Excellent monitoring and operational metrics for cloud and containerized applications
What do you like best about the product?
Highly performant visualizations and metric math. Very cost effective for their metric service.
What do you dislike about the product?
Logs service is expensive, although reasonably so. Somewhat frequent issues with metric ingest.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Operations monitoring and application performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's easy to do a detailed evaluation for free or nearly so.

Datadog has proven invaluable
What do you like best about the product?
The Datadog team keeps building new features that we need before we even know we need them! They are so quick to add features and fix bugs that we report.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a dislike but their APM and logging still lag behind some of the more mature products out there. They are rapidly improving both though and they're very much usable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building monitors and alerting on what matters rather than just alerting on any issues that arise. It's allowed our NOC to be more efficient in responding to critical events by filtering out the noise. It also provides a detailed yet simple view for non-engineer folks to see what's going on throughout our network.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely do a POC with Datadog. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to on-board employees and get them building monitors and dashboards. It's better than what you're using for monitoring and is rapidly becoming a great logging and APM solution.
A very powerful APM
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is used by multiple teams in our company to constantly monitor the infrastructure and make sure that the systems are working smoothly.
Datadog offers a simple and very easy to use interface which makes it easy for us to train the new team members on the tool.
Datadog also offers a vast variety of integration with third party tool which makes it easy for us to build custom reports and alerts.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. The initial deployment of the tool can be a little challenging especially if you have not used the tool before.
2. The delays in the monitoring agents can be reduced as sometimes it is very critical to receive the alerts in real time and delays can lead to system failures.
3. The pricing of the tool is also a bit high as compared to other APM's.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog is used to constantly monitor all the system resources and raise alarm if any resource is not working as expected
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog can be really helpful if you want to build a alerting and monitoring system for your resources.
Sandeep Datadog Review
What do you like best about the product?
The monitoring, visualizations and aggregation with our aws integration worked out pretty well for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
The license is quite expensive, could have been better for Azure integration and features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used this for monitoring the traffic within our AWS and Azure cloud infrastructure. Integrating our stuff, the more services you integrate, the more benefit you get out of this tool.
My Experience with Datadog Cloud Based Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Instant online chat support rather than waiting days for a return call. I also like that it is a java free web based program and that navigating the monitors via notification links is easy. Integration with an internal slack support channel helps organize monitoring into one channel rather than being mixed with email.
What do you dislike about the product?
For IP monitoring the IP has to be live to do the setup, would prefer if the setup could be done without the monitor being online yet but there is also an advantage to making sure it is up as part of the setup so that feature is both a like and dislike. We have had issues with monitors getting stuck and having to be restarted to clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notification of devices that need network connectivity being offline, disk space, and memory usage. Not having to deal with java and being able to edit my own monitors rather than having a system administrator exclusively responsible to manage monitors results in more timely monitoring and less missed setups.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their support is great, do not hesitate to pop up a chat any time you have a question. I was not involved in the actual pricing so I cannot speak to cost but I know the evaluation team would have taken it being affordable.
Monitor All The Things
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog's myriad integrations make it useful for monitoring just about any web stack you can imagine.
What do you dislike about the product?
The permissions model for dashboards make it a free-for-all. You have two choices, admin or unprotected. If the dashboards are unprotected, anyone can edit them. In larger team environments where users have varying levels of skill and a different view of which metrics are important, this can create a mess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog provides visibility into our system performance by allowing us to visualize and monitor telemetry and metrics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I really do like this product. If you have a large number of servers, it can get expensive compared to an open source solution. However, managing an OSS solution that provides all of what Datadog can will be time-intensive. Datadog just works.
Lots of integrations to work with and monitor
What do you like best about the product?
Integrations and quick follow up from Datadog team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The features you get by subscribing to the higher tiers. But haven't used is for long.

monitoring
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it and implement.
Logging, metrics and alerting all in one package
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to aggregate metrics to pull out outliers across a large group of processes/instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to drill down from metrics to logs especially when looking at aggregate groups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of web services hosted in AWS, troubleshooting and log spelunking
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lots of features, but this produces a more complex UI and steeper learning curve
Efficient performance monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, simple installation, great features which allow you to observe variety of metrics and extract critical observations about system performance. CPU monitoring is very useful. Creating graphs and metric customization is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
User interface is technical, not a naive user's playground. Learning the basics can be time-consuming at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance monitoring, system analysis, and visual reporting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog is highly efficient once the users get to know how to work the app. Its visualization tools and reporting metrics are a must for any organization.

- Price. It's not cheap

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Graphite as a monitoring tool. We had constant performance problems and system crashes. We started using Datadog and managed to obtain more detailed graphics, better dashboards, and a more reliable monitoring system.

Use the trial version, install some agents in your servers, enjoy
