Likelihood to Recommend DataDog Is well suited to all of the Infrastructure Monitoring Solutions, DB monitoring, and other Network monitoring also. It's not well suited because it cannot give perfect Infrastructure recommendations for our use case but also For example: If we are using AWS DB to monitor performance insights then Datadog is less effective there because AWS gives very niche recommendations.
Read full review SiteScope is definitely well suited in an HP server environment. It is also well suited for virtual server environments. It is also well suited for those who are happy with email and text based message alerting. It may not be appropriate in other environments where monitoring physical components is critical. Because HP SiteScope does not monitor certain physical components, it does fall short of being able to be a "one stop shop solution" in regard to monitoring. It is not well suited for those looking for logic in how alerts are sent and cascade to other people or groups.

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 Read full review Alerts can be configured as per business requirement. It can take remedial action, when defined for a particular situation. Severity, priority of tickets which are created upon a trigger can be well defined. The teams which need to be alerted can be configured in the tool itself, in case of any event. Read full review Cons We had a couple "integrations" that had some issues during setup, but Support addressed them very quickly Unnecessary alerts about DataDog components...by the time I see them, they're almost always also fixed I wish there was a DataDog mobile app that would have dedicated alerts (configurable per alert to override Do Not Disturb setting) instead of relying on emails notifications that could be overlooked in the midst of many incoming emails around the same time. Read full review Sitescope is particularly used for infrastructure monitoring. Other kinds of monitors cannot be set using HP sitescope. Sitescope cannot have graphs like splunk which is why we have splunk as well which is an additional cost for the company. We can't have a direct regex operations on data inside HP sitescope. We need to have the logs placed as a single log and then do that. Read full review Usability The user interface is quite intuitive with the exception of the network map. As a deployer of software, it is trivial to setup.

Read full review Support Rating The support team usually gets it right. We did have a rather complicate issue setting up monitoring on a domain controller. However, they are usually responsive and helpful over chat. The downside would be I don’t think they have any phone support. If that is important to you this might not be a good fit.

Read full review Alternatives Considered We are still trying other products, but people still like Datadog. After setting up a dashboard, it's great for monitoring instances on Datadog. Also, the DevOps team had a good time setting up Datadog. It means Datadog was way easier to set up compared to those others.

Read full review Return on Investment Visibility into website issues and performance problems has improved our company communication. Handling and detecting site issues faster has improved customer satisfaction and retention. Configuration of the Datadog site can take a bit of time and we lost a bit of developer time during that process. Read full review Sitescope does exactly what it was purchased for. It may take some time to set it up but once its set up it is a rock solid product. Read full review ScreenShots
