GetApp offers objective, independent research and verified user reviews. We may earn a referral fee when you visit a vendor through our links.
Our commitment
Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Verified user reviews
GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.
Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

“By bringing metrics, application performance monitoring (APM), and log management into one interface, it gives developers and operations teams a practical way to monitor fast-moving environments like cloud services and containerized systems.”
KH
Kira H.
Software consultant
“Only a few minutes are required to setup the monitoring agents and we have pre-built integrations for cloud infrastructure that help our IT team to save a lot of manual configuration time.”
EA
Elizabeth A.
Systems Adninistrator
“It replaced stitching together separate metrics, logs, and tracing tools with one correlated platform, which shortened incident resolution and gave the team much better visibility into production.”
Kaynan S.
Software Engineer
Pros
“keeping downtime minimal and providing reliable infrastructure management and uptime helps VMWare and Vsphere sit comfortably at the head of the table, especially when discussing on-premise (non cloud) virtualisation options.”
CQ
Connor Q.
Team Lead
“its ability to manage a large number of virtual machines (VMs) from a single interface, simplifying operations, security and central control management.”
PS
Pyae S.
HPE support Engineer
“You can easily add new hard drive storage to Servers or edit the RAM. With templates you can add new Server rlly fast and implement them in your environment.”
RB
René B.
Administrator
Cons
“The biggest downside of Datadog is the cost, especially for larger organizations that generate a high volume of logs and monitoring data. While the platform provides many valuable features, pricing can become difficult to manage as usage grows.”
EV
Edwin V.
Dev Manager
“Pricing is the big drawback: costs can climb quickly and unpredictably as you add hosts, custom metrics, and log ingestion, so you have to actively manage what you send.”
Kaynan S.
Software Engineer
“The pricing can also become expensive as usage, data volume, and the number of monitored services increase.”
Beulah G.
Senior business analyst
Cons
“The biggest issue with Vsphere, by far, is the remodelling of their pricing and licensing structure. Since Broadcom purchased the vendor, they have narrowed their desired client-base to a fraction of their existing market, meaning that many small and medium enterprises are left in a very difficult situation, having to choose between switching to less mature technologies, or choosing to maintain their current stack at significantly hiked price margins.”
CQ
Connor Q.
Team Lead
“I don't have much about vSphere. But now We can't download the vmware and vcenter path file in Broadcom portal.”
SM
Soe M.
System Engineer Infrastructure
“For example if there are locking issues within the cluster against a fibre-channel storage array, you may need to reboot the entire cluster resulting in an outage of 100% of all infrastructure on the platform.”
