Comprehensive monitoring and observability
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing about Datadog is application performane monitoring and inteliigent alerting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The least helpful thing maybe its slightly complex for new user and can easily overwhelm initially due to abundance of features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its solving problems of detecting anomalies proactively and identifying any potential threat which allows teams to address those issues before they escalate into larger problem.
Monitor your infra and services easily with Datadog
What do you like best about the product?
Data Dog have very user friendly user interface and it's very easy to navigate too. You can see your service health in realtime and make sure that everything is working fine. You can also add threshhold and alerts over these metrics and send these to slack and pagerduty. Reports that datadog creates are very extensive and detailed. Using it daily help us to stay on track and know your services better.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data Dog is a really good tool but sometimes it lack detailed metrics and you can't drill down to the right granularity and there might some delays in the data refreshes too. Data Dog mobile support is not there and you are not always carryng your computer and this is something that I don't really like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog helps us to track our service and infra performance and also helps us to analyze what actually go wrong in case of service downtime. It also help us to understand our services better and datadog alterts help us to quickly recover from any failure by sending us immidiate alerts on several metrics.
Datadog: the most powerful single pane of glass for observability
What do you like best about the product?
Single pane of glass for all observability subjects, really powerful and everyone correctly tag their services.
You can integrate your runbook also and you get a great support in case of advanced use cases.

What do you dislike about the product?
The cost can be high if you are careless about your log ingestion and other things
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analyze is made easy in case of outage, to have a quick glance of the status of a service. With nice metrics and kpi you can get the most of your infrastructure and be really reactive about incidents or abnormal behaviours.
One of the best centralized monitoring tools, easy to implement.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the interface and the fact that DataDog continues to add new integrations, they support all major platforms, it is a great tool for DevOps/SRE, as well as for product engineering teams. Our team uses a number of DD features, we have invested heavily in dashboards and monitors, we have DD integrated with Slack and Pager Duty and it is a main source of notifications that drives actions within our Operations team. Datadog has many integrations for almost everything, it is easy to use if you want to set up the integration, especially for AWS and Kubernetes, it allows you to start monitoring your cloud infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like DataDog to have better Kubernetes metrics, the alert tools do not effectively handle pod terminations or scaling events. I would also like to have more advanced Kubernetes metrics, improved IaC options to configure DataDog. A bit more locked in lately, dd-trace is gaining a great monopoly on reliably collecting everything (traces, profiles, and now, Security (ASM)), I wish there were an open standard for that, or that you would release an open standard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have full visibility of the running service and the infrastructure, we use logs/tracing for historical tracking to identify new issues and overall health. Our current implementation of DD is mainly focused on monitoring and alerting for production software and critical systems in our infrastructure. With DataDog, we have an all-in-one tracking tool, especially the centralized logging that we use to analyze failures and errors in our application. It makes it easier for us to filter specific logs, on the other hand, infrastructure monitoring makes the cloud engineer's life easier.
Powerful tool for monitoring servers and applications.
What do you like best about the product?
It is an amazing central resource for administering and monitoring all of our servers and apps. The nicest thing about DataDog is that it is simple to use and offers excellent value for money. It also includes excellent support and learning tools that everyone can utilize. We monitor logs across various microservices in our architecture, and I cannot overstate the importance of debugging unhandled exceptions in production. Datadog, unlike others I've used before, has a simple-to-understand user interface. Log management is the best tool for troubleshooting because the logs are thorough and easy to read.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the integration and connection papers for setup are out of current and difficult to grasp for newcomers. You will need to contact the support team multiple times during the setting procedure. They are, nevertheless, fairly quick and eager to assist when required, It only supports apps written in Java, Python, .Net, and PHP; in the future, they should extend support for other languages to allow for greater industry adoption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main advantage we have is real-time alerting on any type of issue, which helps us control downtime and mistakes. You get total insight into apps and amazing visuals to utilize within the platform to verify everything functions as it should. We can monitor production and downstream environment logs for all of our microservices using real-time log streaming. We've also connected DataDog with Slack, so if there's an unusual rise in traffic, we'll receive an alert on our channel. The tool's documentation is great, and the ability to utilize tags to identify source and destination traffic is a big benefit for data monitoring.
