APM for Troubleshooting
What do you like best about the product?
Its features of tracing and APM. It has made troubleshooting errors in the code far easier. It also connects to a wide variety of languages and operating systems. The filtering system that Datadog has built in is rather handy for finding monitors, dashboards, and events. The Watchdog AI is a helpful tool in spotting pattern you may not have noticed in your applications before, and its breakdown of the pattern and possible causes is helpful in narrowing down root cause. The monitors are simple to implement and can be linked with ServiceNow and Pagerduty rather easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
We wish there was better admin management tools for pushing out updates and giving alerts on a more timely fashion that upgrades are necessary. Communication of these changes could be a little more timely as well. Instrumentation for projects has also gotten more complex than when we first started, but it can be understandable given how much Datadog has grown.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped us identify error patterns and service behavior/insight (hit rate, error rate, etc.). This has helped us troubleshoot issues for major incidents.
Datadog
What do you like best about the product?
We use Datadog for logging and incidence response. It helps us catch any alerts as soon as it comes in.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of services Datadog offers that I haven't learn a lot about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog helps us keep track of server logs and alerts so that we can response to any server outage immediately.
Supercharges you observability workflow
What do you like best about the product?
Distributed tracing is pretty great. Also, the dashboarding is great. Also, DD is always innovating and bringing new offers to market. Synthetics have proven to be pretty powerful addition to our workflow and has saved us a ton of setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing strategy has us constantly on our toes to manage cost. Leaning into Config as Code would be helpful, and allow us to commit our synthetics to version control and push via CI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives us very convenient incident response tooling. We also use it to validate our performance testing numbers, dashboarding, smoke tests (via synthetics) and monitoring our API gateway.
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.
I’ve used many tools for log ingestion and monitoring and I find datadog the most complete
What do you like best about the product?
So many features to tailor your dashboards as your preference
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation is not always so clear. More interactive videos about how to use all its functionalities would be much appreciated
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to easily detect any anomalies with my services. And bugs are so much easier to track and resolve
Amazing SaaS product for observability!! Highly recommended!!
What do you like best about the product?
Full 360 degrees observability built into the product. Ease of use
What do you dislike about the product?
Little bit expensive. Lack of flexibility at a few features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing observability for cloud resources. Amazing alerting and business rules implementation for agility.
Consistent
What do you like best about the product?
It can monitor most api calls and provide relevant analytics. It also alerts when there is a down situation that we need to attend to right away. For us it prevents situations from going downhill so we can address before that happens.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our company needs more opportunities to use the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mulesoft monitoring
Integrations to cloud do not require difficult to maintain custom solutions.

Well rounded application, adaptable to business needs
What do you like best about the product?
For me, the central reporting using dashboards, and simple comparisons between each graph
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't have any complaints, potentially the fact it's not AD integrated? Though that's probably our deployment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The team uses it all slightly differently, but it's the clear view of response times to incidents, open vs closed incidents, an overall view of security operations from a single place is very useful
Great Platform

Easy to use and integrated with my services in AWS
What do you dislike about the product?
The agent to monitor AWS Lambda doesnt work properly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
