Some features are not as easily navigable and intuitive as one would hope; fortunately, our dedicated DataDog team is receptive to such feedback and always offers alternative solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog solves many of our issues around aggregated metrics and logging, as well as the ability to trace our data completely through the system (whether that is through using native Datadog log tracing, or "in-house" log tracing).
Many of our apps are deployed on Kubernetes, and Datadog provides many useful out-of-the-box features that the team can use.
