We performed a comparison between Datadog and Nutanix Prism 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."Anything I've wanted to do, I found a way to get it done through Datadog."
"The most valuable aspects of the product include the APM and profiler."
"I don't have to worry about upgrades with the AWS version."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboards that are provided out of the box, as well as ones we were able to configure."
"Excellent autocomplete for everything in the UI."
"The most valuable features have been: Sharable dashboards, TimeBoards, dogstatsd API, Slack Integration, Event logging API. CloudTrail Events, Tags, alerts, and anomaly detection. EBS Volume Snapshot Age, which they added upon request."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the APM."
"Integrating Datadog with other platforms has made our monitoring processes a bit easier. It's not super simple, but it's manageable."
"It can combine computing, storage and networks in a single location."
"Prism's best features include the single point of failure (SPOF) and ease of implementation."
"Nutanix Insights... does analytics on resource usage for all virtual machines to determine if they are using the allocated resources efficiently or if they are wasting them. It gives us insights into which virtual machines are using the resources over the past months or weeks or days, and which ones are not using them. That way, we can rearrange resource usage for the virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Prism is the single location management. You can manage everything from one location HTML5 web interface which is highly intuitive. The solution is easy to use, you do not need to be an expert in storage."
"The centralized management of Nutanix Prism is the best feature."
"The most valuable feature is that, when you log in, you have customized dashboards. You can add widgets to those dashboards and you can change the density of certain data points in the dashboards. When I log in, I quickly see where the cluster lies, as far as memory and CPU resources go."
"Nutanix Prism is very simple to use compared to other products. I have tried a number of tools, including VMware ESXi. Nutanix Prism is much simpler to use and we feel data transfers in it are very fast."
"You can go directly to the Prism dashboard and it gives you all the information. It's easy to use. I have worked on other platforms but the single pane of glass that Prism has is very helpful for seeing what's going on in your environment: usage, storage, capacity, and behavior."
"The solution should provide alerts for cloud outages."
"Datadog is expensive."
"The more tools that they can build that allow you to run AWX playbooks, or other similar fixes, would benefit clients greatly."
"More granular control over dashboard sharing. Timeboard sharing."
"We'd like Datadog to make the log storage cheaper."
"We have contact with many customers that cover many areas, so we have cases where the infrastructure administration could be improved."
"I often have issues with the UI in my browser."
"The incident management beta looks promising, but it is still missing the ability to automatically create incidents based on certain alerts."
"The main area where an improvement could be made would be the pricing."
"The simplicity that Prism provides is something of a dual-edged sword. It can be almost too simple at times. When there is an issue and something is really wrong, it can make it a little more difficult to track it down because the Prism interface is very limited for drilling down into those highly technical or highly complicated errors."
"The process of converting and importing virtual machines to the Nutanix environment is quite complicated."
"There can be some constraints on how it scales, making granular scaling difficult with the product."
"There are a few areas related to visibility on the dashboard that can be improved. It's good, but the visibility can be improved in terms of single locations."
"When we get a request from a user for a file-level recovery, there are self-recovery options, but they only work if the replication is available to that cluster locally... In VMware, we could restore a VM and attach the hard drive to any other server and copy the file easily. But that kind of facility is not available in AHV."
"Nutanix does not support all of the Linux distributions, so we have to use VMware in some cases."
"Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive."
