Awesome application.
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboards of each AWS service, the way they display the graphs, the number of metrics collected by the agent, also the number of features to monitor AWS resources allow you to monitor every single detail in your architecture.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a little bit hard to start understanding the concept of datadog and how it works, also the cost of the services. And if possible to restructure the documentation, set proper title, put real case examples cause I did lost everytime so I am working on my own documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best thing that helps is the logs section, the way DataDog sectioned the logs allows you to pinpoint and spot any abnormal behavior behind high CPU and memory usage. In addition, to that the Database performance and especailly the RDS slow queries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog is one of the most sophisticated tools to monitor your cloud services, and it gives you a brief overview of your architecture and facilitate your troubleshooting process from the plenty of features that helps you.
