datadog marketplace 100% leaders
What do you like best about the product?
System stats, software stats, API endpoints, events, dashboards, alerts, mobile apps, all in one. Datadog has a lot of pre-built solutions that you can implement in your infrastructure and if you will not find suitable solution you can build your own, great for AWS monitoring. Good customer support and documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of Azure monitoring tools, Datadog is very complex in building your own solutions. A bit too expensive for it`s functionality,Not very good for Azure if you are going to use marketplace solutions. Most of these are made for AWS and you will have to make something similar by yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contact helpdesk prior to build your own solutions, maybe you just didn`t find the same on marketplace,Monitoring of systems and services for production SaaS applications. It helps us discover issues both before and after they happen, and we use the dashboards both for system status and for business level dashboarding.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Mostly AWS monitoring, it can done something in Azure, but choise of solutions is very limited

Easy way to monitor your entire infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it integrates with other tools. Any infrastructure we make in AWS will show up in Datadog with metrics to alert on. The dashboards are also very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the agent sometimes will take longer than expected to send metrics to Datadog.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to monitor all of our infrastructure with alerts and Datadog fit our needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it!
Datadog has proven invaluable
What do you like best about the product?
The Datadog team keeps building new features that we need before we even know we need them! They are so quick to add features and fix bugs that we report.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a dislike but their APM and logging still lag behind some of the more mature products out there. They are rapidly improving both though and they're very much usable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building monitors and alerting on what matters rather than just alerting on any issues that arise. It's allowed our NOC to be more efficient in responding to critical events by filtering out the noise. It also provides a detailed yet simple view for non-engineer folks to see what's going on throughout our network.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely do a POC with Datadog. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to on-board employees and get them building monitors and dashboards. It's better than what you're using for monitoring and is rapidly becoming a great logging and APM solution.
My Experience with Datadog Cloud Based Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Instant online chat support rather than waiting days for a return call. I also like that it is a java free web based program and that navigating the monitors via notification links is easy. Integration with an internal slack support channel helps organize monitoring into one channel rather than being mixed with email.
What do you dislike about the product?
For IP monitoring the IP has to be live to do the setup, would prefer if the setup could be done without the monitor being online yet but there is also an advantage to making sure it is up as part of the setup so that feature is both a like and dislike. We have had issues with monitors getting stuck and having to be restarted to clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notification of devices that need network connectivity being offline, disk space, and memory usage. Not having to deal with java and being able to edit my own monitors rather than having a system administrator exclusively responsible to manage monitors results in more timely monitoring and less missed setups.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their support is great, do not hesitate to pop up a chat any time you have a question. I was not involved in the actual pricing so I cannot speak to cost but I know the evaluation team would have taken it being affordable.
Logging, metrics and alerting all in one package
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to aggregate metrics to pull out outliers across a large group of processes/instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to drill down from metrics to logs especially when looking at aggregate groups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of web services hosted in AWS, troubleshooting and log spelunking
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lots of features, but this produces a more complex UI and steeper learning curve
Simple to Deploy Tools
What do you like best about the product?
I liked how easy it was to get my on-prem and AWS systems into the same dashboard and system.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me, I would have liked to seen pricing based on data points ingested, not just node count. This can cause things to get pricey pretty fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had zero metric insights into our AWS systems. And internally, things like Zabbix and Nagios require a lot of work for little change. We were able to correlate AWS data to onsite date. In a simple, visual dashboard.
Great Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The integration with Amazon. We can easily see our AWS performance, set up alerts, and easily respond to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's really hard to think of anything we don't like. Rewriting all of our alerts was painful, but we'd get that switching to any other tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to quickly alert on and respond to issues with our infrastructure.
Intuitive, useful software at a reasonable price
What do you like best about the product?
I most like the fact that I have nearly complete control of what and how I monitor my infrastructure, but am not tasked with maintaining the monitoring infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some parts of the featureset are robust yet not intuitive. I would ideally like some cycles to be spent polishing those up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The largest benefit we reap is having a powerful suite of monitoring tools without having to maintain additional servers or troubleshoot connectivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're thinking about using it, contact Datadog customer relations. They will set you up with a free trial, and answer any questions you might have!
