Good product, but doesn't understand it's value
What do you like best about the product?
We love Datadog. It is a great way to consume metrics from aws and alert on them and build dashboards.

Datadog

What do you dislike about the product?
Data dog does offer a free service but it limits you to one day of retention, five hosts, and no alert capability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
datadog offers analysis capabilities that extend well beyond a traditional report set, starting with the search capability provided in the event view. Users can build queries based on a number of criteria, including the host, event priority, tag, or status which has allowed us to be more analytical in all of our approach
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog offers three pricing tiers, including a free service level that limits you to one day of retention, five hosts, and no alert capability. The Enterprise tier is required for corporations looking to monitor more than 500 hosts, and pricing is negotiated on a per-customer basis.
Most customers will likely go for the Pro service level, which costs $15 monthly per host when billed annually. Datadog Pro provides support for up to 500 hosts and offers alerting, custom metrics and events, and 13-month data retention.

Uptime for websites and backend tools
Allows us to quickly see if errors are stacking, or requests are slowing down
Using datadog allowed us to spot an issue with one or our email queues and identify where in the product things were going wrong. Diagnostics took half the time with this knowledge.
