Amazing UX
What do you like best about the product?
The user experience of DataDog is amazing. The granuality and flexibility of filters and charts makes it easy to quickly sift through large amounts of data and find what you need. This is especially useful when trying to quickly troubleshoot an incidents.
What do you dislike about the product?
One annoying thing about DataDog is working with IoC configurations that are defined in Terraform.
It's tough to make changes to your configurations because you need to deploy them in order to see if you did it correctly. It's also not possible to lock down resources defined with IoC, so sometimes people will edit something via the web UI that was conficuged in Terraform and then their changes will get reverted when Terraform re-deploys and they won't know why.

One Stop Solution (360 degree Monitoring)
What do you like best about the product?
Ecosystem and integration!
Effective communication between different Datadog products, such as APM and Infrastructure, shows detailed traces that I can drill down into to pinpoint the issue.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a need for more improvements and features in the Datadog security lineup. A centralized SCA and SAST is lacking. Additionally, easier integration with MS Teams and other third-party software is necessary.

1. At one glance I can see status of my production environment.
2. If there is issue in midnight then watchdog given me exact context on where is the failure and which all microservices were involved along with CPU and RAM usage of given period.

4. If there is vulnerability in the production then it scan and report.
5. If someone is trying to hijack the system then I can block those IPs.
6. Datadog detects unusual activities and reports it.
7. We have configured reports which get sends daily at 9AM to see previous day statics for review purpose so we are proactive if there are any issues.

Very useful custom matrics
Fair point about the open metrics integration. All metrics collected by that specific "integration" are considered custom. There are many ways to collect custom metrics. Through a open metrics endpoint, collecting metrics from logs, metrics from traces, custom check, or submitting metrics directly to the agent.
Using Datadog for Log Managment
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to have tedious task like Log Managment be dealt with, in an efficient way. Ease of use and ease of Integration is a big plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost is a major drawback. While it might be justifiable for large enterprises with significant budgets, for small to medium-sized businesses or startups, the cost can be prohibitive. The charges accumulate quickly, especially as you add more hosts and services.
