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."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"I don't have to rely on the on-site engineer who can do the configuration. I can have our team just plug the devices and perform remotely. I can also do the templates."
"The product has excellent stability."
"The interface of this solution is easy to use overall."
"Automation of the ILS."
"We use the product to manage access points."
"Fabric suite automation is a great feature."
"It uses push technology, which pushes the changes to all relevant devices to ensure they are updated accordingly."
"The most valuable feature is the connectivity monitoring."
"It is a good one stop location where we keep all our data for our infrastructure, and it's also easier to navigate between different things."
"Overall, the Data UI and the usability of customer features continue to improve."
"The RUM solution has improved our ability to triage faster and hand more capabilities to our customer support."
"The application performance monitoring is pretty good."
"It has enhanced the performance of my team."
"The visibility that it provides is valuable. It is helping in being proactive around incident management. It is helping us to be able to get more visibility into our customers' applications so that we can assist them at the application layer. We also provide them the infrastructure from an AWS standpoint. We are able to make sure that our customers are aware of certain critical things around the analytical piece of either the network or the application. We're able to call customers before they even know about the issue. From there, we can start putting together some change management processes and help them a bit."
"Their interface is probably one of the easiest things to use because it lets non-developers and non-engineers quickly get access to metrics and pull business value out of them. We could put together dashboards and give it to people who are non-technical, then they can see the state of the world."
"The most valuable features are logging, the extensive set of integrations, and easy jumpstart."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It's a relatively expensive product for some clients."

"It would be nice to have the ability to more easily collect information from other software when doing some types of analysis."
"The visibility of applications is not great."
"The solution should provide alerts for cloud outages."
"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."
"It can be overwhelming for new people as it has a lot of features."
"I sometimes log in and see items changed, either in the UI or a feature enabled. To see it for the first time without proper communication can sometimes come as a shock."
"Datadog is expensive."
"We would like to see smaller or shorter tutorials and video sessions."
