We performed a comparison between Datadog and VMware Tanzu Observability by Wavefront based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Management (APM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its integration is most valuable because you can integrate it with various service providers such as AWS, .Net, etc."
"The most valuable aspect is for us to have everything in one place."
"APM and tracing are super useful."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the elastic container service."
"Datadog has given us near-live visibility across our entire cloud platform."
"The many dozens of integrations that the solution brings out of the box are excellent."
"Since we integrated Datadog, we have had increased confidence in the quality of our service, and we had an easier time increasing our delivery velocity."
"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 solution is great for virtualization and preparing the infrastructure in Tanzu to test products. It's very fast and has good visibility."
"For us, the ease of deployment in combination with TMZ was the most important part because we don't have to manually deploy a complex monitoring solution. We can more or less do that with the click of a button, and we are not dependent on the developers to provide us with all the necessary features and functions to make that work. We can just deploy it on a workload cluster and monitor at least a good part of the workload. If we want to go into detail, we clearly need to make changes, but for a good part of application monitoring, it gives us good insights."
"Tanzu itself, integrated with multiple solutions, bestows support and security upon a container platform, especially when it comes to managing open-source container platforms such as Kubernetes."
"Geo-data is also something very critical that we hope to see in the future."
"When it comes to storing the logs with Datadog, I'm not sure why it costs so much to store gigabytes or terabytes of information when it's a fraction of the cost to do so myself."
"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 ease of implementation needs improvement."
"Datadog could be improved if it could detect other software in a container or server."
"It can be overwhelming for new people as it has a lot of features."
"If there were a more cost-effective manner of deploying the tool, we'd be more likely to adopt it more widely."
"When the logs are too big, and Datadog splits them, the JSON format breaks and it is not so useful for us."
"Its billing model is consumption-based. I understand the consumption-based model, but it is not necessarily easy to estimate and guess how many points or how much we are going to consume on a specific application up until we get to that point. So, for us, it would be helpful to have more insights or predictability into what we can expect from a cost perspective if we are starting to use specific features. This can potentially also drive our consumption a bit more."
"The documentation and integration with Kubernetes could be improved."
"The main problem I have is that the license cost is very high."
