One of the best tools I've found out in discovering information across the system.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's intuitive ways of finding information. It has a decent number of features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, it's GIGO. To a beginner, it's not that easy to onboard and as such makes onbaording unattractive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faddom is assisting with documentation of my IT enterprise. It gives me the exact number of resources which an application shares, and finally assist heavily in cost and instrument optimization.

Insights you can depend on

  • July 04, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Faddom allows your to build a map/view of the services running in your infrastructure with the dependencies that underpin these services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike, the platform does what is says
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faddom has build an entire dependency map of all the services running in the data-centres, allowing insights to migrations from old to new and transformation, such as cloud. without the tool it would have taken months to do this. the solution is live, so if a change happens you can see it real-time. Once a migration has been completed Faddom will give insights to the completion, and the new service being live

Seamless infrastructure management

  • June 30, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has been providing realtime application mapping. Faddom offers immense value as it enables us to maintain detailed and auditable record or our IT environment, which supports internal governance and external audits.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just the lack of comprehensive visibility across our hybrid cloud and on premises environment, but faddom solved this by giving us continuously updated map of every dependency between servers, services and applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faddom is exceptional during system migration and and cloud adoption.

fast to deploy and nice to use

  • June 25, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Faddom is a fantastic tool for IT visibility and network mapping. It’s easy to deploy, agentless, and delivers instant insights into application dependencies. The support team is responsive, and the platform is both powerful and cost-effective. Highly recommended for IT teams looking to simplify infrastructure management.
It took no longer than 5 minutes to set up and after another 5 minutes we already had the first data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dependency map is a bit chaotic, but I already talked to the customer service and maybe there will be an update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding which software depends on whom and how the servers talk to each other

Faddom first impression

  • June 20, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The product provided visibility to on-prem and cloud instances and the interdependencies quickly. I have not seen another product that does everything this one does and while it was not trivial to get setup, it was not that difficult, and it was worth the effort. I will also say, I have been happy with support. I only started using this about 24 hours ago, but I am very surprised at what this is delivering for us. I am very happy with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not seeing MFA options in the tool (may be my oversight), but if they are there it means they were not easy to find/use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The tool is doing several things, but helping discover interdependencies in a legacy environment is at the top of the list.

Easy to install, however some area a tad tricky and not clear

  • June 17, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to implement, the user management once figured out is also nice and easy
What do you dislike about the product?
Found it hard to find out about application mapping, and the Network SMNP V3 discovery isnt picking anything up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We want to try faddom out for our application mapping and what are thr required services based on application as we have inherited a system.

Faddom Application Dependency Mapping - A Honest Review

  • June 13, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Faddom is a lightweight, agentless platform that helps organizations gain real-time visibility into their IT environments by automatically discovering and mapping application dependencies across both on-premises and cloud infrastructure. One of the most helpful aspects of Faddom is how easy it is to deploy—there’s no need to install agents or make changes to the environment. Within an hour, you can start seeing detailed application communication paths, infrastructure dependencies, and network flows.

What sets Faddom apart is its ability to provide continuously updated, visual maps that make it much easier to understand how applications are interconnected. This is especially useful for planning cloud migrations, troubleshooting outages, or validating changes during IT transformations. It’s also extremely helpful for compliance, security reviews, and business continuity planning, where having an up-to-date understanding of system interdependencies is critical.

The main upsides of using Faddom are its simplicity, speed to value, and the clarity it brings to complex environments. Instead of relying on outdated documentation or tribal knowledge, teams can now access a real-time source of truth to make better, faster decisions. It’s a solid tool for any IT organization trying to reduce risk and improve operational awareness.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Faddom brings a lot of value in terms of visibility and ease of deployment, there are a few limitations to be aware of. First, because it’s agentless and relies heavily on network traffic and protocols like SNMP and flow data, it may not capture every application dependency with full granularity—especially in environments with encrypted traffic, limited network visibility, or tightly segmented zones.

Another consideration is that Faddom is a read-only tool. It’s great for mapping and observing, but it doesn’t offer native remediation or integration with automation workflows like some more robust IT operations platforms. That means while it’s helpful for discovery, it often requires teams to pivot into other systems to take action.

Scalability can also become a factor in very large or highly distributed environments. While it works well in mid-sized environments or targeted segments of infrastructure, some users have reported challenges when trying to maintain clean, navigable maps across thousands of services or across hybrid networks with inconsistent architecture.

For what it delivers, Faddom can be seen as a niche tool—excellent for mapping and visibility, but not a full replacement for broader CMDB or AIOps platforms. That makes it most valuable when used in combination with other tools, which may increase total cost of ownership.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faddom helps us tackle one of the most common—and often overlooked—challenges in IT: not having a clear, up-to-date understanding of how our systems are connected. Over time, environments grow more complex, and documentation falls out of date. When something breaks, or when we’re planning a change or a migration, it becomes incredibly hard to know what systems will be impacted. Faddom solves that by giving us a real-time, visual map of application dependencies—without requiring agents or long deployment timelines.

This kind of visibility helps us reduce downtime, avoid surprises during changes or deployments, and accelerate troubleshooting when something goes wrong. It also supports better decision-making when we’re modernizing systems, moving workloads to the cloud, or conducting security and compliance reviews. Instead of relying on assumptions or outdated spreadsheets, we can see what’s actually happening in our environment.

Faddom also helps bridge gaps between teams. Infrastructure, networking, security, and application teams can all use the same visual map to understand how services interact. That alignment makes projects run more smoothly and helps reduce the finger-pointing that can slow down investigations or change reviews.

At the end of the day, Faddom helps us manage risk, improve uptime, and work more efficiently by giving us something every IT team needs but rarely has—a clear picture of what’s connected to what.
