It's integrations with various tools and platforms, made my life easy to see all the metrics in one place
What do you dislike about the product?
Few times it gets messy will all the error logs we have. sometimes agents get stuck
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
APM and infra monitoring
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool when compared to other monitoring tools
datadog marketplace 100% leaders
What do you like best about the product?
System stats, software stats, API endpoints, events, dashboards, alerts, mobile apps, all in one. Datadog has a lot of pre-built solutions that you can implement in your infrastructure and if you will not find suitable solution you can build your own, great for AWS monitoring. Good customer support and documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of Azure monitoring tools, Datadog is very complex in building your own solutions. A bit too expensive for it`s functionality,Not very good for Azure if you are going to use marketplace solutions. Most of these are made for AWS and you will have to make something similar by yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contact helpdesk prior to build your own solutions, maybe you just didn`t find the same on marketplace,Monitoring of systems and services for production SaaS applications. It helps us discover issues both before and after they happen, and we use the dashboards both for system status and for business level dashboarding.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Mostly AWS monitoring, it can done something in Azure, but choise of solutions is very limited
Easy way to monitor your entire infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it integrates with other tools. Any infrastructure we make in AWS will show up in Datadog with metrics to alert on. The dashboards are also very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the agent sometimes will take longer than expected to send metrics to Datadog.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to monitor all of our infrastructure with alerts and Datadog fit our needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it!
Great easy to use service
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up custom metric collection and dashboards. You get a lot of metrics collected automatically when you integrate with cloud providers like GCP. You get a lot of insight out of the data you collect.
What do you dislike about the product?
High price. Charged per. We're migrating off of it at work because we can't prevent it from charging us for every new ephemeral host we start with Dataflow on GCP etc. Usage based billing would make more sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking whether data is flowing in pipeline. We use data to drive analytics and recommendations engine, so this makes sure our uptime is as high as possible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be mindful of cost. May not be compatible with serverless styles.
Modern Effective and scalable onitoring
What do you like best about the product?
DataDog keeps up with features and platforms that modern team deploy and maintain. For example K8S and Containers
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can ben less than intuitive and could use some more UI tips IMO
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance and availability monitoring
Excellent tool for monitoring everything in your infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is a monitoring service that gives you a great overview of the state of your infrastructure at any given time. I like how it works almost out of the box with many popular frameworks such as nginx, celery and django. The documentation and tutorials provided on the official website are quite good, and since Datadog widely adopted, it's easy to get one's questions answered.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes hard to characterize log messages to the desired severity. There's lots of widely used applications which log by default to stderr, and this causes Datadog to classify everything they log as an error, when it is not the case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have set monitors so that we're alerted whenever our services are behaving in a way that could signify a problem (ie, database having high latency, high error rates in website etc)
We also have set up dashboards to have an overview of all our services and we use the Live Tail feature of the logs to see and share logs without needing to log-in to remote machines.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have even slightly complex infrastructure (ie, more than three types of microservices running) then it's likely you can benefit from using Datadog to monitor that everything is running smoothly.

The UI can be slow to load at times and is not 100% intuitive when setting up.
