Datadog: Great tool for monitoring cloud based infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog makes it easy to do monitoring and even setup alerts, also has a great APM.
Datadog simplifies doing APM + monitoring + alerts with one product instead of possibly using two software as a service tools plus a self hosted monitoring stack.

What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation could be better, but that being said the documentation covers a very broad set of topics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saves time and money to do certain things that would be very time consuming with for example a roll your own ELK stack.

Single point of solution to resource monitoring and healthcheck
What do you like best about the product?
With datadog you can quickly get up and running. May be the easiest among all out there. Since it enables you to put everything into one dashboard irrespective of their zone,VPC or environment type we can have one bookmarked place to look at for the first report. Once you figure out how to set up datadog agents then it's a one point of solution. Integrating it to IMs like slack is really easy and thresholds can be set individually to prioritize alerts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Database monitoring would have a delay if agent is set up. If you have a complex structure of DB infrastructure. this is going to be pain point. The UI could have been a little better, but not a blocker issue
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infrastructure and resource monitoring. Healthcheck, Batch jobs monitoring and follow up. IM notifications for failures.
With the help of datadog we were able to provide a one stop solution for support and maintenance team for resource availability and health check which are spread across various zones and VPC. We even merged various products to one single dashboard and hooked the threshold alerts to IMs like slack to automate alerting and eventually reducing the reaction time significantly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a large set of resources spread across various zones and you don't have too many people monitoring it's health, datadog is the way to go. It can be hooked to IMs which takes out most of the know alerts without even getting into Datadog
Great logs analysis tool
What do you like best about the product?
Really nice the way Datadog let the users search and do queries of a particular container/app, and also allows you to track related logs among other containers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Is not that easy to setup the different keywords or tags, by this I mean to allow the user to use some particular tags from logs to search/filter. You need to index those tags.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Datadog as a centralized log monitoring tool. We have several containers and apps running, and all the logs are processed and indexed by Datadog.
Analytical and united view for logs
What do you like best about the product?
It provides united view of logs from multiple servers that is best
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't maintain the history of logs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are having load balancer which have two log files l, so to get a united view of logs we use this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Provides a perfect matrices and analytical view of logs.
Great for logs analysis and bugs detection
What do you like best about the product?
You can track and view logs in real time, really helpful. I like the feature where you can create a custom view of a set of logs (with custom filters, column parsing and more).
What do you dislike about the product?
It gets complicated to use or know all the available features that Datadog has. Interface is tricky to use sometimes. Some filters are hard to use if you haven't mapped all the fields.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Logs tracking in real time, with the possibility to filter in various ways when needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! It is going to the right direction. But still some interfaces and ux to fix and make more understandable. However, it performs well and it is really useful. Real time logging works well.
Datadog is great for monitoring applications and ensure it’s performance
What do you like best about the product?
It is perfect for monitoring your applications performance, showing up all the relevant information in real time. With Datadog you can set alarms to notify any irregularity within the system. The API is very simple, so it allows integration with several applications or services. Besides, it allows for creation of a centralized source of data. About their costumer support, it’s very helpful and responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it has many benefits when monitoring your system, it also has some limitations when it comes to report and analyze. It does not have the right tools for doing advanced graphing operations. Also, Datadog needs to be more robust in order to improve its comercial image and become more reliable to the audience. When it comes to billing, it isn’t completely straightforward, being confusing at times, while you end up without understanding the monthly costs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog is an excellent monitoring solution. We use it to monitor our applications and ensure it’s performing well. It is adopted across the entire company, but it is managed by the IT department. It’s perfect for tuning our software applications. I consider it as a key solution for our company, ensuring our infrastructure with a fast and reliable service.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog is a great solution for displaying server metrics and trigger alerts whenever an issue appears. If you ever have any issue with the software, the costumer support will always be there to answer properly. However, I would not recommend Datadog for doing advanced mathematical operations. On those cases, it may be necessary to integrate with another BI tool.
Product of great interest
What do you like best about the product?
It gives me a balance in the work to know how is the performance of each app and each installed software that works and so be aware of each one or that is consuming many resources in the system that makes it slow and does not allow me to execute the actions that I need to do to make my work efficient, without Datadog I could not know which are the app that cause discomfort and that delay me in my work and its good support allows me to have the confidence to ask all the complications that are caused for make your cash settlement in a short time
What do you dislike about the product?
When I started using this platform I found it very complicated to use that I did not know where to start, it caused me a lot of headaches to know how it was working and what other functions it offered, the technical team explained to me but there were vocabulary that did not understand what I was doing. I call for help from a senior engineer who knew more about the issue and put the correct configuration to what I realized that if I did not know about programming and systems at a high level, not anyone can start doing the configuration because it will not succeed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The customer service is always helping all the problems are solved so that the platform works properly monitoring each app installed in the system and make everything have an optimal performance so that it does not collapse its proper functioning
Datadog for visualization of the server infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
Something I especially like about Datadog is the endless integration options it provides. It works perfect with platforms like Slack and AWS. The dashboards always show all the relevant information on the same screen, especially when it comes to graphics. They’re also easy to customize and read. The interface is modern and intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although I think the interface from Datadog is great, I think it lacks of options for configuring agents, so it can make this process quicker. Something Datadog really needs is to be woven into codes, in order to gain independence and become more efficient. Other than that, I consider Datadog to be a great tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog is our tool for the proper visualization of the performance of our server infrastructure. We use several tools from Datadog, specially the dashboard functionality to get a general and yet quick view of the current state of our environment. Whenever there’s an issue with our servers or websites, Datadog will always show accurately where’s the problem and when it was detected.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your job requires writing, testing and running applications, which occasionally generate large data, then Datadog would be a great tool for viewing this information graphically. If you work with other tools, you can always integrate them with Datadog. On the other hand, I would not recommend Datadog for process level metrics, as I think other tools, like Zabbix or Icinga, could work better on this.
App performance
What do you like best about the product?
I have always felt that datadog has a very advanced system more than any other software that provides the same services because its good performance and the results that have been released have affirmed that all the monitoring of the app and programs of the company are well monitored by Datadog, providing a good 24/7 monitoring service making sure that any warning of something that is failing will reach the notification to the mail informing what is happening
What do you dislike about the product?
To place a profile picture on my datadog account, direct it to another page to create an avatar and there is a possibility to customize the datadog account with the photo but I do not like to do all this process in order to have my photo and try to create my avatar in the page that directs me datadog and is a very slow page that has no explanation of how to do then choose to leave the photo without the account
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any failure that is going to happen in any app or program keeps me informed of the performance that is processing to be alert that if it is not fixed and the necessary measures are taken, the information that is saved can be lost that is why before it causes more damage fix it and thus avoid more problems
with datadog we can see all our monitoring in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is a simple to install and use. It can be used across platform, on premise or cloud. You can monitor everything securely without installing many server because datafog is a SAAS monitoring solution. free version is available also.
What do you dislike about the product?
can cost a lost for big volume (more than 500 objects). Log retention politics is actually limited to 30 days and you need to ask for more. Price for 30 days is 2.5$ per object.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
i was able to monitor and manage all my log, app, performance, even serverless and containers very easyly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you are looking to a great monitoring solution for cloud and on premise and you don't have any tool it is a good way because datadog offer support for everything like container, AWs, azure, google, on premise,
