Excellent tool for monitoring everything in your infrastructure

  • January 14, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is a monitoring service that gives you a great overview of the state of your infrastructure at any given time. I like how it works almost out of the box with many popular frameworks such as nginx, celery and django. The documentation and tutorials provided on the official website are quite good, and since Datadog widely adopted, it's easy to get one's questions answered.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes hard to characterize log messages to the desired severity. There's lots of widely used applications which log by default to stderr, and this causes Datadog to classify everything they log as an error, when it is not the case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have set monitors so that we're alerted whenever our services are behaving in a way that could signify a problem (ie, database having high latency, high error rates in website etc)
We also have set up dashboards to have an overview of all our services and we use the Live Tail feature of the logs to see and share logs without needing to log-in to remote machines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have even slightly complex infrastructure (ie, more than three types of microservices running) then it's likely you can benefit from using Datadog to monitor that everything is running smoothly.

What do you dislike about the product?
Soemtimes working with the dashboard is little hard and i think the datadog agent eats a much memory as compared to other monitoring apps

Great monitoring platform

  • December 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Data dog does a great job of providing a "single pane of glass" consolidated dashboard view of of our live applications and giving us a single go-to source of truth for performance monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be slow to load at times and is not 100% intuitive when setting up.

Operations monitoring and application performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's easy to do a detailed evaluation for free or nearly so.

Datadog has proven invaluable

  • December 26, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Datadog team keeps building new features that we need before we even know we need them! They are so quick to add features and fix bugs that we report.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a dislike but their APM and logging still lag behind some of the more mature products out there. They are rapidly improving both though and they're very much usable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building monitors and alerting on what matters rather than just alerting on any issues that arise. It's allowed our NOC to be more efficient in responding to critical events by filtering out the noise. It also provides a detailed yet simple view for non-engineer folks to see what's going on throughout our network.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely do a POC with Datadog. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to on-board employees and get them building monitors and dashboards. It's better than what you're using for monitoring and is rapidly becoming a great logging and APM solution.

A very powerful APM

  • December 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is used by multiple teams in our company to constantly monitor the infrastructure and make sure that the systems are working smoothly.
Datadog offers a simple and very easy to use interface which makes it easy for us to train the new team members on the tool.
Datadog also offers a vast variety of integration with third party tool which makes it easy for us to build custom reports and alerts.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. The initial deployment of the tool can be a little challenging especially if you have not used the tool before.
2. The delays in the monitoring agents can be reduced as sometimes it is very critical to receive the alerts in real time and delays can lead to system failures.
3. The pricing of the tool is also a bit high as compared to other APM's.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog is used to constantly monitor all the system resources and raise alarm if any resource is not working as expected
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog can be really helpful if you want to build a alerting and monitoring system for your resources.

Sandeep Datadog Review

  • December 06, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The monitoring, visualizations and aggregation with our aws integration worked out pretty well for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
The license is quite expensive, could have been better for Azure integration and features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used this for monitoring the traffic within our AWS and Azure cloud infrastructure. Integrating our stuff, the more services you integrate, the more benefit you get out of this tool.

My Experience with Datadog Cloud Based Monitoring Tool

  • December 04, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Instant online chat support rather than waiting days for a return call. I also like that it is a java free web based program and that navigating the monitors via notification links is easy. Integration with an internal slack support channel helps organize monitoring into one channel rather than being mixed with email.
What do you dislike about the product?
For IP monitoring the IP has to be live to do the setup, would prefer if the setup could be done without the monitor being online yet but there is also an advantage to making sure it is up as part of the setup so that feature is both a like and dislike. We have had issues with monitors getting stuck and having to be restarted to clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notification of devices that need network connectivity being offline, disk space, and memory usage. Not having to deal with java and being able to edit my own monitors rather than having a system administrator exclusively responsible to manage monitors results in more timely monitoring and less missed setups.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their support is great, do not hesitate to pop up a chat any time you have a question. I was not involved in the actual pricing so I cannot speak to cost but I know the evaluation team would have taken it being affordable.

Monitor All The Things

  • December 04, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Datadog's myriad integrations make it useful for monitoring just about any web stack you can imagine.
What do you dislike about the product?
The permissions model for dashboards make it a free-for-all. You have two choices, admin or unprotected. If the dashboards are unprotected, anyone can edit them. In larger team environments where users have varying levels of skill and a different view of which metrics are important, this can create a mess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog provides visibility into our system performance by allowing us to visualize and monitor telemetry and metrics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I really do like this product. If you have a large number of servers, it can get expensive compared to an open source solution. However, managing an OSS solution that provides all of what Datadog can will be time-intensive. Datadog just works.
