Great logs analysis tool
What do you like best about the product?
Really nice the way Datadog let the users search and do queries of a particular container/app, and also allows you to track related logs among other containers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Is not that easy to setup the different keywords or tags, by this I mean to allow the user to use some particular tags from logs to search/filter. You need to index those tags.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Datadog as a centralized log monitoring tool. We have several containers and apps running, and all the logs are processed and indexed by Datadog.
Analytical and united view for logs

It provides united view of logs from multiple servers that is best
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't maintain the history of logs.

We are having load balancer which have two log files l, so to get a united view of logs we use this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Provides a perfect matrices and analytical view of logs.
Great for logs analysis and bugs detection
What do you like best about the product?
You can track and view logs in real time, really helpful. I like the feature where you can create a custom view of a set of logs (with custom filters, column parsing and more).
What do you dislike about the product?
It gets complicated to use or know all the available features that Datadog has. Interface is tricky to use sometimes. Some filters are hard to use if you haven't mapped all the fields.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Logs tracking in real time, with the possibility to filter in various ways when needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! It is going to the right direction. But still some interfaces and ux to fix and make more understandable. However, it performs well and it is really useful. Real time logging works well.
Monitor each instances on the cloud
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is a tool that's very easy to use, with a very complete interface and enough options and features make possible all our requirements. It includes dashboards where you can check how is the development of the process in real time. Customer service is another great thing from Datadog, as it's always helpful with any of our questions. Whenever you encounter any specific issue, they will always be responsive to you.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I'm working on creating new dashboards, it's always hard to do it and it tends to run really slow and take several minutes before actually start working. I thought it was something that had to do with the computer, but then I discover it happened in every computer where Datadog was setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the IT department of my business, Datadog is used to set and trigger alarms when our systems perform a specific task. We integrate it with ServiceNow and results has been great, as it allows us to monitor each one of our instances on the cloud from anywhere we are, and we can still store and index the Datadog alerts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog is a great solution for system management. I would recommend it for companies with many computers and specific requirements, that knows exactly what they want to monitor. It's also suited for companies with complex systems, as it will help them to monitor its performance in real time and take the best decisions possible.
Great all around monitoring tools and good customer support
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog provides a multitude of integration to monitor anything you probably need with a simple config. They also offer infrastructure and application monitoring all in one tool for great dash-boarding capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The APM tool is still young and can have some issues. Their development has been great to work with and listens to our concerns when they arise. They are very transparent in what they do and work on via github.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We spend our time actually building meaningful monitoring vs managing a monitoring system. The Watchdog and Anomaly detection have been great additions as well that can be super handy in finding issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at using something like terraform to version control your monitors and dashboards. In a large organization it can get out of hand quickly without version control. Also always do a soft warning before an alert.
Excellent monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
The monitoring ability allows us to debug and troubleshoot our data and also be used to present analysis to upper management when needed
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a high learning curve to get the initial onboarding configuration process to be working, which typically requires a developer or someone with extensive programming experience to set up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We monitor the end to end support for our applications and use this data to debug, troubleshoot and analyze the information to be used for presentations
Monitor your public cloud with APIs
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog allows us to handle all in one single platform, as its system is based on handling centralized data. The most important operative processes tend to be mechanical and, therefore, easy to use even for people with low experience with this tool. Whenever you have a question about the functionality of the software, it has a very extensive API documentation all of your questions will be answered.
What do you dislike about the product?
Datadog has a steep learning curve, but this can be solved with regular practice and training. Although it offers several integration options, the integration with AWS present some issues, as some configurations has to be done manually. Other than that, we have no more troubles in this matter, but I still think there's a lot of room for improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog was deployed in IT department, and we use it to monitor our public cloud, as it allows us to check in real-time our cloud-based with APIs. Any sub-team across the IT department uses Datadog to gain insights into the platform and read any sort of information with its respective metrics, such as container, ELB, memory usage, network stats, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog is great for setting up monitors and alerts, so you can get notifications on any underlying issue ahead of time before a major failure occurs. If you require a tool for monitoring instances in the cloud, this will be great choice for you. The graphs, dashboards and alerts will give DevOps members complete control over the performance of the system.
