We performed a comparison between Datadog and NETSCOUT nGeniusONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The ease of correcting these dashboards and widgets when needed is amazing."
"We have hundreds of microservices, and knowing how top-level requests weave throughout all of them is invaluable."
"Anything I've wanted to do, I found a way to get it done through Datadog."
"APM is great and has provided low-effort out-of-the-box observability for various services."
"We've found it most useful for managing Rstudio Workbench, which has its own logs that would not be picked up via Cloudwatch."
"It is a good one stop location where we keep all our data for our infrastructure, and it's also easier to navigate between different things."
"The interface and the integrations make it so easy to connect to the cloud or to the on-premise environment."
"The seamless integration between Datadog and hundreds of apps makes onboarding new products and teams a breeze."
"Valuable features include data threat detection, network analytics, and overall bandwidth monitoring."
"The valuable features include packet analysis, packet capture, and [that] it's easy to use."
"The packet capture is the most valuable feature for us. It gathers data from the device. In case somebody has a problem, I can go back X amount of time - days, hours - and get the data to do real troubleshooting."
"If a lot of traffic from one site is hitting AWS Cloud or the data center, then we want to know which client is utilizing the most bandwidth. We will work with nGeniusONE to troubleshoot the issue."
"The visual and graphical interfaces in the display that it provides for us to show our senior leadership. We can show them what is actually happening, instead of a spreadsheet."
"It has versatility to correlate different traffic types and performance management statistics."
"For me, the most valuable features are the dashboards which we use to highlight the overall impact to the customers, and being able to drill down into the nitty-gritty of the customer experience."
"The ability of the dashboards is useful for discover, mapping and understanding of application behaviour."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"I'm not sure what kind of features are in the roadmap right now, but I encourage the development of features for defining your organization, and allowing the visibility of what kind of metrics you can get. Those features would be really useful for us."
"I would love to see more metrics or analytics in IoT devices."
"Datadog is so feature-rich that it is often hard to onboard new folks and tough to decide where to invest time."
"Datadog does not have the feature where you can monitor external websites or check the SSL secure for websites."
"We need to learn more about the session reply feature inside of DD."
"The menu on the left is pretty dense (and I know it has to be). I never knew about the cmd+k functionality until recently. It would be helpful to offer more tips/cheat sheets to see handy shortcuts like that."
"If there were a more cost-effective manner of deploying the tool, we'd be more likely to adopt it more widely."
"We'd like Datadog to make the log storage cheaper."
"We would like more encryption of customer data, because we have a very security conscious company. We have a lot of regulation coming in which requires us to make customer data private."
"There was a point in GTP where we were creating services on nodes and after that we wanted to have services on APN. We can't have both... There are some limitations with these types of things. When we would like to use a feature, we have to remove another one."
"Some of the filters could be easier to see and to set up. That's the only thing that I've ever had any trouble with."
"I would love to have them reassemble fragmented packets. That would be a very big plus in my book."
"I'd like to see the nGeniusONE, the nGeniusPULSE, and the OptiView, their three separate products, work a little better together, a little more streamlined."
"Some help screens would be nice, especially if we bring on new operators. It would be great to see if they have more helpful tips available."
"It could have an easier to understand interface."
"In previous versions, we used to have an icon on the dashboard when the situation analysis would present an alert. It would be nice if that would be made available on the dashboard again. Something that could be customizable to only illuminate on certain applications."
