We performed a comparison between Datadog and DX Performance Management 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"With Datadog I can look at the health of the technology stack and services."
"The solution has helped our organization with custom events to track specific cases."
"The most valuable aspect is for us to have everything in one place."
"By moving to Datadog, we did not need to manage our own monitoring infrastructure anymore."
"I have found error reporting and log centralization the most valuable features. Overall, Datadog provides a full package solution."
"This is definitely a good product and I would consider them one of the leaders within the application monitoring and cloud monitoring space."
"It has a high-level insight into the infrastructure model of the application and provides important detailed data on the host and metrics, which is the main concern of our customers."
"It has turned into an operational dashboard. If you felt something is going wrong, you can immediately open up Datadog. It has been our go to application because we know the answer will be there."
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"The ability to very quickly and graphically navigate around, being able to zoom in to a timeframe, apply it to all the other panels... are all very intuitive."
"Scalability is the reason we bought the product to begin with. It was designed from the ground up for carrier-grade services, and we are in effect a MSP ourselves. So we were really interested in looking at something to be able to handle the multi-tenancy and scale as large as possible. This was the only solution that we really considered at that level."
"The capability where not only the traditional SNMP information is captured but also the netflow data; who is consuming the data on the WAN, and voice-related information, is helpful. The voice quality makes it very easy for first- and second-line operators to see where the issue is, and who is impacted."
"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."
"What is most useful is visibility."
"Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"As a new customer, the Datadog user interface is a bit daunting."
"The dashboard could be improved. It would be helpful to get a view of specific things that we need to monitor for our application."
"Their security features could be improved. We looked at their Security Monitoring feature but it was early in its development. Datadog are just getting into the security space so I'm sure this will improve in the future."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Its settings should be improved for a better understanding of billing. They should also provide some alerts when there is an increase in the usage. For example, if there is 20% more increase from one week to another, the customer should get an alert."
"We'd like Datadog to make the log storage cheaper."
"They could have better log reporting."
"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."
"We need more visibility into the error tracking dashboard."
"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."
"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."
"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."
"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."
"When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. "
"DX Performance Management should increase high availability. If one of my two data centers goes offline and the other is operational, I need a seamless transition from the primary to the secondary data center. It's crucial to maintain consistent monitoring of the devices during this transition. Therefore, I require continuous, 24/7 monitoring of my system using this tool."
"I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability."
"Install is done as root, which is a security no-no, and the database IO requirements were not stated correctly, which lead to a year of instability."
