"The most valuable features are logging, the extensive set of integrations, and easy jumpstart."
"Straightforward to integrate and automate."
"The most valuable features have been: Sharable dashboards, TimeBoards, dogstatsd API, Slack Integration, Event logging API. CloudTrail Events, Tags, alerts, and anomaly detection. EBS Volume Snapshot Age, which they added upon request."
"Profiling has been made easier."
"We have found that we're able to get in and out of troubleshooting issues much more rapidly, which in turn, of course, enables us to spend more time on our products."
"The most valuable aspects of the product include the APM and profiler."
"The fact that everything is under a single pane of glass is really valuable, as developers don't have to spend their time copying correlation IDs across tools to find what they need."
"Tickets by e-mail, with actions by hastag."
"The most valuable features are the inventory and personalization."
"Spiceworks is generic and free."
"It was easy to integrate Spiceworks with our existing setup."
"It shows the users that are currently logged in, which is not something that Active Directory by default will ever let you know up front."
"The solution is very stable. It's reliable and efficient."
"The solution can find all asset details automatically, whether it's a Mac address, computer name, IP address, models, etc. It's very helpful."
"Helpdesk and inventory are both equally valuable, and they form the true core of the product."
"It can be overwhelming for new people as it has a lot of features."
"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."
"I would love to see more metrics or analytics in IoT devices."
"Once Datadog has gained wide adoption, it can often be overwhelming to both know and understand where to go to find answers to questions."
"The pricing should be less of a surprise."
"More pre-configured "Monitor Alerts" would be helpful."
"I've only been using Datadog for a few months, and at first, it was frankly overwhelming in terms of both the UI and the available capabilities."
"The solution should provide alerts for cloud outages."
"The SNMP sniffer requires a lot of work to get right."
"Since Spiceworks is a free tool, it's not very scriptable or customizable."
"The network mapping could be improved. Putting together an actual bonafide network map would be really nice."
"Having an integrated asset management tool, where I can plug in things that are offline, would be good."
"I would like to see more information when drilling down into access permissions, assignments management, or tagging. When I click a note or a device, I should be able to see more details about the router and modem. For example, I want to see the version, downtime, availability, latency, etc. I should have easy access to everything about our assets at a glance."
"With Spiceworks, like, when I open the websites, I have to Zoom in. I need to zoom in on those websites sometimes because it makes it horrible to use."
"They've also tried to integrate it with social logins, like Twitter and LinkedIn, and that type of login authentication has no place in a corporate application."
"Once a device was recognized on the network, Spiceworks never got rid of it even after you took it off the network. You had to go in and manually remove it."
