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."Because of our client focus, it is easy for us to sell. This is because it is easy to use and easy to set up."
"It is great that creating an incident is possible from Slack while having all the relevant data in Datadog."
"We find they have a very helpful alert system."
"It has empowered all our platform engineers with a very powerful and easy to use monitoring system."
"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 performance of Datadog is good."
"Datadog has clear dashboards and good documentation."
"The GUI and the dashboard are impressive. I like that you can modify the GUI and the dashboard as per your requirements."
"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."
"Nutanix has one of the greatest support organizations that I've ever had to use. They're polite, you get someone on the phone fast, and they always find a solution for you."
"For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"What I like the most are the self-healing and the ability to see everything at a glance, from metrics to the resiliency status of the hardware. As soon as you log in, that's what you see."
"Prism Central is a single point to manage every cluster. Everything can be managed in one panel. Everything is there on the main page of the dashboard."
"One valuable aspect of Nutanix Prism is how easy it is to set up. The setup process is useful to us because all we need to do is to set some variables and go with the recommended settings."
"In the six years we have been using Nutanix Prism, we have never had a problem with stability."
"I found the documentation can sometimes be confusing."
"The Log Explorer could be better. I don't think it has log manipulation as Splunk does."
"The parallel editing of the dashboards should not cause users to lose the work of another person."
"Additional metrics should be included."
"They should continue expanding and integrating with more third-party apps."
"We need more integration with security tools like Drata."
"Some of the interface is still confusing to use."
"I would love to see more metrics or analytics in IoT devices."
"The product currently fails to provide a complete view to customers."
"Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive."
"I would like to have some cluster management tools included."
"In our environment we are using it alongside VMware, so some integration with that would be nice. VMware has SHD (Skyline Health Diagnostics) which diagnoses health and gives suggestions. A plug-in for taking information out of it would be helpful."
"Prism is not very user-friendly, particularly in its upgrade process, compared to vSAN."
"Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular."
"It doesn't integrate very well with any backup solution."
"The VM backup could be better, and its licensing could be better. We have had some licensing issues with Nutanix Files. The default license should be 1 TB or more. Currently, for Nutanix Files sharing, we can only use 500 Gigabytes."
