It does what it needs to do
What do you like best about the product?
Their adaptability. At oine point they didn't have open telemetry options for the product, but then eventually added it on a year or two later
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing lol. It can get pretty heavy handed. Also support hasn't been the best compared to other products i've used in the past.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network and pod health. Alerting. Easy integrations. I do like the terraform provider

Actionable Observability
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is about the best interface I've seen for a data rich product. Their UI team clearly spends a ton of time getting into the very fine details of how the interface should respond in an intuitive way, as I'm always finding small little bits of joy that make it really easy to use.
The product also "just works" out of the box with a bunch of the managed AWS services we use at my company. I would not be nearly as confident in our cloud infrastructure without Datadog to let me know what's happening!

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some newer features that AWS released that I would like to see supported in Datadog's product--I have submitted a feature request but it has been pretty slow to get some of those updates made.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog allows us to track our cloud infrastructure and distributed systems in a cohesive platform
Great correlation between metrics, logs, RUM
What do you like best about the product?
Correlating metrics, ease of creation of monitors/alerts, existing integrations easy to set up, lambda layers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some documentation difficult to parse, many ways to perform same functionality for instrumenting metrics, costly logs, query customization is very difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Observability, correlating metrics, User Monitoring, logs aggregration

monitoring
APM for Troubleshooting
What do you like best about the product?
Its features of tracing and APM. It has made troubleshooting errors in the code far easier. It also connects to a wide variety of languages and operating systems. The filtering system that Datadog has built in is rather handy for finding monitors, dashboards, and events. The Watchdog AI is a helpful tool in spotting pattern you may not have noticed in your applications before, and its breakdown of the pattern and possible causes is helpful in narrowing down root cause. The monitors are simple to implement and can be linked with ServiceNow and Pagerduty rather easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
We wish there was better admin management tools for pushing out updates and giving alerts on a more timely fashion that upgrades are necessary. Communication of these changes could be a little more timely as well. Instrumentation for projects has also gotten more complex than when we first started, but it can be understandable given how much Datadog has grown.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped us identify error patterns and service behavior/insight (hit rate, error rate, etc.). This has helped us troubleshoot issues for major incidents.
Datadog
What do you like best about the product?
We use Datadog for logging and incidence response. It helps us catch any alerts as soon as it comes in.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of services Datadog offers that I haven't learn a lot about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog helps us keep track of server logs and alerts so that we can response to any server outage immediately.
Supercharges you observability workflow
What do you like best about the product?
Distributed tracing is pretty great. Also, the dashboarding is great. Also, DD is always innovating and bringing new offers to market. Synthetics have proven to be pretty powerful addition to our workflow and has saved us a ton of setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing strategy has us constantly on our toes to manage cost. Leaning into Config as Code would be helpful, and allow us to commit our synthetics to version control and push via CI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives us very convenient incident response tooling. We also use it to validate our performance testing numbers, dashboarding, smoke tests (via synthetics) and monitoring our API gateway.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Confusing UI
- The docs is expansive but finding things can be hard at times
- Instead of learning another DSL, I'd prefer to use SQL to query my logs

We're using Datadog as a one stop shop for everything: logging, tracing, metrics monitoring, performance analysis.
