The product has good integration."
"Even if we don't end up using Datadog, it revealed problems and optimizations to us that weren't obvious before."
"The interface and the integrations make it so easy to connect to the cloud or to the on-premise environment."
"By moving to Datadog, we did not need to manage our own monitoring infrastructure anymore."
"Using the data, our operation teams works with the dashboards to get their statistics, analytics, etc."
"Because of our client focus, it is easy for us to sell. This is because it is easy to use and easy to set up."
"Its integration definitely stands out. It provides seamless monitoring of all our systems, services, apps, and whatever else we secure and monitor. Visualizations have become simpler with dashboards. We are getting visibility into systems, services, and apps stack through a single pane of glass, which is good. We are able to put logs in context."
"The most valuable aspect is for us to have everything in one place."
"The solution is useful for monitoring logs."
"The usability must be better."
"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes."
"The product could be easy to use."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."
"When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs."
"It's a very complex solution."
"Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement."
"The product's setup should be easier."
"ECS could be improved by including more tutorials for beginners to reduce the barriers to entry."
"When the logs are too big, and Datadog splits them, the JSON format breaks and it is not so useful for us."
"We need more visibility into the error tracking dashboard."
"If there were a more cost-effective manner of deploying the tool, we'd be more likely to adopt it more widely."
"Datadog has a lot of documentation, but a lot of that documentation assumes you know how the service works, which can lead to confusion."
"I often have issues with the UI in my browser."
"It seems that admin cost control granularity is an afterthought."
"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."
