"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Because of our client focus, it is easy for us to sell. This is because it is easy to use and easy to set up."
"If we have a large load for users using our basic Datadog, it will immediately fire off an alert notifying us either something's wrong or not."
"It helps us better manage our logs."
"The service catalog helped improve our organization by giving a good view of the flow for our microservices applications."
"It is easy to navigate the menu and create tests."
"The solution has helped our organization with custom events to track specific cases."
"For us to have visibility into our app stack and the hardware we run has been highly beneficial."
"I don't have to worry about upgrades with the AWS version."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"We would really like to see more from the Service Catalog."
"The product needs a better Datadog agent installation."
"The real issue with this product is cost control."
"It could use some additional features when working with metrics like Grafana or like New Relic has. Datadog does not use library technologies like Dynatrace does. Datadog has machine learning too, but it does not have this option in all layers of monitoring like infrastructure service process in applications."
"More pre-configured "Monitor Alerts" would be helpful."
"The product could be improved by providing remote control to agents, enabling them to execute automation and collections without requiring another automation tool or integration."
"Federated views for Datadog dashboards are critical as large companies utilize multiple instances of the product and cannot link the metrics or correlate the metrics together. This stunts the usage of Datadog."
"The pricing should be less of a surprise."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
