We performed a comparison between Datadog and DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"APM and tracing are super useful."
"The solution is useful for monitoring logs."
"Datadog helps us detect issues early on and helps in troubleshooting."
"Datadog has so far been a breeze to use and set up."
"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."
"Flame graphs are pretty useful for understanding how GraphQL resolves our federated queries when it comes to identifying slow points in our requests. In our microservice environment with 170 services."
"I have found the logging and tracing features the most valuable."
"The most valuable aspects of the product include the APM and profiler."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"Billing should be more transparent."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"The ability to find what you are looking for when starting out could be improved."
"The Log Explorer could be better. I don't think it has log manipulation as Splunk does."
"Datadog could make their use cases more visible either through their docs or tutorial videos."
"The way data is represented can be limiting. When I first tried it out a long time ago, you could graph a metric and another metric, and they'd overlay, but you couldn't take the ratio between the two."
"Datadog has a lot of documentation, but a lot of that documentation assumes you know how the service works, which can lead to confusion."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
