We performed a comparison between Datadog and Nutanix Prism based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Datadog has clear dashboards and good documentation."
"I have found the logging and tracing features the most valuable."
"We have found that we're able to get in and out of troubleshooting issues much more rapidly, which in turn, of course, enables us to spend more time on our products."
"The feature I have found most valuable is when I can reuse existing monitors and alerts for new dashboards."
"With Datadog I can look at the health of the technology stack and services."
"I find the greatest feature is being able to search across logs from various microservices."
"The performance of Datadog is good."
"Most of the features in the way Datadog does monitoring are commendable and that is the reason we choose it. We did some comparisons before picking Datadog. Datadog was recommended based on the features provided."
"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."
"There are so many valuable features but Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation of the network, and the Life Cycle Manager for dating hardware and software are among the most important for us."
"Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling."
"Nutanix Prism is very simple to use compared to other products. I have tried a number of tools, including VMware ESXi. Nutanix Prism is much simpler to use and we feel data transfers in it are very fast."
"Has a user-friendly UI with a centralized console."
"Its scalability is valuable. It's scalable and fast."
"I am very satisfied with the technical support."
"The biggest plus that I want to commend them for is definitely their one-click update/upgrade feature. I use Prism for that and it's so amazing. That, by itself, is a selling point."
"Datadog does not have the feature where you can monitor external websites or check the SSL secure for websites."
"Even though it is powerful on its own, the UI-based design lacks elegance, efficiency, and complexity."
"We'd like Datadog to make the log storage cheaper."
"The documentation leaves a lot to be desired for new users."
"We want to reduce having to go to different screens to obtain all the information."
"It could use some additional features when working with metrics like Grafana or like New Relic has. Datadog does not use library technologies like Dynatrace does. Datadog has machine learning too, but it does not have this option in all layers of monitoring like infrastructure service process in applications."
"Billing should be more transparent."
"The parallel editing of the dashboards should not cause users to lose the work of another person."
"We're running VMware's ESX hypervisor and a lot of networking isn't done in Prism, it's done at the vCenter level. But for the few proofs of concept that I've done, Prism hasn't been a good experience because there's a lot of command-line work that needs to be done to configure the network."
"The interface is good, but it needs improvements. There are a lot of functions that are only available in the CLI. In addition, some of the hardware components could be improved. We already had some trouble with disks."
"In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores."
"The product currently fails to provide a complete view to customers."
"Prism is not very user-friendly, particularly in its upgrade process, compared to vSAN."
"In our environment we are using it alongside VMware, so some integration with that would be nice. VMware has SHD (Skyline Health Diagnostics) which diagnoses health and gives suggestions. A plug-in for taking information out of it would be helpful."
"Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters."
"Nutanix Prism needs more flexibility commercially and more flexibility with their licensing. Currently they're very fixed on their licensing model, for example, it's based on terabyte calculation."
