We performed a comparison between Datadog, Moogsoft, and Nagios XI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."We've been able to glean from the monitors what servers are down, and can alert the team in Slack."
"Datadog is constantly adding new features."
"It is great that creating an incident is possible from Slack while having all the relevant data in Datadog."
"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."
"It has empowered all our platform engineers with a very powerful and easy to use monitoring system."
"The solution is useful for monitoring logs."
"The service catalog helped improve our organization by giving a good view of the flow for our microservices applications."
"Datadog provides tracing and logging, whereas Dynatrace focuses on tracing, and Splunk is more of a logging tool. Datadog's advantage is that we don't need two tools."
"The AI component allows you to check previous cases and diagnose problems easily."
"The solution is extremely helpful with correlating IP failures and it has a very good sort of flow chart of IP systems. For example, if you see a failure in system A, you can track it down to the system causing the issue. This is a very handy feature."
"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"I like the prediction features."
"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
"Moogsoft AIOps integrates seamlessly with 50-plus IT monitoring, automation, service management, notification, and collaboration tools. It also provides a great and easy-to-use interface for observing."
"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
"There are AI features in Moogsoft. Moogsoft has one wonderful feature that allows you to convert multiple alarms into situations. Generally, all other MoM tools get the alarms, and then convert it into an incident directly. There is one extra layer they have added before converting any alarm into an incident. Suppose there are multiple alarms that are somehow all related to a single source of issue. It converts all the alarms into a single situation, which then gets converted into an incident."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The most valuable features of Nagios XI are you can customize it based on your use case and requirements. It is flexible and easy to integrate with our systems. You can customize the solution by adding additional features using code."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"Datadog could have a better business analysis module."
"They could have better log reporting."
"Datadog has a lot of documentation, but a lot of that documentation assumes you know how the service works, which can lead to confusion."
"The real issue with this product is cost control."
"We need more advanced querying against logs."
"At the beginning, when we started throwing logs at it, there was a bit of hiccup. However, this was during their beta period, so hiccups were expected."
"Datadog could always lower the price!"
"Since the Datadog platform has so many separate features, solving so many use cases, there are often inconsistencies in feature availability and interoperability between products."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"They should consider including Chatbot."
"I would like to see how Moogsoft integrates with the multi-cloud and brings out a single pane of glass, to see everything on one screen."
"Some additional API interfacing would be great to enable getting the data out of AIOps programmatically."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"They are very much dependent on open-source technologies like RabbitMQ message bus. They are using open-source databases, Apache Tomcat, NGINX. If we face any issues with Apache Tomcat or the RabbitMQ message bus, then we do not get support from them. We have to troubleshoot it ourselves."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
