Helps to set up alerts and thresholds to monitor real-time metrics
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Integrating Datadog with other platforms has made our monitoring processes a bit easier. It's not super simple, but it's manageable.
What needs improvement?
For three to four months, we have been experiencing real-time delays. For example, if we're monitoring incoming traffic, the real-time status should be displayed up to a certain point. However, due to delays or issues with Datadog, the real-time data might only be updated at an earlier time. We are experiencing consistent delays in data updates from Datadog, with the most recent data often being delayed by about an hour. This issue has been ongoing for the past four months.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for a year.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
My company has 50 users for Datadog.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's deployment is difficult and time-consuming.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool is open-source.
What other advice do I have?
If you're thinking about using Datadog for the first time, I suggest getting some basic training in data operations. It'll help you navigate Datadog more easily.
Learning it for the first time is not overly difficult, but it's also not very easy.
I would rate the tool a seven out of ten. While it's a useful tool, we've experienced some issues that haven't been resolved yet. Additionally, setting up dashboards and utilizing all the features requires some training.

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.

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.
