For those who concerned in security aspests, it can be strange to keep you monitoring data and history somewhere in cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using DataDog to monitor on-premise systems

Good nut complex solution for monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with a lot of products and services, AWS monitoring is good enough
What do you dislike about the product?
Monitoring of Azure resources is weak, all solutions requires agent deployment, so for SaaS/PaaS services you need to deploy additional VM just for agent
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly used for AWS resources monitoring
Recommendations to others considering the product:
DataDog will work for you if you are using on-primise or AWS based resources. For Azure you should consider another solution
Quick growing cloud monitoring solution
What do you like best about the product?
Good possibilities for AWS resources monitoring, integration with most of software used in our company
What do you dislike about the product?
Azure monitoring still needs some work, you can monitor VMs but Cloud services fmonitoring features are still not enough
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly used for AWS based VMs and Services monitoring
Easy and flexible
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy and quick to set up. And very flexible on how to interpret, and massage, the incoming metrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up the various views can be a little less than intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of relevant metrics from multiples applications. Can aggregate or receive already aggregated data.
Very straightforward
What do you like best about the product?
At other places I've worked, we had to rely on different types of infrastructure -- Datadog does all that. Its very time saving. Datadog has alerting events and metrics all in one place; This was a huge plus, other solutions were trying to treat monitoring as a multi-faceted problem. Datadog treated it as one problem. Also, We no longer use Nagios for alerting, we use Datadog’s alarms, and then we push the data into PagerDuty.
What do you dislike about the product?
The performance, especially when were drilling into metrics we've been running for a year and a half. When you're launching old data it can get slow. Also, more granular control over dashboard sharing. Timeboard sharing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use standard and custom metrics for every new system we roll out for 360 degree visibility into our systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'm an advocate of Datadog -- go for it.
Good cloud based monitoring solution
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is cloud based solution, so you do not need to deploy additional resources in your datacenter for it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I still have some concerns about how secure is keeping your data outside of organization
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Systems monitoring
Excellent server and application monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog’s integrated solution for monitoring applications, services, and servers makes it easy to spot and troubleshoot problems early.
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup and configuration of Dashboards and Monitors could be easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Datadog for application and server monitoring. It has helped reduce downtime, spot problems early, and aid in troubleshooting solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog is an excellent monitoring tool. However, be prepared to spend some things me setting up and configuring alerts and dashboards.
Amazing tool for monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use and create dashboards, lost of integrations with other applications in your IT stack. provides real time visibility and alerting for your services.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much that I don't like about the product. But it is a little pricey. Also it is not very mobile friendly and some learning curve is required when you get started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of our EC2 instances in AWS
Opinionated perspective on sysops workflow
What do you like best about the product?
Well integrated with other relevant cloud services, especially with Amazon Web Services. Graphs are sophisticated in a good way. Initially was talking to the salesperson who had a technical background and that helped moving the needle. Has a strong brand so we weren't worried about data becoming available to the untrusted entity.
What do you dislike about the product?
They have functionality that goes far behind graphs and analytics and probably this is where it failed for our team. Sysops couldn't easily figure it out, so there was some cultural push back. The user interface is somewhat special, probably too techie, raising adoption bar quite high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Obtained much more visibility into how applications are running and what is going on with infrastructure. Can easily answer questions like "how much memory is being utilized" or "how much storage is provisioned" and tie that to particular events coming from connected systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good service. As usual, will need to spend some time building right dashboards and right representations of what really makes sense in your case.
Good Monitoring and timeseries aggerator and viewer tool
What do you like best about the product?
Monitoring based on thresholds, moving averages, anomalies detection. Also basic server integration works "from the box". Also product moves forward all the time with new integrations, and features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Disk space integration isn't working completely as expected. also per process monitor needs more love. Didn't try APM yet since my current stack isn't supported
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No need to setup multiple monitoring => graphing + monitoring => alerting pipelines and integrations with various tools, everything works from the box
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't hesitate to add multiple integrations, search the integration screens and add "everything" you have. even if you don't have specific value now in a specific integration you might have a specific corralation of history needed in the future. Also use the API to add your specific metrics and KPI
