Great monitoring platform

  • December 29, 2018

A very powerful APM

  • December 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

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.

Monitor All The Things

  • December 04, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

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.

Efficient performance monitoring tool

  • November 07, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

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.

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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the trial version, install some agents in your servers, enjoy
