Faddom (BYOL)

What do you like best about the product?

It has been very helpful for us when troubleshooting certain issues, and it also supported us in redesigning our infrastructure.

What do you dislike about the product?

If Faddom could add a few more networking-related features—such as log storage, analysis, and network diagram integration with Meraki and Juniper cloud-hosted environments—then it would feel like a complete product.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides useful information about application connections, which really helps when planning maintenance tasks.

What do you like best about the product?

network tracing and the visualisation of network topologies

What do you dislike about the product?

multiple hostnames are displayed at time for a same device

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

we are able to identify the network dependencies, network mapping, helps in migration for opening port dependencies and many more

What do you like best about the product?

detect the network traffic between multiple server which helps in Migration.

What do you dislike about the product?

Multiple hostname for single server at times

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

analyse app dependencies , network topology

What do you like best about the product?

Discovery of all network traffic and analysing of routes

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes it gives multiple entries for single server which confuses

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps to analyse network traffic for smooth migration and simulation

What do you like best about the product?

It provides dependency analysis without needing to install any agents individually on servers across the environment.

What do you dislike about the product?

It has dns issues which I have seen shows multiple vm with same name if at all vm is migrated to other platform or ip changed

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

To understand the server communication so that we can smoothly analyse network structure

What do you like best about the product?

I love how the maps update quickly when changes happens. They excel at automated application, and dependency mapping.

What do you dislike about the product?

Good but sometimes I wish there were more deeper analytics.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It also improved communication between networking and application teams.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like best about Faddom is its ability to provide real-time, automatic visualization of my entire IT environment without installing agents. It gives me a clear, interactive map of applications, servers, and dependencies, which makes troubleshooting and planning so much faster and more accurate. The interface is intuitive, and it saves a lot of time compared to manual documentation.

What do you dislike about the product?

One thing I dislike about Faddom is that it can sometimes feel limited when dealing with very large or highly complex environments—especially if you need deep customization or integrations with certain niche tools. While it's agentless and easy to deploy, there are occasional gaps in visibility for non-standard systems or cloud-native resources, which may require manual adjustments or workarounds.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Faddom provides accurate visual maps and reports that support audits, risk assessments, and regulatory compliance.

What do you like best about the product?

Once I got it installed, I like the way it discovered my environment and gave me the capability to map application dependencies. The ROI certainly looks attractive. I would like to have had more time to use it, but the installation took longer than I'd allocated for the entire POC. Once I got a Faddom tech on the phone, we were able to iron out the last few challenges, but that took almost two weeks and put me past my deadline.

What do you dislike about the product?

The documentation was complicated and often conflicting. One document led me to believe I could use a Faddom-provided AWS CloudFormation template to roll it into a test AWS VPC I set up. Faddom Support later confirmed there is no such template and I had to go back and create the VPC flow logs manually. One set of documentation indicated I should use AWS Traffic Mirror to capture the netflow data needed for dependency mapping. Faddom Support and other documentation later confirmed Traffic Mirror is not supported by Faddom and that I should use VPC Flow Logs. I also ran into some permissions issues with accessing the VPC Flow Logs. I can't say if the delay was because of AWS or because of Faddom, but the changes I made to the permissions didn't seem to propagate to Faddom in a reasonable time period.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

POC was a failure for me so sadly, no problems solved. I am open to revisiting it in the future should my clients have appropriate needs.

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.

What do you like best about the product?

Quickly provided diagrams on our network as described. Information that my team didn't produce in two years.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing to dislike. Worked right away and accurate.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Provides insight that we didn't have previously.
