Comprehensive Monitoring with Easy Setup
Reviewed on Dec 22, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how detailed the log traces can be in Datadog, and how I can search for specific logs based on labels and facets. Setting up Datadog agents was also very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing can become really expensive at scale, especially when log ingestion and custom metrics are not carefully managed. It would really be nice to be able to view a cost dashboard, as I don't think Datadog has that feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Datadog to gain insights into application metrics and monitor key metrics like memory and CPU usage. It also provides visibility into services deployed across clouds like GCP and AWS.

Unmatched Reliability and Observability You Can Trust
Reviewed on Dec 20, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about DataDog are its reliability and observability. Even during major global outages, such as those affecting Cloudflare and AWS, DataDog continued to perform without any issues. The APM, RUM, and Synthetic Checks are exceptionally dependable, giving me the confidence to choose DataDog without hesitation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the UI had a more modern look, as it currently feels like I'm using an old inventory management system from the 2000s.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DataDog has been highly beneficial for us in many ways, from monitoring synthetic checks to tracking APM traces. The platform provides a map of interconnected, dependable services, allowing us to view latency and error rates all in one central location. The alerting mechanism is easy to use, supports numerous integrations, and consistently works smoothly.

Unified Monitoring (APM) That Accelerates Issue Diagnosis and Incident Resolution
Reviewed on Dec 18, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog brings infrastructure, applications, logs, and security signals together in one place, which makes it much easier to understand what is really happening in an environment and to move quickly from detection to action. The correlation between metrics, traces, and logs is particularly valuable when diagnosing incidents, as it reduces guesswork and speeds up root cause analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Datadog is extremely powerful, it can become difficult to control and predict costs in large or rapidly changing environments, particularly when ingesting high volumes of logs, metrics, and traces. Without strong governance and regular tuning, usage can grow quickly and lead to unexpected spend.
In addition, the breadth of features can sometimes feel overwhelming. Teams need time and clear ownership to configure dashboards, alerts, and monitors properly; otherwise, there is a risk of noise, alert fatigue, or under-utilisation of the platform’s capabilities.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog helps us centralise logs and monitor our Java applications and APIs, and provides APM (Application Performance Monitoring) to quickly detect performance issues and troubleshoot incidents or bottlenecks.
