Datadog: enterprise-grade monitoring.

9 / 10

What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?

By using Datadog as the monitoring tool for infrastructure services like disk, CPU, RAM, uptime, network IN and application metrics like service availability, our team became more effective at locating and resolving problems. As I installed Datadog with SNOW, it enabled me to prioritize the job by allowing me to see all infra level and application level consumptions through monitors. Whenever the threshold is surpassed, I would receive an email and a ticket.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

For the past year plus, I have been using datadog. It is a flexible tool that can be used for event recording, monitoring network statistics, identifying security risks, and monitoring application performance. It has a large selection of dashboards that can be customized, and there are several third party interfaces available. When browsing through logs, it is SO MUCH FASTER, CLEANER, and EASIER.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The UI for creating dashboards can occasionally be unnecessarily complicated and awkward. The only recommendation I would offer is to make datadog's user interface (UI) better because it may occasionally be confusing. It would also be beneficial if users had easier access to the documentation on the use of datadog.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Datadog stands out in the cloud and application monitoring area if you're looking for simplicity of access when it comes to a monitoring application because of how quickly it can enable a broad range of integrations. simple setup and one tool for full monitoring.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable

  • Unique Features

Good product, requires some tweaks

What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?

I've been using several such platforms over my career and the switching from one to another usually bumps into the test of "how fast can you start using it as an end-user". Datadog has a good UX and is quite intuitive, almost no training is required to start using it.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

As mentioned above - the ease-of-use is the biggest advantage

What do you dislike most about this product?

We had to format all our logs differently, since when there were errors - you got each row of the error in a separate row in Datadog as if they are not related. In the previous platform we used, the entire "stack trace" of the error would appear as one group, which was far more convenient for debugging and searching.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Check your logs structure before committing, to understand if it answers your needs. Other than that the software is great

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy

Cons

  • Less Efficient Service
  • Less Effective Service
