Datadog vs ManageEngine OpManager

Likelihood to Recommend

Datadog is a no-brainer for any environment that relies on multiple servers. Even for one server, it's so much better to use for monitoring and alert capability than anything else I remember looking at before we started using Datadog. Teams can even use it to track their progress of investigating an alert so multiple people aren't unknowingly looking into the same exact issue unnecessarily.

There were some market leader monitoring products [until] this year which were hard to replace due to their customer base even when ManageEngine had equivalent capability similar to other vendor products but still ManageEngine was not the top. I think its time ManageEngine [OpManager] can become number 1 monitoring choice as a replacement of existing market leader tool due to following reasons - 1. Powerful capabilities.2. Same Licensing Cost.3. Product maturity

Pros

APIs, the ability to interact with the data we pull into data dog is key. We port the information over to Servicenow, so the ability to pull everything into DataDog, then Servicenow, is a key component of our success here at Wayfair.
Simple Interface - clean, useful, effective. Allows users to use DataDog for one reason, get work done.
Lightweight agent on hosts

Cons

User interface could be improved in some areas, looking for host information and the agent install link takes a bit of time.
Configuration of the agent is generally done via a config file which is a pro and a con. It would be nice to have some UI to configure various agent options.
Billing isn't entirely straightforward, they could use more reports to figure out the source of your monthly costs.

The interface can be complicated for novice users.
Updates are continually released, lots of downtime to upgrade.
Occasionally product MIBs are not available.

The user interface is quite intuitive with the exception of the network map. As a deployer of software, it is trivial to setup.

Datadog 8.4

Based on 12 answers

Our experience working with their support found them to be helpful and quick to respond. Also, as many of their integrations are open source, improvements we desired could be tracked and even driven by us. Their documentation is excellent and makes integrating their tooling simple and makes standing up monitoring for new application a quick and painless process.

At first, we were not able to add our Avaya switches to the configuration backup module, our partner tried to help, but they did not find the solution, we had one remote session with tech support of ME and they solve the problem.

New Relic APM is a great application performance monitoring tool, but the agent was producing an increased load on our system compared to Datadog. Datadog also gives the flexibility of going outside of the boundaries of the application and looking at system performance as well, which can have a large impact on application performance.

Return on Investment

One of our critical production databases went down a couple of weeks back. Just because we had the Datadog monitoring enabled for that database, Datadog sent the alerts to PagerDuty and we were instantly notified via pager and email alert. We could act right away and bring up the database within a few mins.
Ability to create custom screenboards have allowed us to track the critical and warning alerts in front of our eyes all the time
