What do you dislike about the product?
* The datadog agent eats a bit too much memory
* The front-end lets you create graphs of virtually any kind, but it's a challenge to make a TV-friendly dashboard that would be readable from distance.
* There are also issues like the user being periodically logged out or the dashboard URL being lost when datadog is down -- every now and then I have to manually come over to the computer connected to a wall TV and fix issues
* It's also annoying that I can't just convert a dashboard between a TimeBoard and a ScreenBoard - it seems like the difference is mostly in the representation, but I have to re-do the whole board if I want to display it on a big screen.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a robust, versatile solution to track a variety of metrics like number of errors, load and response times, job execution stats, db connection usage, track runs of scheduled tasks etc. Datadog allowed us to implement all of that with one tool, and in a way that we don't have to change the code to change the representation of data. It's a great tool to track the health and performance of your services.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I haven't used many alternatives, but Datadog seems like a great versatile tool. Adding new metrics and creating new dashboards is fairly easy, Datadog will do all the hard work.
I hope they implement better support for the use case of putting dashboards on a wall TV, which means:
* I want to set it and forget it. No log outs, no redirects to error or downtime pages that need manual intervention when things get back to work
* Better support for large graphs that are visible from a distance, with no application chrome visible

DataDog review
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to configure and report to. Also, very easy to set up dashboards and see visualisation of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow real-time updating of visualisation. There's at least a 20 sec lag between reporting of a metric and updating the graph/metric count on the dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reports on service activity, traffic patterns, extremely convenient to track website health, type and count of requests made, etc.
Lots of high level insight, not much to drill down into
What do you like best about the product?
- The daily digest emails
- The quick systems overview
- Database performance overview

What do you dislike about the product?
- Inability to get more context for a particular event to drill down into.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Website monitoring and consolidation of other monitoring services into one unified platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You still may need to rely on other data sources once you've integrated everything into Datadog.
Datadog integrates with the right stuff
What do you like best about the product?
all the integrations are great - even turned me on to new services we could use
What do you dislike about the product?
The linux service is a pain to use, always having to check the manual for how to do anything, even like what its called.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
devops monitoring
Recommendations to others considering the product:
go for it!
Been using Datadog for almost 2 years monitoring at scale APIs and microservices
What do you like best about the product?
Simple dashboards are really easy to setup but also powerful. We're able to easily monitor many parts of our infrastructure with a few easy integrations using already built Datadog agents. Alerting is also great and easy to setup for simple use cases
What do you dislike about the product?
The minute you get into more complicated scenarios the language used to write more complicated queries the documentation is not so great. From my personal experience I've quite a bit of trouble finding documentation even on functions like `rollup` I end up using quite often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring and alerting web applications and APIs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you understand the difference between metrics as count or as rate.
Create monitors after any downtime you experience.

Datadog review
What do you like best about the product?
The train and user interface is relatively simple and easy to use. Integration is also just a drop in. The daemon is relatively lightweight
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to convince people to use it over New Relic, but that's a simple matter of brand recognition. The dashboards could be more customizable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly monitoring. It's done a decent job of hooking into other monitoring systems and firing alerts. It's been a good early warning system from time to time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good for APM but I wouldn't try to use it for other dashboards
Datadog provides instance live metrics across a whole stack.
What do you like best about the product?
The available integrations are amazing and really easy to setup. Creating a dashboard to share with your team so you can see instantly see how things are perform (even without having to log in). Also, the dashboards look great on a large TV screen.
What do you dislike about the product?
Writing your own integrations isn't difficult but is time consuming. Sometimes it takes awhile to come up with the right formula for a widget that displays the information you want.
It'd be nice if there was a better way to look at data/dashboards on a mobile device.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like with other services we use, speed and reliability are important to us. Using tools like datadog allow us to constantly monitor our servers without having to log into them.
