Datadog

Overview

Zabbix offers great performance for data gathering and can be scaled to very large environments. Distributed monitoring options are available with the use of Zabbix proxies.

Pros

“I love being able to have nice visualizations as well as extensibility, plus having "proxy" servers at each location allows for me to ensure that even if a site goes down I still have metrics to reference once it gets sent to the server.”

Dawson G.

Network and Systems Administrator

“I used Zabbix for around four years to monitor both our internal and client infrastructure across many cloud providers.”

James B.

Head Of Development

“Need more manual work to do after changing small information as there is no auto-populating of changes like config file change, or hostname change.”

Harshad n.

Technical Support Expert

Pros

“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.”

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

“Log searching andd data analysis are the strongpoints of Datadog - you can take an insane amount of data, and distill it quickly.”

Drew L.

SR SYS Admin

Cons

“Lack of some features like filtering information that has entire data overview and often official documentation is not enough.”

Vedran M.

Network engineer

Cons

“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 sheer volume of features can also feel overwhelming at first, making it hard to know where to start without proper onboarding or documentation.”

Rakhi V.

QA Lead

“The consequences can include loss of information (due to the developer interpreting the stakeholder's need / wish differently) or confusion (the developer having a tech focused mindset and language while the stakeholders do not)”
