Very strong APM software, scales to larger applications

  • January 30, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Datadog has really good log search, and overall tracks metrics well and supports alerting to many different endpoints. Automatic percentiles is a big plus for engineering. Good for debugging issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
For making dashboards, sometimes the UI is overly complex and clunky. Also, there is an issue where rates are not averaged over individual minutes as expected, which confused some people on QPS graphs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
APM software, tracking performance and error rates for various services. Helps both detect issues via alerts and then also debug them with logs. The log functionality is strong, and fast.

Datadog review.

  • January 19, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- The tool can be deployed both on-premise or in Cloud as a SaaS service.
- It is a versatile tool which can be used for application performance monitoring, incident logging, monitoring network stats and detecting security threats.
- The pricing for the tool is competitive with respect to other APM tools like Dynatrace, Nagios etc.
- Wide range of dashboards which can be customised and many third party integrations are available.
What do you dislike about the product?
- The inbuilt integrations could cause the consumption of more system resources.
- The installation process is a little cumbersome as many steps are involved, and updates/patches are released frequently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The product is currently at evaluation stage with the 14 day trial period which Datadog offers. The tool is being used for monitoring the existing Cloud infrastructure which is based on AWS, and integrations are being tested.

Enterprise grade monitoring with Datadog

  • January 14, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Having a single platform for monitoring all kinds of infrastructure is helpful. Datadog has excellent support and learning resources to get started with monitoring our application/infrastructure. There are integrations for almost all types of cloud or on-premise infrastructure and applications. The system is resilient with no issues in terms of performance or outages. The log management and tracing is very convenient using Datadog with features like retention, backup, formatting, and RBAC.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation for a few integrations is outdated and not always straightforward. You'll have to reach out to support quite a few times while setting it up. While creating new dashboards, it is not autosaved or even suggested for saving, which is a huge pain point if not known earlier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Datadog for monitoring our infrastructure, logs, and traces, along with monitoring our real users through the UI. It has excellent features for an end to end monitoring once set up correctly and provides a holistic view of our entire infrastructure, helping us debug issues quickly.
