External reviews

Superior to built in cloud tooling, provides constant innovation
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using a lot of the application security product lately-- getting security signals from our deployed agents APM is a gamechanger.
What do you dislike about the product?
The datadog kubernetes operator often feels like an afterthought-- I wish the Kubernetes agent deployment story was more consistent and maintained.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog provides both appdev and appsec insights, and the Watchdog features lets us know when our own monitors are missing key metrics.

Datadog is a great tool for multi-environment log aggregation
What do you like best about the product?
Grat User Interface (UI), easy to set up and configure, and plenty of integrations with cloud and on-prem solutions. Granular control over the ingested data. Flexible licensing scheme.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data normalization and unstructured log ingestion require time and effort. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is not available out of the box and requires a ticket to the Support team. Despite RBAC, access granularity is hard to achieve, especially in an organization with small Site Reliability Engineering teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog is excellent at dashboarding, alerts and notifications. Alerts can be sent to messaging tools like Slack, MS Teams, SMS as well as email. It is easy to set up and delegate to other team members. Compared to the competition, I think Datadog has the lowest Return Of Investment (ROI) score.
very good network and service monitoring service
What do you like best about the product?
possibility to aggregate views in a single dashboard
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigating the platform is not very straightforward
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring analytics in real time and identifying bottlenecks
DataDog - SIEM tool for your organisation
What do you like best about the product?
They provide us with the application to integrate any data source. Also, many prebuilt dashboards and out-of-the-box use cases are given to use. Create custom use cases are so easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI can be designed better for a better user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collect all logs at one place and give analsis.
Pretty good out of the box solution, but it comes with a price.
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of out of the box integrations, overall good usability. Cover a big range of necessary observability for your applications and all integrated in one platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is pretty high (you pay more to monitor a small k8s ec2 node than the ec2 itself), and I found it hard to pick what you want to measure using Kubernetes integration granularly. Sometimes it is hard to understand how your billing is calculated, and it also charges you multiple times for "same stuff" since it cannot automatically detect integrations. (Ex.: you are charged for AWS node monitoring + k8s node monitoring of the same ec2 instance!). Didn`t like the commercial support either; they only care until they sell it to you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Observability and traceability of cloud microservices. With its comprehensive set of tools and integrations, it enables end-to-end monitoring of your stack.
It keep track of all cloud instances
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is user-friendly software with a comprehensive UI and enough settings and functionality to meet all of our needs. The most significant operating processes are mechanical and hence simple to use even for those with little familiarity with this equipment.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I'm working on new dashboards, it's always difficult to do so since the program is run quite slowly and takes several minutes to begin operating. I believed it was something to do with the machine, but it happened on every computer where Datadog was installed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog is used in my company's IT department to establish and trigger alarms when our systems accomplish a certain activity. We integrated it with ServiceNow, and the results have been fantastic, since it allows us to monitor each of our cloud instances from anywhere, while also storing and indexing Datadog warnings.
A complete tool for monitoring servers
What do you like best about the product?
Log management is the best feature for troubleshooting as the logs are detailed and easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
It only supports applications that are mainly based on Java, Python, .Net and Php. In the future, they should add support for more languages for broader industry usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to use tags to identify traffic for source and destination is a huge beneficial factor for data monitoring and the tool documentation is great.
One of the best monitoring service I encountered.
What do you like best about the product?
We monitor logs across multiple microservices in our infrastructure. I cannot emphasise how critical it is to debug the unhandled exceptions on production. Datadog provides an easy to understand UI unlike other(s) which I have used previously.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't encountered anything as it's been just over a year since I started using Datadog.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real-time log streaming helps us monitor the production and lower environment logs for all our microservices. We have integrated datadog with slack as well, so if there is any spike in unusual traffic we trigger the notification to our channel.
Metric services are best
What do you like best about the product?
It reduces time to problem resolution, secure applications and track key business metrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit tricky to find the data..takes bit of time..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You can create custom dashboards and you can tag your data too.
Great tool for application & infrastructure monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
DataDog works as a excellent central resource to manage and monitor all our applications and infrastructure. The best thing about DataDog is that it's quite easy to use and user-friendly along with being a total value for money. Also, it has excellent support and learning resources to be utilized by everyone.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the integrations and connections docs for setting up are outdated and not very to understand for anyone who is new. The process of setting it up will require you to get in touch with the support team several times. However, they are quite quick and happy to assist as and when needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best benefit we've got is the real-time alert on issues of any kind which helps us manage the downtime and the errors. To ensure everything is working as intended, you have complete visibility of the apps. Also, it has great visualizations to be used within the platform.
