Experience with Datadog
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the Datadog real user monitoring (RUM), it provides us the insight of our frontend application as it was from our real users, it helps up a lot to understabnd it.
What do you dislike about the product?
We used datadog for RUM and we already liked this service and in future we will be using some integration service for amazon web services, so for now we do not dislike anything about datadog.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used datadog for real user monitoring (RUM) and it gave us insight to our application performance from the prespective of real users. With this we were able to identify the problems.
Great SaaS monitoring solution available in the market that supports several platforms
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog has so many integrations available, making it easy to use for AWS, Azure, GCP, On-prem, containers, serverless, and many more. The process to create monitors and dashboards is simple, helping the OPS team to implement the monitoring in quick time. The solution is excellent for application monitoring, as it supports monitoring using traces. Notification in Datadog is excellent as it integrates with Service-Now, Slack bringing immediate attention of the users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support from Datadog is something I see to be improved, as they deal with tickets only on emails. The support team doesn't connect over calls for troubleshooting, and there is no proper escalating process causing a delay in fixing monitoring issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team got more productive in terms of identifying and fixing issues upon leveraging Datadog as the monitoring tool for
- infrastructure services that include disk, CPU, memory, uptime, network IN, etc

Awesome application.
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboards of each AWS service, the way they display the graphs, the number of metrics collected by the agent, also the number of features to monitor AWS resources allow you to monitor every single detail in your architecture.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a little bit hard to start understanding the concept of datadog and how it works, also the cost of the services. And if possible to restructure the documentation, set proper title, put real case examples cause I did lost everytime so I am working on my own documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best thing that helps is the logs section, the way DataDog sectioned the logs allows you to pinpoint and spot any abnormal behavior behind high CPU and memory usage. In addition, to that the Database performance and especailly the RDS slow queries.

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.

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.
