Faddom Application Dependency Mapping - A Honest Review
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 Instead of relying on outdated documentation or tribal knowledge, teams can now access a real-time source of truth to make better, faster decisions.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.

What do you like best about the product?
Our customer succFrom the moment I saw the product I knew it would be a game changing service for our company. It is unlike any network discovery solution that I have personally tried in my 30+ year career in IT. Maps are definitely a game changer in terms of efficiency. The interface is easy to manage and understand. Since the implementation, I have been able to use it multiple times a week to get details about connectivity to troubleshoot problems. Our customer success support rep (Tal) has been phenomenal in helping us implement the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is another tool that we have in our toolbox to learn and use. It will just take time and effort to be effective.
