We performed a comparison between Cisco Intersight and Datadog based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module."
"Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration. It's also easy to set up."
"Intersight can validate our environment."
"Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration."
"The product has good integration."
"Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."
"What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability."
"We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one."
"The solution has helped our organization with custom events to track specific cases."
"It brings in observability, monitoring, and alerting capabilities - all of which we need to operate at scale."
"The dashboards are great."
"The solution is useful for monitoring logs."
"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."
"We have way more observability than what we had before - on the application and the overall system."
"Datadog is constantly adding new features."
"Its integration is most valuable because you can integrate it with various service providers such as AWS, .Net, etc."
"When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs."
"The product could be easy to use."
"Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."
"In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage."
"The product's setup should be easier."
"It's a very complex solution."
"The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."
"The way data is represented can be limiting. When I first tried it out a long time ago, you could graph a metric and another metric, and they'd overlay, but you couldn't take the ratio between the two."
"At the beginning, when we started throwing logs at it, there was a bit of hiccup. However, this was during their beta period, so hiccups were expected."
"This service could be less costly."
"Their security features could be improved. We looked at their Security Monitoring feature but it was early in its development. Datadog are just getting into the security space so I'm sure this will improve in the future."
"The product needs to have more enterprise approach to configuration."
"The dashboard could be improved. It would be helpful to get a view of specific things that we need to monitor for our application."
"Geo-data is also something very critical that we hope to see in the future."
"Since the Datadog platform has so many separate features, solving so many use cases, there are often inconsistencies in feature availability and interoperability between products."
