Product vs price: the monitoring works wells
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?
One platform for everything: infrastructure, application performance (APM), logs, user monitoring, synthetic tests and security all live in one tool. Shared tags tie them together, so you can jump from a slow page to the trace to the log line without switching tools. Most competitors are stronger in one area but less connected across all of them.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
most likely the dashboards: how quickly you can see what’s going on across your systems in one place.
What do you dislike most about this product?
bills that are hard to predict with usage-based pricing, every new feature being a separate paid product, or costs climbing as you add more hosts and logs
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Start small: begin with the core monitoring you need, then add products one at a time once you see the value.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Helps Innovate
Cons
- Less Generous
- Charges for Enhancements
- Vendor Friendly Policies
