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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"I really enjoy the RUM monitoring features of Datadog. It allows us to monitor user behavior in a way we couldn't before."
"I have found the logging and tracing features the most valuable."
"The solution allows flexibility and heightened observability for presenting data, creating indicators, and setting service-level objectives."
"It has scaled great. I haven't run into any problems anywhere that I've used it. They have handled everything that we have needed them to."
"The application performance monitoring is pretty good."
"The interface and the integrations make it so easy to connect to the cloud or to the on-premise environment."
"The ease of correcting these dashboards and widgets when needed is amazing."
"Its logs are most valuable."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The pricing is a bit confusing."
"Datadog lacks a deeper application-level insight. Their competitors had eclipsed them in offering ET functionality that was important to us. That's why we stopped using it and switched to New Relic. Datadog's price is also high."
"The solution needs to integrate AI tools."
"I often have issues with the UI in my browser."
"Datadog could be improved if it could detect other software in a container or server."
"Datadog isn't as mature as some of the established players like Dynatrace or Splunk. It's a new product, so they are constantly releasing new features, and I don't have much to complain about."
"The real issue with this product is cost control."
"Lacks some flexibility in the customization."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
