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."Sometimes it's more user friendly for development teams. There are some parts of Datadog that are more understandable for development teams. For example, the APM in Datadog works more manually and works like the tools in New Relic or Grafana, or Elastic. It is easier to understand for software development teams."
"The feature I have found most valuable is when I can reuse existing monitors and alerts for new dashboards."
"It is easy to implement and scale applications with standardized visibility, monitoring and alerting"
"The integration into AWS is key as well as our software is currently bound to AWS."
"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."
"Datadog's log aggregation is really helpful since it lets me and every other engineer on my team login, view, and share logs when we need to debug our application."
"It has enhanced the performance of my team."
"The dashboards and the performance of the software have been great."
"Has a user-friendly UI with a centralized console."
"It also does a good job when it comes to optimizing performance with machine learning and AI. It's able to identify the VMs that are constrained and not constrained, and which ones are "bully" or not. It gives you a recommendation based on your usage. It learns your user environment."
"The centralized management of Nutanix Prism is the best feature."
"By using virtualization, we are saving on the cost of hardware."
"We can also manage our disaster recovery plan from a single console."
"It can combine computing, storage and networks in a single location."
"Simplicity of use."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards."
"One area where I was really looking for improvement was the CSPM product line. I had really wanted to have team-level visibility for findings, since the team managing the resources has much more context and ability to resolve the issue, as the service owner. However, this has been added to the announcement in a recent keynote."
"The ease of implementation needs improvement."
"Additional metrics should be included."
"More granular control over dashboard sharing. Timeboard sharing."
"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."
"We need more integration functionality, including certain metrics integration."
"It would be ideal if the product offered a bit more monitoring from our dashboard."
"Stability of the product has been a concern for us outside of the primary monitoring agents."
"The life cycle management or LCM feature is the most complicated. It takes really long and is unpredictable for our use cases. They should provide more detailed information about the kind of LCM to go for, various errors, and different kinds of tasks. For analytics for certain configurations, we require more details with the report. Sometimes, not all elements are present for support, management, and configuration. For troubleshooting, it would be very easy and useful if we can analyze log files directly from Prism, that is, not from the command line but directly from Prism."
"The simplicity that Prism provides is something of a dual-edged sword. It can be almost too simple at times. When there is an issue and something is really wrong, it can make it a little more difficult to track it down because the Prism interface is very limited for drilling down into those highly technical or highly complicated errors."
"On the technical side, although you don't need a shutdown to upgrade Nutanix, for downgrading you do. If it were possible that when downgrading CPU or memory you didn't have to reboot the VM, that would be very helpful for us."
"The three clusters we have at our remote offices are just one-node clusters. If there were an easier way to upgrade items such as the BIOS, SATA drives, the BMC, et cetera, on those, that would be helpful."
"The cost is a negative aspect."
"Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular."
"We definitely have some issues with Nutanix Prism. Our main issue is that we cannot operate the database. It would seem that less configuration would be desirable, because between Nutanix and the Oracle database on Windows, there tends to be problems."
"The solution should offer the ability to change network settings without removing the network card from the virtual machine."
