Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"We integrate our application logs. It is great to be able to tie our metrics and our traces together."
"Since we integrated Datadog, we have had increased confidence in the quality of our service, and we had an easier time increasing our delivery velocity."
"The biggest thing I liked was the combination of all the things - monitoring, log aggregation, and profiling."
"We've been able to glean from the monitors what servers are down, and can alert the team in Slack."
"It is a good one stop location where we keep all our data for our infrastructure, and it's also easier to navigate between different things."
"It has empowered all our platform engineers with a very powerful and easy to use monitoring system."
"Datadog has so far been a breeze to use and set up."
"APM is great and has provided low-effort out-of-the-box observability for various services."
"The most valuable feature is the deployment because it's very easy to deploy real flow through the network."
"The ease of setup is the most valuable aspect of this solution. It's easy to set up and run tests."
"It empowers network administrators to access specialized and detailed views for specific tests, including video streaming and performance related to specific applications like video games."
"Our customer was happiest with the price of this product."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"This service could be less costly."
"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."
"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."
"As a new customer, the Datadog user interface is a bit daunting."
"I would like testing for data in the future."
"It seems that admin cost control granularity is an afterthought."
"We would like to see some versioning system for the Synthetic Tests so that we could have a backup of our tests since they are time-consuming to make and very easy to damage in a moment of error."
"More granular control over dashboard sharing. Timeboard sharing."
"Improvements in network performance are essential."
"The customization of tests and even the results can be improved."
"You can't delete more than one thing at a time. It would be great to be able to highlight three out of five things and delete them, whether it's a test or an actual report."
"Ixia has one flaw, which is that they do not print the license code on the paper licenses that are shipped to the customers."
