We performed a comparison between Datadog and DX Unified Infrastructure Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud 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."
"Datadog's seamless integration with Slack and PagerDuty helped us to receive alerts right to the most common notification methods we use (our mobile devices and Slack)."
"Even if we don't end up using Datadog, it revealed problems and optimizations to us that weren't obvious before."
"The solution is useful for monitoring logs."
"Datadog has helped us a ton by allowing us to set up a multitude of easily configurable alarms across our tech stack and infrastructure."
"Excellent autocomplete for everything in the UI."
"It has scaled great. I haven't run into any problems anywhere that I've used it. They have handled everything that we have needed them to."
"It has enhanced the performance of my team."
"Having a wealth of information has helped us investigate outages, and having historical data helps us tune our system."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The error traceability is an area that can be improved."
"The pricing should be less of a surprise."
"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."
"For three to four months, we have been experiencing real-time delays. For example, if we're monitoring incoming traffic, the real-time status should be displayed up to a certain point. However, due to delays or issues with Datadog, the real-time data might only be updated at an earlier time. We are experiencing consistent delays in data updates from Datadog, with the most recent data often being delayed by about an hour. This issue has been ongoing for the past four months."
"They should continue expanding and integrating with more third-party apps."
"Billing should be more transparent."
"It seems that admin cost control granularity is an afterthought."
"When I started using it years ago, it had stability problems. I remember, specifically, we ran everything in Docker containers. There were some problems getting it into a Docker container with very specific memory limits."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
