An all in one solution for metrics, logs, and infrastructure success for your DevOps team.

  • June 29, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
It is so hard to narrow down which features I love the best. This is because no matter what you need from logs to engineering, to security, to infrastructure, there is not 1 team in an organization that can benefit from this product. Datadog is able to import your entire company into metrics, monitors, and triggers to mitigate any issues and to respond as soon as possible to issues that arise. Their host map feature is a dream come true. You can see which EC2 instances in AWS are communicating with each other and how much traffic and what traffic is communicating through each instance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The feature I disliked at first was that there was no role-based access control which was a nightmare for security. But they just released a beta feature to resolve this!

I think Datadog has come a long way over the years.

One huge problem I have come into is as their product changes their documentation is out of date at times and does not have current configurations for things which lead you having to reach out to support for assistance with resolving issues or setting up key integrations through your organization. I understand there are growing pains with any application but I wish there was an easy way to report outdated documents for them to update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Datadog, because we can ingest all-out server logs, application logs, docker logs, and metrics we are able to only have to go to one UI for a nonstop shop of information to troubleshoot and resolve issues as they arise.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want ease of access when it comes to a monitoring application. Datadog is the tool you want.

What do you like best about the product?
We are using the dashboards for databases monitoring and some cloud integration. It's easy to set up, alerting is also easy to set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there is a delay before the metrics shows up on the dashboards, which can be up to 5 min and is very important during critical incidents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are monitoring databases in Datadog, with some alerting. It helps a lot to understand when there is degraded performances.

I'm a borderline fanboy at this point

What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is building out a platform that covers not only all logging and monitoring needs, but also integrates them together nicely. The interface has a consistent feel, and the support staff is generally well-above averagee.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a bit on thee pricey side in some areas -- there are a lot of competitive open-source solutions but I'm thankfully at a business that allows us to get tools like this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are leveraging Datadog for general metrics, APM, and as of recently... logs. The ability to view associations between these pillars is a great benefit that we didn't have when using separate tools.

What do you like best about the product?
We use Azure which Datadog complies with which is beneficial for us. Very good at providing/displaying IT analysis for Management to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is a little technical to use so IT still need to do a lot of the leg work when using this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infrastructure monitoring/reporting for management as well as a central location for IT see the full scope of our networking setup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very good tool for network monitoring and data analysis for management.

All your Infra And applications have a single complete monitoring tool.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What we liked best was its seamless integration with the AWS services and the visibility of logs and traces of our applications on the dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Datadog as such doesn't have something to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Datadog for our product applications in my organization to monitor our AWS infrastructure and APM. We had a seamless integration with AWS out of the box and an excellent central dashboard for monitoring all in one place. We can also split relevant information into multiple dashboards, of course. Our GoLang and Java products are available, and we track Datadog's APM services for their quality.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take it only. You need Datadog to understand and infer information if your device produces data. The best of it.

What do you like best about the product?
Has many integrations with different cloud providers and technologies / applications out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a small problem installing DSC (not DataDog website documentation) on Azure windows domain controllers in place (using Azure extension).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to download with many platforms and incorporate. Based on the kit you will quickly begin to track your system a good series of key metrics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Conduct a longer POC to make sure all integration scenarios are covered.

Datadog do not hesitate to use it

What do you like best about the product?
It does a good job in managing records with full search, has a simple interface, offers a wide variety of integrations with third-party services and systems, easy to configure and use
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no reduction in delays in the response time of the monitoring agent, additional reporting capabilities are missing, too, there is no custom query language that can be useful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DataDog is currently being used by Wayfair's Monitoring, Network Operations and Critical Incidents teams to provide a variety of data to provision, manage and maintain existing infrastructure for sites and applications, s a critical input on how these teams identify in the company
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We used Datadog for Hystrix metric shipments of various services there and configured several monitors and alerts that alert you to any underlying problem before a major failure. It's an excellent choice for records management, APM and system. I recommend

Datadog as our APM

  • October 08, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is a complex software, but after using it for a while, you will notice you always have to do the same process, so it becomes easier and you can master it within time. The interface is simple and the visuals are clean, something that's really helpful to address most of our technical needs. It allows for customization of the dashboards, so you can make them more suitable for yourself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Datadog is a bit complicated at first. The Setup and configuration are hard to do correctly, so you may need the help of a specialist to do this
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We deployed Datadog as our APM and it has worked out just great. Among several options of similar software, we decided to pick Datadog because it provided the best general view of our environment and our system's performance. Datadog works very good by itself, but we decided to integrate it with ServiceNow, and it was even better. Our newest employees in the IT department usually learn and adapt to Datadog's services quickly and without complications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Datadog for medium size businesses that have to handle with complex software and many systems to be managed. It could work good for bigger companies as well, but they could get stuck at some point, as Datadog has its limitations, especially if it has to handle with many computers. And for smaller companies, some of its biggest features could be wasted.
