worked with datadog using its postgres monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use cloud based web app, pretty simple integration into your environment, most of the basic postgres metrics are obtained
What do you dislike about the product?
cloud based only, wished it ran on-premise
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
datadog is easy to recommend to customers that want to run this sort of metrics/monitoring on the cloud in a pay-as-you-go service, easy to use, great user interface

Easy to gather monitoring, lots of options
What do you like best about the product?
I like that all of the data is collected into one place and easily searched, tagged, and commented on. As a less-informed user of some of the more down-to-the-metal services, it's easy to visualize each service and its health. The social-like feed of events is also helpful to see what's happening in your system, and in what order.
Custom dashboards are also nice to see the systems you interact with most.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there is an overwhelming amount of information to search through in order to start using the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can see the health of our systems easily from one centralized location, share comments, and integrate into the chat service we already use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely set up a custom dashboard.
A nice way to gather all data
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog has a nice UX. It's easy to pick up integration and start a configuration for your apps or services. Also, the support is really cool: you got an email on a regular basis from the Datadog team checking up if everything is ok. This is the kind of proactive support I like.
What do you dislike about the product?
During my trial, the web interface evolved completely. There was no new on-boarding, which was pretty confusing to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to monitor several applications from my different providers. Datadog helped me to have a better vision across other triggers from different services.
Good but too much hassle
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboard and metrics are pretty ok.
What do you dislike about the product?
Agent installation is kind of a overhead. Unlike newrelic which integrates very easily as part of the deployment itself, here we need to install stuff manually / per machine. Moreover the agent file is huge.
The installation didn't went smooth for the first time.
Each integration should be done specifically. There is not single point of installation. too much hassle.

I am monitoring the application performance and errors coming up on production environment, being aware of the bottle necks and improvements points to do in the code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If price is the issue, you can go for it. it's an OK value of money. no more than that.
Datadog review
What do you like best about the product?
The cluster visualization is amazing ! Easy to integrate with Amazon Web Services like Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud ( EC2 ) , Amazon Simple Storage Service ( S3 ) , Amazon Relational Database Service ( RDS ) , Amazon RedShift , etc .
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not have any big problems with the Datadog . Easy to set up , easy to use .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring our cloud infrastructure .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Free free to setup on top of your infrastructure and monitor your cloud much easier and in a very understandable way .
I wish Datadog were available in the good old sysadmin days. It's just amazing.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to get up and running in moments was a key element in choosing the service, as well as the ability to have the system dynamically adapt graphs and alerts based on other criteria than hostnames, such as aggregating counts across datacenters, system types, or any other arbitrary dimension that made sense to our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
One negative mentioned was if you already have your apps instrumented with statsd then there is a little catching up to be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traditionally there are systems that concern themselves with a particular set of metrics or services, and rarely lend themselves to being used by more than a single team (ops vs dev). Each team may end up using something that works for them, and getting cross-team correlation becomes that much harder.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In my progress towards disposable infrastructure the ability to forge ahead with getting the work done, instead of struggling with reconfiguring the monitoring systems, graphs, deployment methods, and other parts of what are now complex ecosystems of services, has been invaluable.
A very user-friendly product
What do you like best about the product?
It is really easy to setup, the UI is clean and very user-friendly. If you have been using a StatsD / Grafana setup you will be delighted by the ease of use.
You can also set alerts that are triggered when a metric reach a certain value which is really useful.
There are also lots of plugins to automatically fetch metrics from databases, message queues, CPU, etc.
Setting up all these services on you own would be very time-consuming.

What do you dislike about the product?
Once we migrated all our servers to an other host. Due to the migration, we ended up paying twice the price for two or three month as we forgot to disable the Datadog agents on our old servers.
So be careful and ask for information if you are hosting your applications on cloud servers and are using lots of short-time instances, it might be very expensive.
Also the documentation states that only 100 metrics are allowed per host, which can be very low depending on the type and number of applications running on your hosts.
In practice, we where sending more than 100 metrics per host and did not have any issues.
The UI is very good. The only thing was that it was not very convenient to change the scale of the vertical axis of a graph.
