Great tool for starters and professionals
What do you like best about the product?
In my opinion DataDog offers a broad suite of products for observability which can easily be integrated with different providers. For AWS you can simply install a CloudFormation Template which then allows DataDog to access logs from your account. The user interface is pretty easy to use and also offers non-technical people an overview to the most important metrics. Integrating notification services such as Slack is also doable with a few clicks and allows you to send alerts to your teams' slack channel to have them notified instantly so they do not need to have a glance on DataDog every day.
What do you dislike about the product?
DataDogs pricing is sometimes not really clear for us and for some services we just had to wait for a month to pass so we can see how much another service really costs. While you can see what everything costs on their pricing page, this sometimes leaves questions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Without DataDog we really hadn't had any central solution for monitoring all our infrastructure and make it easy for other colleagues to access this data.

The costing plans of Datadog are bit expensive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are monitoring our springboot applications on datadog, also we have assigned alerts whenever our service go down or any issue occurs, We have multiple dashboards for monitoring our application behaviour and live statistics.
And Datadog performs really well, user adaptive design and dashboards.

Datadog's easy to use UI and simple setup streamlined our monitoring stack.
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is incredibly easy to work with. Creating widgets and dashboards is straightforward, with a wide range of tools at your disposal, plenty of templates and excellent documentation. We were able to prototype and iterate on our dashboards incredibly quickly and even complex visualisations were simple to setup.
We chose Datadog to quickly spin up a centralised monitoring stack capable of sharing our metrics with our external partners. Datadog made it very easy to implement this, with a straightforward agent install and pre-built integrations with many of our existing tools (NGINX, Kubernetes, etc). Once we had metrics consumed from our agents, we were then able to share our metrics with our external partners very easy, managing this process with ease. Datadog is now a central part of both our internal and external monitoring, as such it is used on an hourly basis by everyone from heads of department to engineers to support staff - each with a specific dashboard suited to their needs. Datadog's customisability and adaptability is simply great.
One of the things I have been most impressed with has been Datadog's support team. Through the UI, it is very easy to speak to customer support and the process is streamlined and effective. I have made use of this frequently both when seeking guidance on additional features and searching for support with an unplanned outage.

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model can be hard to understand, particularly when dealing with custom metrics which can be hard to account for with their varied labels/tags. It would be great to get some kind of quote calculator so we can figure out how much a change is going to cost us before we implement it. Similarly, the rolling windows within which things are calculated can make assessing cost, on anything less than a month-to-month basis, difficult.
The access control for shared, external dashbaords could be improved. Currently, the Magic Link process does not give user-based access control.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, our metrics were split across a range of different services and sharing these externally with customers was complex. Datadog allowed us to centralise everything into a single system, massively reducing complexity and enabling us to give our customers oversight of the product they are paying for. Additionally, this has streamlined our internal monitoring process as well.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have to monitor variety of websites with around 100- odd pages and few SPAs. This contains various user journeys and logs which gets generated
Datadog acts like one stop shop for me to add all the synthetic monitors, RUM, API montiroings and logs, they all tie me up which helps me create a story. This story helps me for my analytics and aswell for my incident analysis

It's kinda okay in some ways but there're some irritating things around it
What do you like best about the product?
Statistics and sessions, my main doing, are to my liking, it describes well enough.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not nice to replace all every typing field as asteriks, i just want the passwords to be hidden, not the other ones. Hiding message details and email of users somehow blocks the view to address the problem directly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User sessons and those details helped me much on spotting errors of the site and which caught users in confusions.
