Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."Datadog has proven to be easy to set up and legible for both development and operational teams."
"Its logs are most valuable."
"The tools are powerful and intuitive to set up."
"The ability to send notifications based on metadata from the monitor is helpful."
"Excellent autocomplete for everything in the UI."
"I like that you can build out a dashboard pretty quickly. There are some things that come out of the box that you don't really need to do, which is great because they're default settings."
"The web app has a real-time support chat window in which a support engineer is chatting with you within a minute."
"The ease of correcting these dashboards and widgets when needed is amazing."
"What I like best about Loom Systems is that you can use it for infrastructure monitoring. I also like that it's a flexible solution."
"You can develop your own apps within Loom, and they can be configured very simply."
"The solution is absolutely scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can."
"The RFS portion of the solution is the product's most valuable feature."
"We have recently had a number of issues with stability and delays on logging, monitoring, metric evaluation, and alerts."
"I often have issues with the UI in my browser."
"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."
"It is very difficult to make the solutions fit perfectly for large organizations, especially in terms of high cardinality objects and multi-tenancy, where the data needs to be rolled up to a summarized level while maintaining its individual data granularity and identifiers."
"Datadog has a lot of documentation, but a lot of that documentation assumes you know how the service works, which can lead to confusion."
"Graph filters for logs need to be set manually which works well for JSON but not for unstructured logs."
"I'd like to see better pricing and more integration in the next release."
"We want to reduce having to go to different screens to obtain all the information."
"The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this aspect of the product."
"The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation."
"The discovery and mapping still takes a lot of human intervention, it's quite resource heavy,"
"What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority."
