AIOps Features
Comparison of AIOps Features features of Product A and Product B
A one-stop solution for everything you need. Multiple functionalities are tailored to meet specific business needs. Logs are essential for any business, and Datadog manages logs effectively. Rum sessions are something new to me and have given us a new perspective on how to reverse engineer issues that we see for our customers.
Critical to use if you have any NetApp clusters in your environment. Use it to identify problems you might not otherwise know about. Also can be useful to generate upgrade reports in advance so you know about any special cases.
Alert windows cause lag in notifications (e.g. if the alert window is X errors in 1 hour, we won't get alerted until the end of the 1 hour range)
I would appreciate more supportive examples for how to filter and view metrics in the explorer
I would like a more clear interface for metrics that are missing in a time frame, rather than only showing tags/etc. for metrics that were collected within the currently viewed time frame
Datadog's user interface is quite friendly and easy to navigate. With menus clearly categorized, and ability to bookmark important dashboards, one can easily find what they're looking for. For dashboards, ability to move and resize visualizations and group them, is really helpful to organize dashboards. Automatic suggestions from Datadog for important visualizations based on the metrics and logs would provide another level of ease of use.
Despite some interface issues, it mostly accomplishes what we need it to accomplish - give us a heads up on problems in our environment and prepare us for upgrades/patches.
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.
I selected Datadog because of its features and the wide range of integration support. As I already told it supports more that 600+ integrations which helps and organization to keep everything in a single place and also its AI feature which is reducing the time for root cause analysis. Its custom dashboards features which helps us to visualize the data in a more attractive way.
You can see the list of tools above; NetApp Active IQ is a compliment to the tools. Not one monitor will take care of all your needs. I am ok with 3 dashboards for my environment. SolarWinds rotates in NOC mode, NetApp Active IQ is up on its own with all the NetApp's registered, and the Palo Alto Dashboard which monitors for vulnerabilities and risks. The tools work hand in hand in the environment, working both North/South and East/West, letting us know about anomalies, risks, and pending tasks to schedule. I love ALL my tools working together; lets me sleep really well at night!
For a small but focused operation like ours, NetApp Active IQ acts like an additional full-time team member in our environment. This has been a game-changer, as my team doesn't have the time to constantly monitor every piece of our infrastructure. By using NetApp Active IQ, we are able to deploy reliable, redundant solutions and it keeps us proactively informed each and every day.
NetApp Active IQ's predictive analytics have been instrumental in identifying potential problems and misconfigurations before they can cause an outage. In a 911 environment where service availability is non-negotiable, this is an immeasurable ROI.
NetApp Active IQ automates many of the routine monitoring and health checks that would otherwise consume a significant amount of my team's time. This has allowed us to shift our focus from reactive troubleshooting to strategic planning and project execution, aligning with our long-term vision.
The insights provided by NetApp Active IQ, such as capacity utilization and performance limits, have helped us make smarter decisions about technology refreshes and resource allocation, ensuring we get the best "bang for our buck" from our infrastructure.
Ultimately, the partnership with NetApp and the use of NetApp Active IQ has provided the stability and insight we demand, enabling my team to focus on our core mission of providing critical emergency services to our community.
