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."
"The tool's deployment is easy."
"The management of SLOs and their related burn-rate monitors have allowed us to onboard teams to on-call fast."
"The observability on offer is the most useful aspect of the product."
"I don't have to worry about upgrades with the AWS version."
"The most useful feature is the APM."
"Datadog has a lot of features to be able to drill down deep into the swath of logs that our platforms generate."
"This is definitely a good product and I would consider them one of the leaders within the application monitoring and cloud monitoring space."
"We rely heavily on the API crawlers that Datadog uses for cloud integrations. These allow us to pick up and leverage the tags teams have already deployed without having also to make them add them at the agent level."
"vSTREAM gives us better visibility and reporting about our network infrastructure, allowing for cost-optimization."
"One of the valuable features is the packet decoding."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
"The correlation between the logs and the metrics needs improvement as most cases, we might use another logging tool (that is cheaper in cost) which we then have to link together."
"They should continue expanding and integrating with more third-party apps."
"The incident management beta looks promising, but it is still missing the ability to automatically create incidents based on certain alerts."
"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."
"The parallel editing of the dashboards should not cause users to lose the work of another person."
"It would be nice to be able to graph metrics by excluding certain tags (like you can do in monitors)."
"It does not have the best interface."
"I would like for it to have a smaller footprint of the virtual appliance and better performance."
"Room for improvement exists in filtering in the packet decode."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user guide."
