The solution is primarily used for better understanding the health of applications, modern environments, and many other solutions, which are the main focus of Datadog and many other monitoring tools.
With Datadog specifically, I can look at the health of the technology stack and services, and also integrate multiple metric sources, security, business data, and much more. This makes it a real software solution for centralizing data and unifying monitoring silos in one place. Datadog is like a hub - not just a monitoring software.

Consolidated view of logs and metrics from across the infrastructure and application stack.
What do you like best about the product?
Seeing logs, metrics and tracing across disparate technology stacks makes finding and following problems across a microservice architecture much more straightforward. I find it easier than using AWS Cloudwatch to try and do the same.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of functionality, but some of these areas require configuration for them to work. However, this is par for the course with any monitoring and dashboarding product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows for the correlation of events across networked microservices without manually copying trace IDs or similar from one logging or tracing system to another. This makes it much quicker and easier to see the impact that one system can have on another.
Much more than just logging
What do you like best about the product?
I was impressed with the integrations part of DataDog.
Our main goal was to centralize activity and audit logs of critical systems in our organization.
We were able to integrate most of our systems in a matter of hours:
JumpCloud, Gsuite, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Auth0 and more.
The instructions were easy to follow, and an integration usually takes only a few minutes.

What do you dislike about the product?
Log parsing could be improved.
The logging format is not standard across machines when you have multiple devices with different OS.
If you want standardization, you must set up pipelines to ingest and parse the logs, which I found a bit tedious.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our motivation for choosing DataDog was security and compliance.
We are using DataDog as our Siem: our logs are centralized, we keep track of our IS KPIs, and we set up monitoring and alerts as needed.

What do you dislike about the product?
Price model, should be more flexible that's all
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Intergration Quality
Datadog is excellent for monitoring your infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
Easy setup to monitor clusters in Databricks running Apache Spark. Pre-setup dashboards help to quickly gain insights on a infrastructure level without the needs of DevOps.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing on the Datadog website could be more precise, such as allowing using a calculator for price estimates
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of cloud infrastructure across major cloud providers
Datadog help resolve our support tickets
What do you like best about the product?
We use it to understand and analyze the performance of our systems and use it as a way to monitor our system health checks so it saves some effort on the developer side.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is not the best, and some charts are not user-friendly for a non-techie person. Analyzing queries is not intuitive and requires some training to understand it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like I mentioned earlier, it helps in understanding the performance of the systems, web applications we build. We also use it as a monitor to ensure there is constant uptime.
Gives you the data you need for analytics and decision making
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, comprehensive reports, flexibility on the data you can track and real-time monitoring
What do you dislike about the product?
UI can be improved by making it more user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives us the full detail of an error when it occurs in our web app or on our API and helps us decide when implementing a feature.
Good for monitoring, helps centralize data, and reduces costs
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The solution primarily has helped the organization by helping us better understand the health of applications, modern environments, et cetera.
We can see the health of the technology stack and services. We can also integrate multiple metric sources, security, business data, and much more. It centralizes data and unifies monitoring in one place. It's Helping reduce costs with other solutions, and also reduces costs with teams that might waste time with manual troubleshooting.
What is most valuable?
Understanding better the health of applications, modern environments, and many other solutions, is the main focus of Datadog and many other monitoring tools.
With Datadog I can look at the health of the technology stack and services. I can also integrate multiple metric sources, security, business data, and much more. It's great for centralizing data and unifying monitoring silos.
Datadog is a hub, not just a monitoring software. The biggest value of Datadog is looking at the big picture, not only one part of it.
What needs improvement?
Datadog could have a better business analysis module.
Other vendors have specific business collections and analyses. With Datadog, I don't see much of it. It's possible to do this with custom metrics, dashboards, etc. However, none of those are business-focused - and that is what is lacking in Datadog.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for two years.
What other advice do I have?
We use the SaaS version of the product.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

OBSERVABILITY OG APPICATIONS THROUGH THE LAYERS, THE INFORMATION FOR THE DEVELOPERS
Awesome utility for us, you guys keep cranking amazingly useful features at high velocity
What do you like best about the product?
Overview of the full infrastructure, and integration between all layers, (Infra, Databases, Traces,).
Every time we see a "New" badge we have to try it because it "must be good". So thank you for your effort on building those features, and thank you for releasing only "high quality" and complete features that provide ACTUAL value (vs competitors, that don't really do much and lag behind features)
Also big thank you for full OpenTelemetry integration/support. and the Datadog OTLP agent integration.
Keep up the amazing work

What do you dislike about the product?
A bit of heavier lock-in lately, dd-trace is getting a big monopoly to collect reliably all things (traces, profiles, and now, Security (ASM)). I wish there was an open standard for that, or you guys would release an open standard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It all started with one central place for logs, monitors, alerts, traces.
It then evolved into a central place for service catalog overview, network map/dependencies calculator view.
I hope it will evolve further into one tool to rule them all (More verticals, PagerDuty full replacement, Zoom full replacement, JIRA full replacement)
I'm sure you can kick their butt with your high quality and capacity to execute.

Datadog review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the log searching ability as well as the appsec scanning. I would like to learn. more about the new feaures rolled out
What do you dislike about the product?
when the app sec feature was originally rolled out it wasnt really integrated well with the platform. I assume it is better now. And the pricing for sensitive data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log management and it helps triaging alerts
