single stop for debugging, viewing logs, monitoring your applications
What do you like best about the product?
I use to use prometheus, zipkin, and kibana to debug through issues for any environment other than local, and it was honestly confusing and annoying to go through each tool to figure out what the issue was with an application. DataDog is SO nice when it comes to this. It's basically all three applications merged into one, but better, faster, cleaner, and SO MUCH easier when looking through logs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think originally there was a mini learning curve because there are a lot of tools in DataDog, but it was very easy to pick up. Nothing you can't learn from googling and watching a quick youtube video.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When it comes to figuring out bugs, why something is failing, DataDog is my go-to tool. Things I never understood with Zipkin made much more sense with DataDog -- it's very user-friendly. It's quick to filter a service or specific services, environments, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I definitely recommend using DataDog -- much easier to debug through issues for any environment.

Great Monitoring Service
What do you like best about the product?
I love the customizability of the DataDog's graphs and monitors and how easy it is to create those graphics and monitors on metrics from your application. There is a lot of cross functional capability, for example, my team uses spring and there's so much built in to connect everything together and not worry about it. I also love the ability to be able to analyze monitors before you create them by seeing the prior history.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike is the autocomplete feature of the functions for monitors and graphs. I can get to almost the end of a variable name and need to switch tabs to see the full name and the autocomplete feature will clear out my changes. I do enjoy that it only shows options that are available but I would prefer if it didn't try to fit one of those options every time I clicked out of the textbox.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to monitor our application and view analytics. The graphs makes it very easy to diagnose an issue once a monitor goes off and we can debug our application from there. It is a very integral part of our application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think the search feature is underrated. If your organization is large enough any graph or monitor you want to create can be based on another one that exists it's very easy to find those through the search feature.
Easy to Integrate with Interactive Dashboards and Alerts.
What do you like best about the product?
DataDog tool is very useful if we have multiple applications and we are exposing REST endpoints to clients.
It's very Easy to Integrate with all the applications to create Interactive custom Dashboards and Alerts. These Dashboards help us analyze the data and the real-time alerts are a boon in the production environment. We can also Integrate it with Splunk and PagerDuty for alerts.

What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if we are provided with multiple options to view the timings. Since my client is from U.S and I am working are working in a different timezone. Sometimes the Database error timing and the DataDog Dashboard timing are not in sync, and DataDog Dashboard timing is a bit delayed. Not sure if it's a configuration issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With DataDog we are monitoring all the RestEndpoint and its behavior. We get to know which endpoint of an application is been called the most and if there is any break in any of the Endpoints then we are alerted as per the threshold value configured.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's very easy to integrate DataDog. Moreover, the support team is also very helpful if we are getting stuck in any of the application configurations the team is always there to clear our confusion and give their guidance.
log monitoring tool for easy access
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use the tool, provides errors and metrics in real-time

High performance APM with amazing Anomaly detection
What do you like best about the product?
We found Datadogs APM integration to be extremely easy to integrate into our GO code base. The traces and anomaly detection were extremely valuable for debugging issues. We also found their platform to be highly performant and able to handle anything we threw at it. We were generating billions of traces during our early production phase.
What do you dislike about the product?
No default alerts. Some dashboard metrics need work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alerts and APM traces allowed us to solve any edge cases in our GO code base quickly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't waste your companies precious time setting up in-house monitoring services. Leverage Datadog so you can focus on the core competency of your business.
Datadog: Great tool for monitoring cloud based infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog makes it easy to do monitoring and even setup alerts, also has a great APM.
Datadog simplifies doing APM + monitoring + alerts with one product instead of possibly using two software as a service tools plus a self hosted monitoring stack.

What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation could be better, but that being said the documentation covers a very broad set of topics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saves time and money to do certain things that would be very time consuming with for example a roll your own ELK stack.
An all in one solution for metrics, logs, and infrastructure success for your DevOps team.
What do you like best about the product?
It is so hard to narrow down which features I love the best. This is because no matter what you need from logs to engineering, to security, to infrastructure, there is not 1 team in an organization that can benefit from this product. Datadog is able to import your entire company into metrics, monitors, and triggers to mitigate any issues and to respond as soon as possible to issues that arise. Their host map feature is a dream come true. You can see which EC2 instances in AWS are communicating with each other and how much traffic and what traffic is communicating through each instance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The feature I disliked at first was that there was no role-based access control which was a nightmare for security. But they just released a beta feature to resolve this!
I think Datadog has come a long way over the years.
One huge problem I have come into is as their product changes their documentation is out of date at times and does not have current configurations for things which lead you having to reach out to support for assistance with resolving issues or setting up key integrations through your organization. I understand there are growing pains with any application but I wish there was an easy way to report outdated documents for them to update.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Datadog, because we can ingest all-out server logs, application logs, docker logs, and metrics we are able to only have to go to one UI for a nonstop shop of information to troubleshoot and resolve issues as they arise.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want ease of access when it comes to a monitoring application. Datadog is the tool you want.
