We performed a comparison between Cisco UCS Manager and Datadog 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."We can configure the Cisco UCS Manager, the profiles and interactions with the resource we manage."
"When one server fails, we can attach the service profile to a new server, which saves a lot of time."
"What I like most about Cisco UCS Manager is the ease of administration. It also allows the central management of maintenance, installation, and configuration activities."
"From a usability and functionality perspective, Cisco UCS Manager is very good."
"Cisco Infrastructure is one of the top vendors and no one can beat them in terms of switching and routing."
"The flexibility and the ease in which the features can be expanded are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The management is one of the most valuable features of this solution."
"The hardware is very powerful and it is a stable solution."
"Datadog has so far been a breeze to use and set up."
"The integration into AWS is key as well as our software is currently bound to AWS."
"Datadog has given us near-live visibility across our entire cloud platform."
"Datadog has helped us a ton by allowing us to set up a multitude of easily configurable alarms across our tech stack and infrastructure."
"The solution has offered increased visibility via logging APM, metrics, RUM, etc."
"Datadog provides tracing and logging, whereas Dynatrace focuses on tracing, and Splunk is more of a logging tool. Datadog's advantage is that we don't need two tools."
"Dashboards and their versatility are among the most valuable features."
"It has enhanced the performance of my team."
"Upgrading the firmware is a difficult procedure."
"The interface and the way it is constructed is very complex. They should work to simplify it. It's quite difficult for somebody who doesn't know the product very well. Users should be able to get proficient with it faster. There's definitely room for improvement there."
"I would like to see Cisco UCS optionally work as a hyper-converged system because right now, it only operates as a converged system."
"I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go."
"Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult."
"We have three data centers and if we could manage all three data centers using one interface, it would be great."
"The solution's pricing is high and could be reduced."
"The installation and upgrade sytems need to be improved."
"We have asked technical support questions, and sometimes they don't get back to us right away. Or when they do, it is not the right answer."
"It would be nice to be able to graph metrics by excluding certain tags (like you can do in monitors)."
"There is occasional UI slowness and bugs."
"I'm not sure what kind of features are in the roadmap right now, but I encourage the development of features for defining your organization, and allowing the visibility of what kind of metrics you can get. Those features would be really useful for us."
"The product needs a better Datadog agent installation."
"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."
"Datadog needs more local Asia-Pacific support, and if they don't have a SaaS solution in Asia-Pacific, they should offer an on-prem version. I'm told that's not possible."
"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."
