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.

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.
Complicated software
What do you like best about the product?
At all times this software warns about the performance of each program that is installed on the computer or how is the overall performance of the computer I am working to know if there is something that causes it to slow down or is on the verge of being damaged, with these observations that makes this software everything is well monitored and is in perfect condition always allowing work without complications and with 100% performance for greater agility and without delays
What do you dislike about the product?
Its complicated use since I acquired it made me generate more knowledge of the basic knowledge I had for the configuration of these software and I had a long learning but that helped me to learn much more and expand my knowledge to improve each day the platform of a more functioning full
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The capacity that has for its development and good monitoring to be supervising all the app of the system and the use that it is having is verifying if it is apt to work in the registered team or it is better to make an update in the system before working and start use the app and that in the middle of the work causes me failures that would waste my time and my work, that's why datadog from the beginning informs me the status of each app and its performance
Datadog is great for monitoring applications and ensure it’s performance
What do you like best about the product?
It is perfect for monitoring your applications performance, showing up all the relevant information in real time. With Datadog you can set alarms to notify any irregularity within the system. The API is very simple, so it allows integration with several applications or services. Besides, it allows for creation of a centralized source of data. About their costumer support, it’s very helpful and responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it has many benefits when monitoring your system, it also has some limitations when it comes to report and analyze. It does not have the right tools for doing advanced graphing operations. Also, Datadog needs to be more robust in order to improve its comercial image and become more reliable to the audience. When it comes to billing, it isn’t completely straightforward, being confusing at times, while you end up without understanding the monthly costs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog is an excellent monitoring solution. We use it to monitor our applications and ensure it’s performing well. It is adopted across the entire company, but it is managed by the IT department. It’s perfect for tuning our software applications. I consider it as a key solution for our company, ensuring our infrastructure with a fast and reliable service.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog is a great solution for displaying server metrics and trigger alerts whenever an issue appears. If you ever have any issue with the software, the costumer support will always be there to answer properly. However, I would not recommend Datadog for doing advanced mathematical operations. On those cases, it may be necessary to integrate with another BI tool.
Who knows what is slow? DataDog!
What do you like best about the product?
I pretty much only use the APM part of the software since that is most useful to my job (Developer). I can spent 5min in DataDog to identify work for the next week.
Integrating in existing product was very easy, setup and maintenance are easy. Does not feel like it adds any overhead to the app.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few features I would like to see as a developer, support is generally open to ideas, but it rarely ends up being implemented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is really hard to know what is slow, and if it is slow does it actually get used. I often encounter "slow" pages while writing code, but these might be things only used two times a day. With DataDog I can find useful overviews from the production environment to what is actually slow and used. There seems to be no performance impact by DataDog tracer at 100% sampling.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For complex applications you will need use customized tagging. Also, sql my by obfuscated a little bit too much.
App performance
What do you like best about the product?
I have always felt that datadog has a very advanced system more than any other software that provides the same services because its good performance and the results that have been released have affirmed that all the monitoring of the app and programs of the company are well monitored by Datadog, providing a good 24/7 monitoring service making sure that any warning of something that is failing will reach the notification to the mail informing what is happening
What do you dislike about the product?
To place a profile picture on my datadog account, direct it to another page to create an avatar and there is a possibility to customize the datadog account with the photo but I do not like to do all this process in order to have my photo and try to create my avatar in the page that directs me datadog and is a very slow page that has no explanation of how to do then choose to leave the photo without the account
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any failure that is going to happen in any app or program keeps me informed of the performance that is processing to be alert that if it is not fixed and the necessary measures are taken, the information that is saved can be lost that is why before it causes more damage fix it and thus avoid more problems
Excelent monitoring tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The simple it is to get started, just install the agent and create a dashboard. Then personalize the metrics you want to track
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I didn't find anything to strongly dislike. Everything is pretty much very well done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log monitoring in order to identify issues in our services before its too late to do something about it and in consequence have lots of clients impacted by this
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog is a very well rounded tool, with lots of features and compatible with many many many services.
I would carefully review the pricing, but other than that is a solid go to. They have a 2 week free trial that I highly recommend.

DataDog To Manage Integration Apps
What do you like best about the product?
Super flexible and tons of metrics by which you can set alerts and build dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to be pretty technical to use the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We monitor our integration applications for response times and JVM health.
Versatile product at a great value
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog allows you to collect and cross-reference various metadata about your application--it's wonderful to have APM, container health monitoring, and logs in one place. Also, I spent a LOT of time with Datadog support... and I mean, A LOT, because our use case (our app is Dockerized and deployed on Aptible) is not typical. The support team was, pun intended, dogged in their persistence to help me get Datadog working for us. And it's a great value, cost-wise.
What do you dislike about the product?
The query functionality on the logs is not as advanced/flexible as I'd like, nor are the alerting capabilities. For instance, I'd like to be able to run a given log query (e.g., how many errors like X in the last 12 hours) and post it to slack or email or whatever, and right now this isn't supported. Also, for us to really get full use, we need them to offer a BAA, since we are HIPAA compliant. (Right now, we restrict what goes into Datadog to stay compliant.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a cost-effective log storage solution and we also really liked that we could get APM functionality in the same app--and we needed to be able to do it all in our particular infrastructure, namely we need to run a separate Docker container that runs the Datadog agent. We get the benefit now of having our metadata in one place for not a lot of money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If price is a concern, Datadog is the best value out there.
Problem solving
What do you like best about the product?
Indicates the success or failure of each app installed on the computers of the company and so know the performance of each if its functionality is correct or something is failing, looking for low performance solutions making each app work without any problem
It shows me the success of the service with codes that refer to the possible errors that are in the system or when there is a code in HTTP status indicates the success showing in detail well informed of each warning that produces

What do you dislike about the product?
In the option that they have to use for a free period the platform does not have technical support enabled, but in the other paid plans if it is enabled but it is free, which if it is free it is obvious that to begin with I would have many questions but I had no one to answer it with the training tutorials I learned, but many things were missing that when I started paying I asked them but at the beginning I did not like that detail
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have the control of the proper functioning of each app or each program that is installed and also the control of the malfunction that each program has and thus to know if the malfunction continues or the app or the program has to be changed for another that its operation if it is the right one
