It is a simpler tool than say LogEntries, which required a more convoluted way to find logs and export options were horrible. Data dog has quick key word searches to help get us to the errors fast.

Tool is intuitive and super simple to get started

What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?
Datadog were bit early (than others) to support multi-product dashboards. Naturally it's inch more smoother to to the initial set up. You can launch your first dashboard really quickly in no time as most of the cloud handshakes are pretty intuitive and semi automated.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I like most about DD is you can have a single dashboard for a set of databases from different zones, VPCs, product lines etc at a single page and compare them with filters for last 1 year historical data. That's a great feature to start your trend analysis like data growth, traffic analysis etc.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Even though the tool is intuitive their documentations are never upto date despite multiple concerns raised in various review platforms. Its because of the constant change and evolution the product is going through, but one got to keep up to be at the top.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
For a quick start for your infrastructure monitoring DD would be a good choice. Some of the real time data pulling can be tedious if you have large size distributed infrastructure, but it's worth it once initial set up is done.
