DataDog review

  • October 28, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to configure and report to. Also, very easy to set up dashboards and see visualisation of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow real-time updating of visualisation. There's at least a 20 sec lag between reporting of a metric and updating the graph/metric count on the dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reports on service activity, traffic patterns, extremely convenient to track website health, type and count of requests made, etc.

Lots of high level insight, not much to drill down into

  • July 20, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- The daily digest emails
- The quick systems overview
- Database performance overview
What do you dislike about the product?
- Inability to get more context for a particular event to drill down into.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Website monitoring and consolidation of other monitoring services into one unified platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You still may need to rely on other data sources once you've integrated everything into Datadog.

Datadog integrates with the right stuff

  • May 21, 2016

all the integrations are great - even turned me on to new services we could use
What do you dislike about the product?
The linux service is a pain to use, always having to check the manual for how to do anything, even like what its called.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
devops monitoring

Been using Datadog for almost 2 years monitoring at scale APIs and microservices

  • April 28, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Simple dashboards are really easy to setup but also powerful. We're able to easily monitor many parts of our infrastructure with a few easy integrations using already built Datadog agents. Alerting is also great and easy to setup for simple use cases
What do you dislike about the product?
The minute you get into more complicated scenarios the language used to write more complicated queries the documentation is not so great. From my personal experience I've quite a bit of trouble finding documentation even on functions like `rollup` I end up using quite often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring and alerting web applications and APIs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you understand the difference between metrics as count or as rate.
Create monitors after any downtime you experience.

Datadog review

  • April 21, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The train and user interface is relatively simple and easy to use. Integration is also just a drop in. The daemon is relatively lightweight
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to convince people to use it over New Relic, but that's a simple matter of brand recognition. The dashboards could be more customizable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly monitoring. It's done a decent job of hooking into other monitoring systems and firing alerts. It's been a good early warning system from time to time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good for APM but I wouldn't try to use it for other dashboards

Datadog provides instance live metrics across a whole stack.

  • April 18, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The available integrations are amazing and really easy to setup. Creating a dashboard to share with your team so you can see instantly see how things are perform (even without having to log in). Also, the dashboards look great on a large TV screen.
What do you dislike about the product?
Writing your own integrations isn't difficult but is time consuming. Sometimes it takes awhile to come up with the right formula for a widget that displays the information you want.

It'd be nice if there was a better way to look at data/dashboards on a mobile device.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like with other services we use, speed and reliability are important to us. Using tools like datadog allow us to constantly monitor our servers without having to log into them.

worked with datadog using its postgres monitoring

  • April 06, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
easy to use cloud based web app, pretty simple integration into your environment, most of the basic postgres metrics are obtained
What do you dislike about the product?
cloud based only, wished it ran on-premise
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
datadog is easy to recommend to customers that want to run this sort of metrics/monitoring on the cloud in a pay-as-you-go service, easy to use, great user interface

Easy to gather monitoring, lots of options

  • April 06, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that all of the data is collected into one place and easily searched, tagged, and commented on. As a less-informed user of some of the more down-to-the-metal services, it's easy to visualize each service and its health. The social-like feed of events is also helpful to see what's happening in your system, and in what order.

Custom dashboards are also nice to see the systems you interact with most.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there is an overwhelming amount of information to search through in order to start using the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can see the health of our systems easily from one centralized location, share comments, and integrate into the chat service we already use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely set up a custom dashboard.
