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."
"We rely heavily on the API crawlers that Datadog uses for cloud integrations. These allow us to pick up and leverage the tags teams have already deployed without having also to make them add them at the agent level."
"Datadog agents act as an integration to different services, providing easy access and management."
"I have found the logging and tracing features the most valuable."
"Datadog's ability to group and visualize the servers and the data makes it relatively easy for the root cause analysis."
"It has empowered all our platform engineers with a very powerful and easy to use monitoring system."
"The integration into AWS is key as well as our software is currently bound to AWS."
"It lets us react more quickly to things going wrong. Whereas before, it might have been 30 minutes to an hour before we noticed something going on, we will know within a minute or two if something is off, which will let us essentially get something back up and running faster for our customers, which is revenue."
"Dashboards and their versatility are among the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"Wire data analytics."
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The dashboard could be improved. It would be helpful to get a view of specific things that we need to monitor for our application."
"Geo-data is also something very critical that we hope to see in the future."
"Even though it is powerful on its own, the UI-based design lacks elegance, efficiency, and complexity."
"Datadog could improve the flexibility with AI and ML concepts. This will allow customers to be more leveraged towards publishing."
"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."
"The incident management beta looks promising, but it is still missing the ability to automatically create incidents based on certain alerts."
"If there were a more cost-effective manner of deploying the tool, we'd be more likely to adopt it more widely."
"I'm still exploring the trial version, and it is fine. One thing that I haven't been able to figure out is how to retrieve a report. This is something that could be improved. I probably need to navigate to a place to access the reports."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
