For how long have I used the solution?
I have used the solution for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
How are customer service and support?
I have not personally interacted with customer service. I am satisfied with tech support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I am using ThousandEyes and Datadog. Datadog supports AI-driven data analysis, with some AI elements to analyze, like data processing tools and so on. AI helps in Datadog primarily for resolving application issues.
How was the initial setup?
It was not difficult to set up for me. There was no problem.
What was our ROI?
I can confirm there is a return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I find the setup cost to be too expensive. The setup cost for Datadog is more than $100. I am evaluating the usage of this solution, however, it is too expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate this solution eight out of ten.
Makes it easy to track down a malfunctioning service, diagnose the problem, and push a fix
What is our primary use case?
We use Datadog for monitoring and observing all of our systems, which range in complexity from lightweight, user-facing serverless lambda functions with millions of daily calls to huge, monolithic internal applications that are essential to our core operations. The value we derive from Datadog stems from its ability to handle and parse a massive volume of incoming data from many different sources and tie it together into a single, informative view of reliability and performance across our architecture.
How has it helped my organization?
Adopting Datadog has been fantastic for our observability strategy. Where previously we were grepping through gigabytes of plaintext logs, now we're able to quickly sort, filter, and search millions of log entries with ease. When an issue arises, Datadog makes it easy to track down the malfunctioning service, diagnose the problem, and push a fix.
Consequently, our team efficiency has skyrocketed. No longer does it take hours to find the root cause of an issue across multiple services. Shortened debugging time, in turn, leads to more time for impactful, user-facing work.
What is most valuable?
Our services have many moving parts, all of which need to talk to each other. The Service Map makes visualizing this complex architecture - and locating problems - an absolute breeze. When I reflect on the ways we used to track down issues, I can't imagine how we ever managed before Datadog.
Additionally, our architecture is written in several languages, and one area where Datadog particularly shines is in providing first-class support for a
multitude of programming languages. We haven't found a case yet where we
needed to roll out our own solution for communicating with our instance.
What needs improvement?
A tool as powerful as Datadog is, understandably, going to have a bit of a learning curve, especially for new team members who are unfamiliar with the bevy of features it offers. Bringing new team members up to speed on its abilities can be challenging and sometimes requires too much hand-holding. The documentation is adequate, but team members coming into a project could benefit from more guided, interactive tutorials, ideally leveraging real-world data. This would give them the confidence to navigate the tool and make the most of all it offers.
For how long have I used the solution?
The company was using it before I arrived; I'm unsure of how long before.
Vendor Interactions Relation Management - DataDog
What do you like best about the product?
One of the most thing being liked about datadog is the detailed information of the the track of the application, its request/response, error/log traces, complete api information with integration of the application servers, databases making sure the application remaining up and running throught the business working hours without any intereptions.
The complete visibility of the error traces makes it easy to track down any issues reported and thus making its fixes.

What do you dislike about the product?
When integrating the application its servers the database the cost is quite high. also when it comes to large applciation wiht heavy database it is tough to integrate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog helos in monitoing the entire application inclusing the servers, databases, api its request response error log and traces. Also with error success rates and different views a developer can easily configures the application in datadog and wntire application can be monitored easily in just few clicks. The benefits it gives to business is the applicaiton availability 24x7 and easy access to logs thus eliminating the problems and ensuring working of the application.
Once you got onto Datadog (a closed platform), they will leverage switching cost to squeeze you
What do you like best about the product?
Their marketing is very strong. As I was choosing between Grafana vs Datadog, I believed datadog can solve my problems quicker and I am willing to pay more for that.
What do you dislike about the product?
1 months into datadog, my decision of choosing Datadog over Grafana is already biting me. None of my expectations were materialized
1. Datadog was not quicker to set up; there are less support docs/examples comparing to Grafana.
2. Datadog's support team are all about being "nice" instead of making real progress. Very inefficient.
3. When you are stuck, their support will remind you of the "switching cost" instead of solving real problems for you. Very distasteful.
4. I invested in a closed platform instead of an open source stack where I have a much easier time to extend and switch.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have many microservices. As an executive, I needed a service catelog to track, monitor, and level up all of the services across all dimensions (APM, Cloud Cost, Incident, Log, etc).
Datadog is a great monitoring and observability tool
What do you like best about the product?
Is a tool that provides many services like infrastructure monitoring, logging, database monitoring, etc. The great about this is that all services are interconnected, so when a problem ocuurs in your systems you can configure Datadog to have end 2 end visibility of your platform, helping the engineers to debug and find problems easy and fast enough.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the ui is very overwhelming, specially at the beginning, so many buttons and features makes the platform very complex to use, so the leraning curve is a bit hard at the beginnning, once you learn to use it is really simple and intuitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The monitoring and alerting systems we have in AWS and GCP are good to identify problems, but when it comes to review an end 2 end problem that there is no clue when the error is happening, datadog is providing the tools to follow step by step with full visibility of our systems. This is increasing the productivity of the engineering team a lot. We are right now finalizing our trial version but I can tell that not even getting the full potentil of it yet, is really promising what we achieved in just a few weeks. Very excited of what is coming with the new discoveries of this platform features
Very intuitive UI and powerfull integration
What do you like best about the product?
We have deployed Datadog for our all cloud deployments in AWS cloud. A large number of integrations allow us to literally monitor everything. From AWS cloud infra to hosted compute whether it be physical, virtual or serverless. We are using Datadog to monitor our endpoints and UI testing of the applications through synthetic tests.
Deployment is super easy and quick with highly skilled support team. Datadog is one of the most frequenctly used tool in our organization and its been great. Documentation is very detailed and has improved over time allowing us to setup everything without major hurdles.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some features are limited when compared to compatitors. We used to monitor the infra through NewRelic which offered more visibility into the running processes but Datadog is limited when it comes to manual process monitoring.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility to monitor the infrastructure, network, applications and databases was needed to optimize cost and resource right sizing. We also needed to monitor the infra and applications to keep track of whats happening and troubleshoot issues when they arrise. Datadog has helped us in doing this and we are satified with it.
