We performed a comparison between Datadog and Ixia Hawkeye based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"Datadog has a lot of features to be able to drill down deep into the swath of logs that our platforms generate."
"Datadog's ability to group and visualize the servers and the data makes it relatively easy for the root cause analysis."
"The tools are powerful and intuitive to set up."
"It brings in observability, monitoring, and alerting capabilities - all of which we need to operate at scale."
"We rely heavily on the API crawlers that Datadog uses for cloud integrations. These allow us to pick up and leverage the tags teams have already deployed without having also to make them add them at the agent level."
"The CCM, Workflows, Logs, APM, and RUM are all useful aspects of the solution."
"The fact that everything is under a single pane of glass is really valuable, as developers don't have to spend their time copying correlation IDs across tools to find what they need."
"Integrating Datadog with other platforms has made our monitoring processes a bit easier. It's not super simple, but it's manageable."
"Our customer was happiest with the price of this product."
"It empowers network administrators to access specialized and detailed views for specific tests, including video streaming and performance related to specific applications like video games."
"The ease of setup is the most valuable aspect of this solution. It's easy to set up and run tests."
"The most valuable feature is the deployment because it's very easy to deploy real flow through the network."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"We primarily use the log management functionality, and the only feedback I have there is better fuzzy text searching in logs (the kind that Kibana has)."
"Stability of the product has been a concern for us outside of the primary monitoring agents."
"As a new customer, the Datadog user interface is a bit daunting."
"The product is quite complex, and there are so many features that I either didn't know about or wasn't sure how to use."
"The product could do better with its notifications."
"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."
"Lately, chat support has a longer waiting time."
"I would love to see support for front-end and mobile applications. Right now, it is mostly all back-end stuff. Being able to do some integration with our front-end products would be awesome."
"Improvements in network performance are essential."
"You can't delete more than one thing at a time. It would be great to be able to highlight three out of five things and delete them, whether it's a test or an actual report."
"Ixia has one flaw, which is that they do not print the license code on the paper licenses that are shipped to the customers."
"The customization of tests and even the results can be improved."
