We performed a comparison between Datadog and DX Unified Infrastructure Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring 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."
"The feature I have found most valuable is when I can reuse existing monitors and alerts for new dashboards."
"The installation step is pretty straightforward."
"It has a high-level insight into the infrastructure model of the application and provides important detailed data on the host and metrics, which is the main concern of our customers."
"The solution is sufficiently stable."
"The dashboards and the performance of the software have been great."
"Flame graphs are pretty useful for understanding how GraphQL resolves our federated queries when it comes to identifying slow points in our requests. In our microservice environment with 170 services."
"Using the data, our operation teams works with the dashboards to get their statistics, analytics, etc."
"I have found the logging and tracing features the most valuable."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"It is very scalable."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Its settings should be improved for a better understanding of billing. They should also provide some alerts when there is an increase in the usage. For example, if there is 20% more increase from one week to another, the customer should get an alert."
"Datadog could always lower the price!"
"Alerting timing should be improved to be more fine-tuned and exact."
"Datadog has a lot of features kind of cramped into one dashboard. It's quite hard to get around what feature does exactly what. There was a steep learning curve, trying to navigate through menus."
"All solutions have some area to improve, and in Datadog they can improve their overall technology moving forward."
"Could be a little more user friendly."
"For three to four months, we have been experiencing real-time delays. For example, if we're monitoring incoming traffic, the real-time status should be displayed up to a certain point. However, due to delays or issues with Datadog, the real-time data might only be updated at an earlier time. We are experiencing consistent delays in data updates from Datadog, with the most recent data often being delayed by about an hour. This issue has been ongoing for the past four months."
"Datadog is expensive."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
