Datadog is a great tool for multi-environment log aggregation
What do you like best about the product?
Grat User Interface (UI), easy to set up and configure, and plenty of integrations with cloud and on-prem solutions. Granular control over the ingested data. Flexible licensing scheme.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data normalization and unstructured log ingestion require time and effort. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is not available out of the box and requires a ticket to the Support team. Despite RBAC, access granularity is hard to achieve, especially in an organization with small Site Reliability Engineering teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog is excellent at dashboarding, alerts and notifications. Alerts can be sent to messaging tools like Slack, MS Teams, SMS as well as email. It is easy to set up and delegate to other team members. Compared to the competition, I think Datadog has the lowest Return Of Investment (ROI) score.

Nothing as such. of course there are things that could be different, but these dislikes are nowhere near with the positives. Maybe alerting and monitoring time to alert could be shorter.

Man's Best Friend
What do you like best about the product?
Log management and visualizations without having to write code. Data Dog is the fastest way to aggregate all your log management into on centralized view. Other products take time and glue code to try and scratch the surface of Data Dogs value.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is with how easy it is to use you can get out of hand and drive the cost up right away. Lucky they have come out with monitors and easy ways to dial back to meet your budget.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized log aggregation and application production monitoring. Out of the box you can setup an excellent monitoring and alerting system on your cloud based product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go install Prometheus and Grafana to understand how much work it is prior to testing Data Dog.
