Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The feature I have found most valuable is when I can reuse existing monitors and alerts for new dashboards."
"The solution allows flexibility and heightened observability for presenting data, creating indicators, and setting service-level objectives."
"Using the data, our operation teams works with the dashboards to get their statistics, analytics, etc."
"It has enhanced the performance of my team."
"We've been able to glean from the monitors what servers are down, and can alert the team in Slack."
"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."
"Datadog dashboards are pretty great."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboards that are provided out of the box, as well as ones we were able to configure."
"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."
"To be very fair, I haven't had enough experience with Datadog to pick out improvements."
"It can be overwhelming for new people as it has a lot of features."
"We have recently had a number of issues with stability and delays on logging, monitoring, metric evaluation, and alerts."
"Datadog is so feature-rich that it is often hard to onboard new folks and tough to decide where to invest time."
"It can have a more modernized pricing mechanism. We're actually working with them to figure out how to become more modular and have a better and more modernized pricing mechanism. The issue with Datadog is that you have to buy the whole suite of different products, and you kind of get stuck in the old utilization of 40% of their suite. Most organizations today break down between application development, networking, and security. Therefore, there should be a way to break down different modules into just app dev, infosec, networking, etc. Customers have various needs across their business lines, and sometimes, they're just not willing to have tools that they're not using 100%. AppDynamics is probably a little bit better in terms of being modular."
"Datadog could be improved if it could detect other software in a container or server."
"Geo-data is also something very critical that we hope to see in the future."
"I'm not sure if Datadog can monitor K8s deployments in real-time. For instance, being able to see a deployment step by step visually. This would be helpful if there were any incidents during the deployment."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
