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."
"Excellent autocomplete for everything in the UI."
"Even if we don't end up using Datadog, it revealed problems and optimizations to us that weren't obvious before."
"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."
"I like the amount of tooling and the number of solutions they sold with their monitoring. Datadog was highly intuitive to use."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"We integrate our application logs. It is great to be able to tie our metrics and our traces together."
"Datadog has clear dashboards and good documentation."
"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."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution should provide alerts for cloud outages."
"It can have an artificial intelligence component. Even though I can seamlessly look at end-to-end security, it would be better to have alerts and notifications powered by an AI engine. I am not sure if they have an AI component. We have not reached out to them or looked at it, but this is something that I keep on talking about within our company in terms of features. Such a feature would be good to have, and it would further optimize my Security Ops team's abilities."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"We have contact with many customers that cover many areas, so we have cases where the infrastructure administration could be improved."
"To be very fair, I haven't had enough experience with Datadog to pick out improvements."
"If there were a more cost-effective manner of deploying the tool, we'd be more likely to adopt it more widely."
"Their security features could be improved. We looked at their Security Monitoring feature but it was early in its development. Datadog are just getting into the security space so I'm sure this will improve in the future."
"Datadog could be improved if it could detect other software in a container or server."
"Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."
