Datadog, an easy to setup and use counter/dashboard service
What do you like best about the product?
- Easy to setup and use in the code, a couple lines code calling Datadog library you would be able to use it as a fairly scalable and handy counter service
- Comes with UI, UI is simply designed but supports all the key functionalities that you would expect from a counter services, and to be able to create dashboard based on counters
- Has built-in alerting/notification functionality which can also be configured from the UI

What do you dislike about the product?
- Nothing in particular, but one thing is, the more data you have, the slower response Datadog service will become, when you query the service, query a specific counter, as well as when the counter contains high dimensional data, which is normal, we haven't yet tested what is the upper limit for how much data it can decently handle, but it should be enough for small to mid size company
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
use it as a handy counter service, mostly for engineering, to track query per second, system load, memory available, etc...
Easy to send metrics hard to view them
What do you like best about the product?
I find that its very easy to log errors and other metrics to Datadog but trying to view that data is not as easy.

It's hard to find the data you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Error logging, event count
really good monitoring and alerting tool

The fact that it has out-of-the-box integrations with a wide variety of platforms

Difficult to understand and configure complex alerting rules

We use DataDog to display data from within the company, and DataDog's API is well designed and easy to use. We've been able to see results quickly, which increases our ability to be more productive
Versatile tool, would love better wallboard support
What do you like best about the product?

* Dashboard functionality
* Easy sharing of dashboards
* Great integration with many services like AWS, Chef, Couchbase, JVM, HAProxy, MySQL etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
* The datadog agent eats a bit too much memory
* The front-end lets you create graphs of virtually any kind, but it's a challenge to make a TV-friendly dashboard that would be readable from distance.
* There are also issues like the user being periodically logged out or the dashboard URL being lost when datadog is down -- every now and then I have to manually come over to the computer connected to a wall TV and fix issues
* It's also annoying that I can't just convert a dashboard between a TimeBoard and a ScreenBoard - it seems like the difference is mostly in the representation, but I have to re-do the whole board if I want to display it on a big screen.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a robust, versatile solution to track a variety of metrics like number of errors, load and response times, job execution stats, db connection usage, track runs of scheduled tasks etc. Datadog allowed us to implement all of that with one tool, and in a way that we don't have to change the code to change the representation of data. It's a great tool to track the health and performance of your services.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I haven't used many alternatives, but Datadog seems like a great versatile tool. Adding new metrics and creating new dashboards is fairly easy, Datadog will do all the hard work.
I hope they implement better support for the use case of putting dashboards on a wall TV, which means:
* I want to set it and forget it. No log outs, no redirects to error or downtime pages that need manual intervention when things get back to work
* Better support for large graphs that are visible from a distance, with no application chrome visible
