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
- Heavy learning curve to several key features.
- Not very good for Azure
- The datadog agent eats a bit too much memory
- No significant cons, though I'd like to be able to monitor RDS health without integrating to the entire AWS.

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.

Documentation is the key. Reading everything will help in perfect Usecase implementation.
Analytics Software
What do you like best about the product?
Really valuable third party analytics software, allows me to save time by tracking useful metrics and see what's happening in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too intuitive at first, takes some time to understand the metrics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking metrics that we care about and seeing how our projects are being developed.
Metrics Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboards,Metrics, APIs, Connectors and Graphs
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such , just the naming convention of metrics should be enforced.

Data collection at scale
What do you like best about the product?
Data Dog is really great at collecting data and give real-time perfomance metrics.
It is super flexible and work for all the technologies that we are using.
Also it is super easy too configure an alerting system like Pagerduty to notify us if something is odd.

What do you dislike about the product?
Within Data Dog, the dashboarding is quite hard to figure out.
There is time were too much information is just disturbing. Data Dog could fall in this pattern if you don't design properly your dashboard.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Dog helped us to get realtime metric on basic object within our infrastructure.
It give what happened in what order. So debugging is much easier.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog is really great and simple to use. The are also adding new support for a lot of technology and programming language so doing hook is pretty easy.
Great Experience but not PCI Compliant
What do you like best about the product?
Love their integration with almost all popular frameworks out there. Can get started in just one line agent installation. Looked into their Log management solution which is also great!
What do you dislike about the product?
Alas, they are not PCI compliant therefore exporting logs to them becomes a challenge as it comes under purview of PCI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it mainly as a metrics aggregation tool and also using for log management for non critical workloads with respect to PCI.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best for small infrastructures as too costly for bigger ones.
One of the best data monitoring tools
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to integrate with almost all of the cloud services is the best thing I like about datadog. Having used it for almost 7-8 months I found out that you can configure logs for even the smallest of unexpected behaviours in datadog
What do you dislike about the product?
Would've appreciated if they offered a free plan with limited functionality for early-stage startups. Currently they only have a 14days trial period
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using datadog as a monitoring system in case of failure. Having already used cloudwatch I think datadog offer tons of integrations and customizations out of the box
Great out of the box experience
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that its extremely easy to get started. The agent install is a one line command and you are good to go. Integration with all popular channels such as Slack, Pagerduty. Ready made dashboards add to the charm as absolutely low barrier to entry and sensible defaults.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too costly. 15 USD for one host is way too much for a startup who has close to 10 servers which can be expected. They do provide a free account for upto 5 hosts though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Datadog for application errors monitoring and alerting. We have realized tremendous benifits in terms of headspace that correct people will be notified should anything break.
Data Dog is A Good Boi
What do you like best about the product?
We used Data Dog for our Saas and Paas alerting and incident monitoring. It integrated very nicely with our other systems, we integrated with Hipchat for instance to monitor some of our critical services. Our team could then keep an eye on issues as they develop and see trending problems very easily. The visualizations are very cool, while we tenedd to not get too much use out of them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I mostly have nothing negative to say, the pricing is very reasonable, the integrations are great. I suppose if I had to come up with something it would be that there can be a somewhat overwhelming amount of information being presented sometimes but once you get past the learning curve it is not bad at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were using data dog to expose our SAAS and PAAS alerting to our entire team (we have this integrated through Hipchat). We could see issues nearly live as they develop and get that information in front of the appropriate groups all at once.We have since moved to Pulseway.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend data dog, its a great product at a great price and it integrates nicely just as you would expect into other systems.
