Effortless Monitoring Across Platforms with Datadog
It is easy to use and supports different kinds of platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP. Installation is very easy. Datadog provides all the required documents for integrating the agent. We can use the predefined dashboard templates many times, which is a lifesaver if we have repeated monitoring services.
Large-scale monitoring services and tracking are very easy, and the UI is clean, and we can find every service and access the running process via UI as well.
Cost is somewhat high; we have to pay even we utilize the resources or not.
And the main con is the customer support; they only deal via email, and we have to dump the log data into their storage. They first analyse the logs and come back to us; it will typically take 24-36 hours, which has an impact on the clients. Also, they only come on a call on production issues.
Comprehensive and Dynamic Monitoring for a Complete End-to-End View
Comprehensive Monitoring, But Setup Could Improve
Has helped centralize activity monitoring and generate detailed reports for leadership
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Datadog is logging security signals and monitoring account activity and suspicious behavior within our company.
For monitoring suspicious behavior, we look for alerts with things like unusual sign-in locations, unusual sign-in times, or registering new multi-factor devices in unusual circumstances or locations.
In addition to that, we also look for patterns and frequency of how often MFA is being prompted from individuals.
What is most valuable?
The best features Datadog offers include the ability to generate reports very quickly and put in extensive filtering to get very specific information.
The report generation and filtering help me in my day-to-day work by assisting in generating reports for higher-ups and turning data into actionable items.
Since using Datadog, it has positively impacted our organization by giving us a one-stop shop for multiple applications and services that we can analyze in one spot.
Having a one-stop shop has made things easier for my team, and we have seen specific outcomes such as saving a lot of time.
What needs improvement?
Datadog could be improved if the menu system was a little clearer and less cluttered, making it easier to navigate.
Additionally, more documentation is always beneficial to have.

I have been using Datadog for about three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Datadog is very stable.
