Datadog as a Single Source of Truth for Metrics, Traces, and Logs
DataDog Delivers Deep, Reliable Visibility Across AWS and GCP
Essential for Accurate Logging and Issue Resolution
Log monitoring has reduced costs and enables faster troubleshooting for cloud applications
What is our primary use case?
The main use case for Datadog is to troubleshoot using application logs, and that is a great use case. Whenever we have integrated Datadog with all the application logs, we receive all the application logs there. Because CloudWatch logs are so expensive to use, we have integrated with Datadog, and it is very cost-friendly. The best use case is whenever we receive an error or suppose we have an issue going on, we can check it using Datadog logs and we can resolve it based on the logs.
What is most valuable?
The integration part is very smooth in terms of Datadog. The best features Datadog offers are first integration, second it is reliable, we can rely on it twenty-four seven, and third it is cost-effective.
Datadog integrates with any of the tools, and for now, we are working on the AWS cloud, so it is very easy to integrate with any of AWS services. We can push any of the logs for any of the applications. Datadog seems to be very reliable and stable, so we can check the logs and check anything there.
In terms of positivity, Datadog is cost-effective. We have used CloudWatch as well sometimes, but CloudWatch is expensive to use. If we want to search for any of the log streams, it is quite expensive. The cost is so much higher for that particular tool. But in terms of Datadog, it is very much cheaper than CloudWatch logs. It is similar to CloudWatch, but it is more cost-effective.
Datadog has helped our team save money, time, and resources, and I am certain that it has saved our time and our money.
What needs improvement?
Datadog can be improved if there is an AI functionality enabled. Let's suppose we are receiving a number of errors; an AI-integrated feature can happen there and it just gives us a root cause analysis based on the report, based on the error logs, and which service and what error codes we have received. That is how we can improve it.
I believe that is something which every organization wants, and I guess that is something really important because everyone wants the root cause after an incident has occurred.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Datadog for the last five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have never seen downtime with Datadog. It is pretty reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We can scale N number of things in Datadog. It is pretty scalable with no issues in the scaling part.
How are customer service and support?
I never reached out to customer support because I did not have to. Because we had no downtime for Datadog, we are good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Kibana before Datadog, but the problem with Kibana was there was so much downtime in Kibana. We used to have so many issues in Kibana and the troubleshooting was impacted due to that. So we switched to Datadog.
How was the initial setup?
I purchased Datadog through the AWS Marketplace .
What about the implementation team?
The implementation was amazing. The pricing is amazing and everything was so smooth with Datadog, so no issues at all.
What was our ROI?
I would say 100% return on investment. Let's suppose if I have to give an example of CloudWatch, it costs so much. If I have to search for two days of logs, it would cost me around three times more than what I search for from Datadog. Datadog is something which I can 100% rely on, and it is very cost-effective and totally worth it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have evaluated CloudWatch and Kibana, and hence I chose Datadog.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend creating a data dashboard instead of searching for the logs. That feature is quite useful, so you can use the dashboards and you can monitor it from one place and also you can troubleshoot it from there as well using the logs. That is a very useful thing in Datadog. I give this review an overall rating of nine out of ten.
