How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I am using ThousandEyes and Datadog. Datadog supports AI-driven data analysis, with some AI elements to analyze, like data processing tools and so on. AI helps in Datadog primarily for resolving application issues.
How was the initial setup?
It was not difficult to set up for me. There was no problem.
What was our ROI?
I can confirm there is a return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I find the setup cost to be too expensive. The setup cost for Datadog is more than $100. I am evaluating the usage of this solution, however, it is too expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate this solution eight out of ten.
