Great tool for starters and professionals
What do you like best about the product?
In my opinion DataDog offers a broad suite of products for observability which can easily be integrated with different providers. For AWS you can simply install a CloudFormation Template which then allows DataDog to access logs from your account. The user interface is pretty easy to use and also offers non-technical people an overview to the most important metrics. Integrating notification services such as Slack is also doable with a few clicks and allows you to send alerts to your teams' slack channel to have them notified instantly so they do not need to have a glance on DataDog every day.
What do you dislike about the product?
DataDogs pricing is sometimes not really clear for us and for some services we just had to wait for a month to pass so we can see how much another service really costs. While you can see what everything costs on their pricing page, this sometimes leaves questions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Without DataDog we really hadn't had any central solution for monitoring all our infrastructure and make it easy for other colleagues to access this data.
