Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The ability to send notifications based on metadata from the monitor is helpful."
"Datadog has clear dashboards and good documentation."
"The integration into AWS is key as well as our software is currently bound to AWS."
"The solution is sufficiently stable."
"The dashboards and the performance of the software have been great."
"The solution allows flexibility and heightened observability for presenting data, creating indicators, and setting service-level objectives."
"The most valuable aspects of the product include the APM and profiler."
"The many dozens of integrations that the solution brings out of the box are excellent."
"It's an easy product to set up."
"The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it."
"We use it for monitoring whenever we update a new circuit or site."
"It helps us get to root cause quickly. With utilization and consumption of bandwidth, we can usually see what application is taking as much as they should (or shouldn't), then account for it accordingly."
"I love the single pane of glass view. It makes it easier to not have to navigate everywhere. It allows more simplistic visibility, without having to go from tool to tool to tool, or from window to window to window."
"It is very rock solid. We hardly have any hardware issues."
"The ability to troubleshoot customers' connectivity has been very beneficial."
"The tool has the ability to look back within a month's data. It is very easy to navigate within the tool and troubleshoot the problem, compared to other solutions that we've used in the past."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Managing dashboards as IaC is a bit hard to work out at times."
"The logging could be improved in the future."
"The sheer amount of products that are included can be overwhelming."
"Datadog lacks a deeper application-level insight. Their competitors had eclipsed them in offering ET functionality that was important to us. That's why we stopped using it and switched to New Relic. Datadog's price is also high."
"Ingesting data from various sources to monitor the log metrics of the system can always improve so that, if something goes wrong, the right teams are alerted."
"The pricing should be less of a surprise."
"Delta traces on the Golang profiler are extremely expensive concerning memory utilization."
"It could use some additional features when working with metrics like Grafana or like New Relic has. Datadog does not use library technologies like Dynatrace does. Datadog has machine learning too, but it does not have this option in all layers of monitoring like infrastructure service process in applications."
"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."
"The monitoring and reporting tool needs improvement. Users want more information, such as the level of detail when doing a packet analysis. They want more detail to be able to isolate down to a specific point."
"It's not able to communicate with our probes."
"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."
"The stability depends on who is using the tool, because you only can get as much out of the tool as you put into it. There are a lot of patches for this particular environment, so you have to keep on them. If you lose track of them, then the product is not useful anymore."
"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM. I don't like when devices go end-of-life on us so quickly. If we can get more of an advanced notice of when an end-of-life is brought up, because our certification process within the organization takes a while."
"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."
"Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues."
