Datadog is a great monitoring and observability tool
What do you like best about the product?
Is a tool that provides many services like infrastructure monitoring, logging, database monitoring, etc. The great about this is that all services are interconnected, so when a problem ocuurs in your systems you can configure Datadog to have end 2 end visibility of your platform, helping the engineers to debug and find problems easy and fast enough.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the ui is very overwhelming, specially at the beginning, so many buttons and features makes the platform very complex to use, so the leraning curve is a bit hard at the beginnning, once you learn to use it is really simple and intuitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The monitoring and alerting systems we have in AWS and GCP are good to identify problems, but when it comes to review an end 2 end problem that there is no clue when the error is happening, datadog is providing the tools to follow step by step with full visibility of our systems. This is increasing the productivity of the engineering team a lot. We are right now finalizing our trial version but I can tell that not even getting the full potentil of it yet, is really promising what we achieved in just a few weeks. Very excited of what is coming with the new discoveries of this platform features
Amazing UX
What do you like best about the product?
The user experience of DataDog is amazing. The granuality and flexibility of filters and charts makes it easy to quickly sift through large amounts of data and find what you need. This is especially useful when trying to quickly troubleshoot an incidents.
What do you dislike about the product?
One annoying thing about DataDog is working with IoC configurations that are defined in Terraform.
It's tough to make changes to your configurations because you need to deploy them in order to see if you did it correctly. It's also not possible to lock down resources defined with IoC, so sometimes people will edit something via the web UI that was conficuged in Terraform and then their changes will get reverted when Terraform re-deploys and they won't know why.

One Stop Solution (360 degree Monitoring)
What do you like best about the product?
Ecosystem and integration!
Effective communication between different Datadog products, such as APM and Infrastructure, shows detailed traces that I can drill down into to pinpoint the issue.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a need for more improvements and features in the Datadog security lineup. A centralized SCA and SAST is lacking. Additionally, easier integration with MS Teams and other third-party software is necessary.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. At one glance I can see status of my production environment.
2. If there is issue in midnight then watchdog given me exact context on where is the failure and which all microservices were involved along with CPU and RAM usage of given period.
3. If there is crash for mobile application then it directly reports and create errors error tracking which I can assign it to team.
4. If there is vulnerability in the production then it scan and report.
5. If someone is trying to hijack the system then I can block those IPs.
6. Datadog detects unusual activities and reports it.
7. We have configured reports which get sends daily at 9AM to see previous day statics for review purpose so we are proactive if there are any issues.

Very useful custom matrics
Fair point about the open metrics integration. All metrics collected by that specific "integration" are considered custom. There are many ways to collect custom metrics. Through a open metrics endpoint, collecting metrics from logs, metrics from traces, custom check, or submitting metrics directly to the agent.
Using Datadog for Log Managment
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to have tedious task like Log Managment be dealt with, in an efficient way. Ease of use and ease of Integration is a big plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost is a major drawback. While it might be justifiable for large enterprises with significant budgets, for small to medium-sized businesses or startups, the cost can be prohibitive. The charges accumulate quickly, especially as you add more hosts and services.

The variety of telemetry (features) that can be pulled in results in being able to make more meaningful decisions and process improvements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime pricing/licensing can be tricky to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every month Datadog is solving new problems for us, whether it be cloud cost optimization, or continous profiling which enables us to optimize our microservices quickly.
