Multi-Faceted Analysis Tools
What do you like best about the product?
I like all of the sub-products that Datadog offers. Each area in Datadog could almost be a standalone software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Datadog (currently) lacks billing monitoring/alerts. While you can log into the product to see your usage and billing so far for the month, you can't set a quota/threshold or any alerts for billing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadog allows me to monitor client hosts (infrastructure monitoring) in depth. This lets me see if critical processes have stopped as well as store performance metrics.
