Incredibly user friendly; I cant imagine developing without it
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a big fan of the time filter UI; it's incredibly straightforward and clear. Creating dashboards is very easy and intuitive. As a backend developer I can't imagine a more useful tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike about datadog is that it's very easy to have duplicate monitors or dashboards that end up double charging the company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog makes incidents and anomalies visible and obvious. Before datadog the only way of knowing there was an outage was via customer reports.
Great experience to record the logs of our automatic ML services
What do you like best about the product?
During our automatic scripts (from Machine Learning services) we send various messages to logging, which then get sent to datadog. This is both to document various steps of the data, but also to show crashes when they happen. Then from the DataDog interface we can search for production/staging services, we can search by date, we can search by key words.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have the logs from only the past 2 weeks, so we can not find earlier errors. But in general we catch the errors within 2 weeks, so this is not such a big limitation after all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Record various steps in our ML process (so we can check quality of data), but also identify if there was a crash to know at which step it found.
Then build dashboards that mesure the SLO of our services (like what % of requests were met, what computing resources were used).

Good for monitoring, helps centralize data, and reduces costs
What is our primary use case?
The solution is primarily used for better understanding the health of applications, modern environments, and many other solutions, which are the main focus of Datadog and many other monitoring tools.
With Datadog specifically, I can look at the health of the technology stack and services, and also integrate multiple metric sources, security, business data, and much more. This makes it a real software solution for centralizing data and unifying monitoring silos in one place. Datadog is like a hub - not just a monitoring software.
How has it helped my organization?
The solution primarily has helped the organization by helping us better understand the health of applications, modern environments, et cetera.
We can see the health of the technology stack and services. We can also integrate multiple metric sources, security, business data, and much more. It centralizes data and unifies monitoring in one place. It's Helping reduce costs with other solutions, and also reduces costs with teams that might waste time with manual troubleshooting.
What is most valuable?
Understanding better the health of applications, modern environments, and many other solutions, is the main focus of Datadog and many other monitoring tools.
With Datadog I can look at the health of the technology stack and services. I can also integrate multiple metric sources, security, business data, and much more. It's great for centralizing data and unifying monitoring silos.
Datadog is a hub, not just a monitoring software. The biggest value of Datadog is looking at the big picture, not only one part of it.
What needs improvement?
Datadog could have a better business analysis module.
Other vendors have specific business collections and analyses. With Datadog, I don't see much of it. It's possible to do this with custom metrics, dashboards, etc. However, none of those are business-focused - and that is what is lacking in Datadog.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for two years.
What other advice do I have?
We use the SaaS version of the product.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
