Datadog reviews

They provide great features for cloud monitoring and compatible with most of the monitors. UI is fast and support team is very responsive

It can be complex for someone who is new to monitoring systems and integration is quite difficult with other tools

Collect vital information and tracks data. The interactive dashboard helps me keep my information organized for effective use. this application monitors my data in the most efficient and easy way. The overall experience is wonderful for me and I would definitely recommend investing into this software.

I have no issues with the software so far. it's a nice application

It has amazing network monitoring and IT management features
Setup and understanding it is easy.

All smooth with Datadog. No serious concerns

Regardsless its price, Datadog is considered the best monitoring tool I ever use

A bit pricy, especially on log data ingestion, need to monitor regulerly

It is awesome for monitoring everything - I mostly used it for apps and servers. It is easy to use, customizes dashboards, and plays well with other tools. Real-time insights are a big help. It is a bit pricey, but it's worth it for the peace of mind it brings.

It can get a tad pricey when you scale up. Plus, the learning curve can be a bit steep for beginners. And, the free tier isn't as generous as some others out there. It used a lot of my computer's memory.

The breath of features you can have under Datadog is truly impressive, everything from Application, Website, Synthetic monitoring is covered under Datadog, so you have all your observability needs on one platform

Pricing, it can get really expensive monitoring on Datadog.

As a user, what I like the most is its wide set of features and functionalities that allow me to have complete visibility of my infrastructure. I can monitor and analyze metrics in real time, correlate data from different sources, track performance issues, and receive instant alerts and notifications when something is going wrong.

Setting up and customizing alerts can be a bit complex and take me a bit of time to master. The ability to adjust alert thresholds and conditions could be more intuitive and easier to understand.

The dashboards are easy to build, and his UI is very simple and easy to use.

When I searched for logs, I found that Datadog used a lot of memory on my computer and was too slow.

We now have billions of logs hitting Data Dog every month. It's a great tool for monitoring and debugging what is going on in the platform. We have alserts setup based on the logging so we are instantly notified of any issues.

Some of the JSON parsing on nested logs come out a little wonky. We overcame this by adding specific logs from our applications that we can search on.

As a non-technical QA person, I needed a tool to help automate tests without a lot of the technical aspects. Datadog allows me to build and schedule tests by clicking through the online version of our tool, making it incredibly simple. It also records what's wrong and allows me to edit the paths at any time if we ever make changes.

I wish I was able to use this same functionality for our mobile app or even for processes like account creation. Since we push our sign up through a payment portal we're unable to use Datadog in the same was there.

Datadog offers comprehensive and user-friendly monitoring, analytics, and visualization tools, enabling efficient management of complex IT infrastructures.

Pricing is on the expensive side. The documentation is too broad, adding to the complexity as a user.

Search Filter I liked the most in Datadog. We can easily find the desired data thru search parameters and on top of that we can filter out the data by specifying a date range.

In the Search filter, we have to follow specific Datadog standards. It becomes slow when data is available in large amounts.

A lot of fun for less money. Great software for monitoring kubernetes infrastructure. Very clear dashboards, monitoring is very intuitive, great to use. Setup is simple and installation of the agent on PC was seamless. Aggregate views into one clear dashboard and monitor all metrics at the same time according to various filters and parameters. Many additional features to enrich the data. User friendly.

In the time I have been using it I have not found anything that would not suit me with DataDog I have been very satisfied and it has met my expectations.

Using Datadog has been an amazing journey, the feature of providing a unified view of the entire infrastructure of the system making it easier to work on makes it amazing

I haven't encountered any deficiency using Datadog

Some of the pros of Datadog are:1. The APM feature of Datadog is quite useful.2. You can stream logs into it too.3. Its easier to look into metrics history4. Managing the downtime for various resources is simple.5. Visualization provided in the dashboard is quite intuitive.

1. JSON parsing of logs can't be done.2. It has a bit lack of proper documentation.3. Navigating to new areas in the dashboard can be a hassle.4. A bit overwhelming for newcomers.5. It has more customizations but less simplicity.

Dashboards are very nice, agents install easily and granularity can be adapted to your stack.

Is expensive, very expensive. It makes sense if you don't want to worry about where to put your data.

Ease of use, flexibility of dashboard creation and views.

Almost too many configurations make it feel overwhelming. there could be a little more documentation and guides to help point you in the right direction or have related tools in the datadog subset.

Overall observability is good, and the way all of the offerings interact is helpful.

basic APM requires code customization, which isn't the case with competing products. Documentation for anything beyond basic integration is lacking. Customer support is a bit of a bait and switch; great during eval, and bad once you've bought the product.

Being able to combine all of our analytics tools in one place makes it easy to find the right information to investigate, monitor, and resolve operational issues quickly. Combining products like logs and APM traces makes both tools even more powerful for finding and understanding problems with our applications.

If there's one drawback, it's the cost, which can become expensive for monitoring high-throughput systems or systems with a lot of hosts.

perfect tool for public cloud AWS based company with also internally using SaaS tools only ... Huge number of connectors, usable dashboards and reporting, quite nice and fast search in logs which is good for incident/security incident investigation

we integrate yet with another tooling like Laceworks ... I think one tool can't fit all use cases

Diligence, details and deep of monitoring all detail.

capturing every single details, validity of details and more importantly capability to monitor everything!!!

It is simple to setup and maintain. Plus the UI is really easy to understand.

Polling period of the alerts are not short enough. The lowest is every 5 minutes but if a site is down, 5 minutes is too long to wait to see if it is down.

Datadog is on of the best observability tools. Well integrated in modern cloud infrastructure and applications

I would say the cost and cost management. From a FinOps perspective they can do better.
