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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The dashboards are great."
"The interface and the integrations make it so easy to connect to the cloud or to the on-premise environment."
"We find they have a very helpful alert system."
"Excellent autocomplete for everything in the UI."
"The installation step is pretty straightforward."
"It is easy to navigate the menu and create tests."
"Datadog has made it much easier to have a central place for people to look for logs and made it much easier to notify them of any elevated error rates or failures."
"Datadog has helped us a ton by allowing us to set up a multitude of easily configurable alarms across our tech stack and infrastructure."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"Auto instrumentation on tracing has not been very easy to find in the documentation."
"The dashboard could be improved. It would be helpful to get a view of specific things that we need to monitor for our application."
"We need more integration with security tools like Drata."
"Datadog could make their use cases more visible either through their docs or tutorial videos."
"Some of the interface is still confusing to use."
"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."
"ECS could be improved by including more tutorials for beginners to reduce the barriers to entry."
"We need a lot of modules since we collect all data logs from all operating systems."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
