Multi-Faceted Analysis Tools
What do you like best about the product?
I like all of the sub-products that Datadog offers. Each area in Datadog could almost be a standalone software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Datadog (currently) lacks billing monitoring/alerts. While you can log into the product to see your usage and billing so far for the month, you can't set a quota/threshold or any alerts for billing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog allows me to monitor client hosts (infrastructure monitoring) in depth. This lets me see if critical processes have stopped as well as store performance metrics.
Very strong APM software, scales to larger applications
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog has really good log search, and overall tracks metrics well and supports alerting to many different endpoints. Automatic percentiles is a big plus for engineering. Good for debugging issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
For making dashboards, sometimes the UI is overly complex and clunky. Also, there is an issue where rates are not averaged over individual minutes as expected, which confused some people on QPS graphs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
APM software, tracking performance and error rates for various services. Helps both detect issues via alerts and then also debug them with logs. The log functionality is strong, and fast.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The product is currently at evaluation stage with the 14 day trial period which Datadog offers. The tool is being used for monitoring the existing Cloud infrastructure which is based on AWS, and integrations are being tested.
Opaque prices, inflexible billing, unexpected charges - strongly avoid.
What do you like best about the product?
1. All services in one place
2. Excellent monitoring functionality in UI

What do you dislike about the product?
Be prepared to be completely ripped off in billing. My Datadog bill came to 2x my AWS bill. Ludicrous.
1. Datadog billing panel does now show how much you owe at the moment, or how much you've used. You just wait until the end of the month and pray it won't be something ridiculous.
2. You'll be charged for random accidents / fluctuations. Accidentally spin up a 100 hosts for 10 seconds? Boom, 15$/host -> 1500 USD charged to you. No way to set caps, no limits, no way to even get alerted that you're gonna be charged this amount.
I can't believe something with this level of professionalism has grown so big. If you're planning to use them PLEASE be aware of these extremely shady policies.

Was using them to monitor user behavior. Won't be using them any longer.

Don't. Other options exist where you don't risk accidentally bankrupting your company.
Enterprise grade monitoring with Datadog
What do you like best about the product?
Having a single platform for monitoring all kinds of infrastructure is helpful. Datadog has excellent support and learning resources to get started with monitoring our application/infrastructure. There are integrations for almost all types of cloud or on-premise infrastructure and applications. The system is resilient with no issues in terms of performance or outages. The log management and tracing is very convenient using Datadog with features like retention, backup, formatting, and RBAC.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation for a few integrations is outdated and not always straightforward. You'll have to reach out to support quite a few times while setting it up. While creating new dashboards, it is not autosaved or even suggested for saving, which is a huge pain point if not known earlier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Datadog for monitoring our infrastructure, logs, and traces, along with monitoring our real users through the UI. It has excellent features for an end to end monitoring once set up correctly and provides a holistic view of our entire infrastructure, helping us debug issues quickly.
Great way to look at logs for emails and texts
What do you like best about the product?
I like that is is easy to use and intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was a bit more detail when something is not delivered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When users say that they did not get an email or text we use this to see if they did.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great way to pull logs - if you are looking for a ton of detail this might not be your best option
Helping us be Data-driven.
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog has allowed our organization to equip our various teams with more data, allows our teams to more easily track different trends, and creates the opportunity for better tracking.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are aspects that are harder for some users to pick up and immediately utilize. This is most likely - in large part - due to our current implementation and less directly related to Datadog itself, but the tool could provide more options for direction throughout.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog allows us to create dashboards and log reports that can then be easily run by various members of our team. This allows us to keep an eye on key core processes to ensure that things continue to run smoothly across the different aspects of our services.
Advanced logging and monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
DataDog has a huge array of options available for searching logs and creating monitors and dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
For someone who isn't super into logging/monitoring, all the options can be a bit overwhelming and the interface seems pretty advanced.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Logging user and system events and monitoring for issues.
