Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool helps to manage Cisco servers."
"Provides an overall view using a single portal."
"Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration. It's also easy to set up."
"Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."
"Intersight can validate our environment."
"The product has good integration."
"We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one."
"What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability."
"Its logs are most valuable."
"The dashboards and the performance of the software have been great."
"It brings in observability, monitoring, and alerting capabilities - all of which we need to operate at scale."
"Excellent autocomplete for everything in the UI."
"The solution is sufficiently stable."
"We've found it most useful for managing Rstudio Workbench, which has its own logs that would not be picked up via Cloudwatch."
"It has provided visibility with ease of implementation and allowed multiple teams to quickly onboard it."
"The full stack of integrations made it easier to monitor the different technologies and platform providers, including Software as a Service providers, that otherwise would need a lot of work and customization to be able to see what is happening."
"Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement."
"In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage."
"The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."
"It's a very complex solution."
"When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."
"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes."
"The product's setup should be easier."
"While I like the ease of use, when compared with Tenable Nessus they could still improve their usability."
"The way data is represented can be limiting. When I first tried it out a long time ago, you could graph a metric and another metric, and they'd overlay, but you couldn't take the ratio between the two."
"I would like better navigability across pages."
"The installation is easy for me. However, if you are new to this solution it might not be so easy."
"Datadog needs more local Asia-Pacific support, and if they don't have a SaaS solution in Asia-Pacific, they should offer an on-prem version. I'm told that's not possible."
"The more tools that they can build that allow you to run AWX playbooks, or other similar fixes, would benefit clients greatly."
"Datadog has a lot of documentation, but a lot of that documentation assumes you know how the service works, which can lead to confusion."
"Managing dashboards as IaC is a bit hard to work out at times."
