We performed a comparison between Datadog and SCOM 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"It has scaled great. I haven't run into any problems anywhere that I've used it. They have handled everything that we have needed them to."
"The dashboards and the performance of the software have been great."
"APM and tracing are super useful."
"We have found that we're able to get in and out of troubleshooting issues much more rapidly, which in turn, of course, enables us to spend more time on our products."
"This is definitely a good product and I would consider them one of the leaders within the application monitoring and cloud monitoring space."
"We have been able to set very specific CPU and memory alerts, at the very base level, then we started to pull real business value, like 99th percentile response rates for our API calls."
"The interface and the integrations make it so easy to connect to the cloud or to the on-premise environment."
"We've found it most useful for managing Rstudio Workbench, which has its own logs that would not be picked up via Cloudwatch."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"This solution helps our application teams by allowing them to drill further into issues and perform a root cause analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"The tool helps to monitor Windows servers. It offers alerts from a central location."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The correlation between the logs and the metrics needs improvement as most cases, we might use another logging tool (that is cheaper in cost) which we then have to link together."
"All solutions have some area to improve, and in Datadog they can improve their overall technology moving forward."
"It is very difficult to make the solutions fit perfectly for large organizations, especially in terms of high cardinality objects and multi-tenancy, where the data needs to be rolled up to a summarized level while maintaining its individual data granularity and identifiers."
"There are things about it that we would like to be fixed, such as it is taking averages of average. This results in data that we don't expect."
"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)."
"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."
"I would like testing for data in the future."
"I would love to see more metrics or analytics in IoT devices."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"The price could be improved."
"I would like to see them improve their network monitoring."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
