What do you dislike about the product?
1. The initial deployment of the tool can be a little challenging especially if you have not used the tool before.
2. The delays in the monitoring agents can be reduced as sometimes it is very critical to receive the alerts in real time and delays can lead to system failures.
3. The pricing of the tool is also a bit high as compared to other APM's.

Sandeep Datadog Review
What do you like best about the product?
The monitoring, visualizations and aggregation with our aws integration worked out pretty well for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
The license is quite expensive, could have been better for Azure integration and features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used this for monitoring the traffic within our AWS and Azure cloud infrastructure. Integrating our stuff, the more services you integrate, the more benefit you get out of this tool.
My Experience with Datadog Cloud Based Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Instant online chat support rather than waiting days for a return call. I also like that it is a java free web based program and that navigating the monitors via notification links is easy. Integration with an internal slack support channel helps organize monitoring into one channel rather than being mixed with email.
What do you dislike about the product?
For IP monitoring the IP has to be live to do the setup, would prefer if the setup could be done without the monitor being online yet but there is also an advantage to making sure it is up as part of the setup so that feature is both a like and dislike. We have had issues with monitors getting stuck and having to be restarted to clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notification of devices that need network connectivity being offline, disk space, and memory usage. Not having to deal with java and being able to edit my own monitors rather than having a system administrator exclusively responsible to manage monitors results in more timely monitoring and less missed setups.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their support is great, do not hesitate to pop up a chat any time you have a question. I was not involved in the actual pricing so I cannot speak to cost but I know the evaluation team would have taken it being affordable.
Monitor All The Things
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog's myriad integrations make it useful for monitoring just about any web stack you can imagine.
What do you dislike about the product?
The permissions model for dashboards make it a free-for-all. You have two choices, admin or unprotected. If the dashboards are unprotected, anyone can edit them. In larger team environments where users have varying levels of skill and a different view of which metrics are important, this can create a mess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog provides visibility into our system performance by allowing us to visualize and monitor telemetry and metrics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I really do like this product. If you have a large number of servers, it can get expensive compared to an open source solution. However, managing an OSS solution that provides all of what Datadog can will be time-intensive. Datadog just works.
Lots of integrations to work with and monitor
What do you like best about the product?
Integrations and quick follow up from Datadog team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The features you get by subscribing to the higher tiers. But haven't used is for long.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it and implement.
Logging, metrics and alerting all in one package
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to aggregate metrics to pull out outliers across a large group of processes/instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to drill down from metrics to logs especially when looking at aggregate groups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of web services hosted in AWS, troubleshooting and log spelunking
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lots of features, but this produces a more complex UI and steeper learning curve
Efficient performance monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, simple installation, great features which allow you to observe variety of metrics and extract critical observations about system performance. CPU monitoring is very useful. Creating graphs and metric customization is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
User interface is technical, not a naive user's playground. Learning the basics can be time-consuming at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance monitoring, system analysis, and visual reporting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog is highly efficient once the users get to know how to work the app. Its visualization tools and reporting metrics are a must for any organization.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Price. It's not cheap

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Graphite as a monitoring tool. We had constant performance problems and system crashes. We started using Datadog and managed to obtain more detailed graphics, better dashboards, and a more reliable monitoring system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the trial version, install some agents in your servers, enjoy
Simple to Deploy Tools
What do you like best about the product?
I liked how easy it was to get my on-prem and AWS systems into the same dashboard and system.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me, I would have liked to seen pricing based on data points ingested, not just node count. This can cause things to get pricey pretty fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had zero metric insights into our AWS systems. And internally, things like Zabbix and Nagios require a lot of work for little change. We were able to correlate AWS data to onsite date. In a simple, visual dashboard.
Beautiful APM with fast API Access and operations.
What do you like best about the product?
1. User Interface is very good.
2. API is flexible. Designed with keeping Developer view in mind.
3. Good Admin part for team.

I did't came across anything I feel disliking about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Stream and APM management. Team really likes Admin dashboard and Notification system.
