Akamai Cloud Longview vs Datadog Infrastructure Monitoring

Akamai Cloud Longview graphs system data and tracks CPU, memory, and network bandwidth at both aggregate and per-process levels. Its real-time graphs can help surface performance problems, and Cloud Manager displays Overview, Processes, Network, and Disks metrics. Optional tabs cover Apache, NGINX, and MySQL when the software and Longview Agent are configured. Getting started requires creating a client and installing its open-source agent on a Linux server; the agent can also be installed on Linux systems hosted outside Akamai Cloud. CentOS, Debian, and Ubuntu are officially supported, and Akamai says most Linux systems are compatible. Longview is available on Linodes in core compute regions, not distributed compute regions. The Free plan costs nothing for up to 10 clients, with five-minute data resolution and 12 hours of history. Free and Pro clients cannot be used simultaneously. Longview does not collect swap disk data, and graphs show only data captured after agent installation.
