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."
"Having a clear view, not only of our infrastructure but our apps and services as well, has brought a great added value to our customers."
"It is great that creating an incident is possible from Slack while having all the relevant data in Datadog."
"Their interface is probably one of the easiest things to use because it lets non-developers and non-engineers quickly get access to metrics and pull business value out of them. We could put together dashboards and give it to people who are non-technical, then they can see the state of the world."
"The network map is crucial in identifying bottlenecks and determining what needs more attention."
"I have found the logging and tracing features the most valuable."
"It brings in observability, monitoring, and alerting capabilities - all of which we need to operate at scale."
"The ability to send notifications based on metadata from the monitor is helpful."
"The Datadog suite has allowed us to easily integrate log collection into all of our services and quickly detect unexpected changes in system data to declare security incidents."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I often have issues with the UI in my browser."
"The pricing is a bit confusing."
"Datadog is so feature-rich that it is often hard to onboard new folks and tough to decide where to invest time."
"At times, it can be hard to generate metrics out of logs."
"We need a lot of modules since we collect all data logs from all operating systems."
"It lacks consistency in the APIs."
"The pricing should be less of a surprise."
"The sheer amount of products that are included can be overwhelming."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"Stability."
"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."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
