Functional monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
A lot of features that are able to work out of a box, you just need to install agents and you are in. You can find much more special APIs on marketplace to extend basic functionality. Good analytics platform allows to find bottlenecks in your infrastructure and fix at proactive basis instead of reaction on incident. Does not requires additional resources on your infrastructure as Datadog is provided as a service. The only really working Docker container monitoring solution we were able to find

Installation and configuration can be painful for non-experienced users. Not very clear reporting capabilities. Most solution requires additional customization to be suitable for your needs. Not very straightforward pricing policy often makes users confusing about budget planning for Datadog

Flexible monitoring for your solutions
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog allows monitoring of everything you need without deploying additional hardware or utilizing storage in your datacenter. Most of your possible needs are covered by API marketplace, where you can find lots of solutions for different use cases. You have access to both current state of resources and history of this state, so you can analyze your issues in retrospective manner to find out what was going on that time. Monitoring of both availability and performance of your services by utilizing performance counters, log analytics and alerting on specific events. Great email and communications tools integration for notification purposes, allows to monitor your systems proactively and find possible issues before actual impact for your resources.

Monitoring is one of most important parts in DevOps process
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is cloud based solution, perfectly working with monitoring of your cloud deployments, wide range of different solutions on marketplace, good set of APIs, log analytics. You can not only see current state of your resources, but have a historical data for the same, so you can find the bottlenecks in your systems and get rid of these. If you will not find what you need on marketplace you can always develop your own solution and use it. Somebody told that it is very hard for new users, but it is not true, you just need to have some patience, when exploring the documentation. And you can always contact helpdesk, team if very responsible and will be able to help you finding appropriate solution for your needs

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.

Contact helpdesk prior to build your own solutions, maybe you just didn`t find the same on marketplace

Great reliable tool for SaaS monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Reliable, easy to integrate, supports all important types of monitors and events, fast UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
When used extensively the tool contains quite a complex set of data and to understand the data properly a better user-friendlier GUI is required. My main concern is with graph presentations, time and again some alert is raised and there are multiple graphs that are presented but it is hard to understand what is the difference and sometime (due to the default selection of scale) the graph is all green despite the alert.
