easy to monitor applications in the cloud

  • February 08, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to manage to monitor the database in the cloud or servers, also integrates several cloud software tools, company and developer ready to use, maybe my profession is easy to use and is handled very well, from the principle I liked the technology that handled the platform so good
What do you dislike about the product?
having to enter a platform to create an avatar to put in the profile picture auqnue is a different way of putting a photo should have the option of placing the normal photo that you want and not be mandatory to have to put the avatar created there are more important things to do to make an avatar to place it in the profile
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
in the cloud the information is more secure with the datadog monitoring with interactive real-time dashboards that can be customized for the specific needs of a team

What do you like best about the product?
The monitoring, visualizations and aggregation with our aws integration worked out pretty well for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
The license is quite expensive, could have been better for Azure integration and features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used this for monitoring the traffic within our AWS and Azure cloud infrastructure. Integrating our stuff, the more services you integrate, the more benefit you get out of this tool.

Datadog as Perfect monitoring tool.

  • February 09, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Perfect monitoring tool.
You can monitor your infrastructure as on premise as in the cloud by monitoring performance counters of different applications and collecting information from logs.
You can monitor your infrastructure as in real time mode or just receiving alerts for example to email.
It allows you to use different ready solutions with predefined logic for to monitor even different software such as: SQL Server, MySQL and so on.
It can be integrated with different products such as slack, where you can receive different alerts and where slacks bot can perform setuped actions.
You can create different dashboards for your convenience.
What do you dislike about the product?
No suitable for all cloud services, for example if you're going to monitor your infrastructure in Azure it would be better to use Azure's Log Analytics.
This solution is not for non-experienced users and required time to learn it . Features used in free price tiers very limited for example no alert capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring premise and AWS infrastructure.
This monitoring tool can be accessed from any device from anywhere by using app or just browser thats very convenient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not suitable for all cases but can be used in some ones. If you are using Azure you can use it's native tools, but if you're going to monitor AWS or on premise infrastructure it is good choice, plus it has several pricing tiers to test and decide if it is suable for your company.

Great reliable tool for SaaS monitoring

  • January 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Reliable, easy to integrate, supports all important types of monitors and events, fast UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
When used extensively the tool contains quite a complex set of data and to understand the data properly a better user-friendlier GUI is required. My main concern is with graph presentations, time and again some alert is raised and there are multiple graphs that are presented but it is hard to understand what is the difference and sometime (due to the default selection of scale) the graph is all green despite the alert.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring a complex SaaS application.


    E-Learning

Opinionated perspective on sysops workflow

  • December 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Well integrated with other relevant cloud services, especially with Amazon Web Services. Graphs are sophisticated in a good way. Initially was talking to the salesperson who had a technical background and that helped moving the needle. Has a strong brand so we weren't worried about data becoming available to the untrusted entity.
What do you dislike about the product?
They have functionality that goes far behind graphs and analytics and probably this is where it failed for our team. Sysops couldn't easily figure it out, so there was some cultural push back. The user interface is somewhat special, probably too techie, raising adoption bar quite high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Obtained much more visibility into how applications are running and what is going on with infrastructure. Can easily answer questions like "how much memory is being utilized" or "how much storage is provisioned" and tie that to particular events coming from connected systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good service. As usual, will need to spend some time building right dashboards and right representations of what really makes sense in your case.

Graphs monitoring and alerting. We monitor application metrics and get alerts when they are our of trend
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is so-so, APM is not good enough and expesive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log analisys, alerting
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You definitely have to try it for log analysys


    Computer Software

Good product, but doesn't understand it's value

  • October 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We love Datadog. It is a great way to consume metrics from aws and alert on them and build dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model per server is very odd. In modern cloud environments, servers are usually cattle. We see the value in datadog's "free" statsd collection and data processing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring, alerts

Datadog

  • October 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Datadog gives companies the ability to bringing together data from servers, databases, tools, and services to present a unified view of an entire stack
What do you dislike about the product?
Data dog does offer a free service but it limits you to one day of retention, five hosts, and no alert capability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
datadog offers analysis capabilities that extend well beyond a traditional report set, starting with the search capability provided in the event view. Users can build queries based on a number of criteria, including the host, event priority, tag, or status which has allowed us to be more analytical in all of our approach
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog offers three pricing tiers, including a free service level that limits you to one day of retention, five hosts, and no alert capability. The Enterprise tier is required for corporations looking to monitor more than 500 hosts, and pricing is negotiated on a per-customer basis.

Most customers will likely go for the Pro service level, which costs $15 monthly per host when billed annually. Datadog Pro provides support for up to 500 hosts and offers alerting, custom metrics and events, and 13-month data retention.
