A good monitoring solution for infrastructure as well as application
What do you like best about the product?
I have worked for more than four years with Datadog for monitoring. Their dashboards are very useful and never missed alerting as configured. They have a vast list of application plugins which gives insights about them, just plug in with connectors and DD will populate the metrices for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their capabilities to automatically populate stacks are minimal. DD should work more exposing their API such that customers can make use of them to automatically populate stacks with their metrices and alerts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are providing monitoring and alerting SaaS. SaaS itself is the benefit. I don't have to manage my on-prem monitoring and alerting solution.
Used it for log analysis and trigger alarms on errors
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is super fast when it comes to log searching. It allows powerful search queries and also allows to create graphs based on logs.
Setting up alarms on specific log texts is easy and has integration with other tools like slack and pager duty

Comprehensive platform that keeps evolving
What do you like best about the product?
How they constantly evolve their products.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because of the constant evolution of their functionalities, sometimes the documentation could not be up-to-date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring a custom kubernetes platform
It's snowing in Canada
What do you like best about the product?
We are using the dashboards for databases monitoring and some cloud integration. It's easy to set up, alerting is also easy to set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there is a delay before the metrics shows up on the dashboards, which can be up to 5 min and is very important during critical incidents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are monitoring databases in Datadog, with some alerting. It helps a lot to understand when there is degraded performances.
I'm a borderline fanboy at this point
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is building out a platform that covers not only all logging and monitoring needs, but also integrates them together nicely. The interface has a consistent feel, and the support staff is generally well-above averagee.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a bit on thee pricey side in some areas -- there are a lot of competitive open-source solutions but I'm thankfully at a business that allows us to get tools like this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are leveraging Datadog for general metrics, APM, and as of recently... logs. The ability to view associations between these pillars is a great benefit that we didn't have when using separate tools.
Datadog as our APM
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is a complex software, but after using it for a while, you will notice you always have to do the same process, so it becomes easier and you can master it within time. The interface is simple and the visuals are clean, something that's really helpful to address most of our technical needs. It allows for customization of the dashboards, so you can make them more suitable for yourself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Datadog is a bit complicated at first. The Setup and configuration are hard to do correctly, so you may need the help of a specialist to do this
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We deployed Datadog as our APM and it has worked out just great. Among several options of similar software, we decided to pick Datadog because it provided the best general view of our environment and our system's performance. Datadog works very good by itself, but we decided to integrate it with ServiceNow, and it was even better. Our newest employees in the IT department usually learn and adapt to Datadog's services quickly and without complications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Datadog for medium size businesses that have to handle with complex software and many systems to be managed. It could work good for bigger companies as well, but they could get stuck at some point, as Datadog has its limitations, especially if it has to handle with many computers. And for smaller companies, some of its biggest features could be wasted.
Good product
What do you like best about the product?
It has enough features for monitoring, easy to use, good manuals, price-worthy.
What do you dislike about the product?
lack of notifications for breaking changes. I should check datadog blogs by myself to catch those changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring and alerting.
Aggregating all our logs
What do you like best about the product?
We use datadog to aggregate logs from very different source and easily dig through them. Viewing logs in context is amazing to identify and solve issues quickly
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s a bit more complex to setup than other alternatives
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aggregating logs from disparate sources
