Datadog vs. OpsNow

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.

We use OpsNow for Multi-Cloud Management (DXC and Azure) Clouds. This is the best scenario because in only one platform you can have all information about your resources such as your environments, Planning, designing, delivering, operating, and managing the cloud represents more than just infrastructure operations, project or service requests and error handling, to manage your Cloud IT from development to operation in its entirety.

• 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

• 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.

• There isn't Live Online training
• Insufficient languages, for now only available English

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

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.

The general support is very good because is online and also its available during business hours. I think OpsNow doesn't have 10 because support 24/7 isn't available yet. I hope in the near future it will be available.

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.

Azure Monitor: Because we need to have complete control about resource consumption and also know how our systems are running. Aris: Because is very important to have our flows in a single tool. Bubble PPM: It's a good tool because is very easy manage our project with a intuitive UI.

• 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.

Incentivized

• We save almost 1,000,000.00 USD in infrastructure
• Now we have all processes centralized in a single tool
