We performed a comparison between Datadog, Moogsoft, and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."Datadog has so far been a breeze to use and set up."
"Its integration is most valuable because you can integrate it with various service providers such as AWS, .Net, etc."
"Going from viewing a metric to creating a monitor alerting on a metric is very easy."
"We enjoy the multistep API tests."
"Datadog is constantly adding new features."
"It has a nice UI."
"Datadog has flexibility."
"Datadog agents act as an integration to different services, providing easy access and management."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
"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."
"The AI component allows you to check previous cases and diagnose problems easily."
"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
"I like the prediction features."
"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."
"Incident management is streamlined with Moogsoft. One standout feature is its unique situation-creation capability, differentiating it from other fault management tools. While other tools typically convert alarms directly into tickets or incidents, Moogsoft adds a middle layer where multiple alarms can be aggregated into one incident. Moogsoft's strong AI capabilities also allow it to correlate similar alarms automatically based on past experiences."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"Deploying the agents is still very manual."
"One thing we have run into is that it is so easy to add monitoring that we turn on things without really understanding the costs."
"Ingesting data from various sources to monitor the log metrics of the system can always improve so that, if something goes wrong, the right teams are alerted."
"It would be great if usage metrics were automatically created and we could create custom metrics, instead we ended up building some of our own stuff to track and alert on our own usage."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"There is always room for improvement when dealing with cloud-based technologies. Mainly, I would say, it's just increasing our offerings to attract various other types of industries and businesses across more fields."
"When it comes to storing the logs with Datadog, I'm not sure why it costs so much to store gigabytes or terabytes of information when it's a fraction of the cost to do so myself."
"While I like the ease of use, when compared with Tenable Nessus they could still improve their usability."
"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."
"Some additional API interfacing would be great to enable getting the data out of AIOps programmatically."
"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."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
"The tool needs to improve its support. It appears that the support responsiveness from Moogsoft is not aligned with the severity of the incident. Instead of proactively addressing issues, customers have to chase Moogsoft for resolution. In Moogsoft, unlike other tools like Splunk, the process follows a step-by-step sequence. You need to start each process in a specific order, typically following a sequence."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"It is taking a long time to set it up and could do more to roll out quickly."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"It could be more stable."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"The server monitoring could be better."
