Amazing Product... for power users
What do you like best about the product?
I think Datadog is a must if you want to make sure that your product is performant and reliable. The fact that we can find and fix bugs before our users ever interact with our users is such a crazy advantage. The amount of helpful data that datadog provides with little to no setup is amazing. The team has built a great product and I am looking forward to upcoming features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one disadvantage that Datadog has is that is very much built for power users. Terms like APM and RUM are so niche and difficult for new users to understand that datadog themselves had to build a whole learning/certification system in order to get people up and running in their system.
If Datadog wants to target users that are not engineers or data scientists - I believe that they will have to start rethinking their product from a UX/UI point of view.

Datadog's products integrate seamlessly both with each other and with our other vendors giving us a centralized view of all of the metrics we need to monitor and improve our software.

Only downside is cost. Datadog is the industry leader and they know it! Custom metrics pricing should be revisted as it can escalate very quickly.

Provides a central place for our observability data across operations, security, and cloud costs.
Looking inside your data.

I like its enormous portfolio of integration and services. It's really easy to use and we integrate it in both our mobile and web-based applications. We mainly use it daily to track metrics and even reports from customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at the moment. For my business needs all the offered capabilities are currently exported and available to use.

Having a single tool to see every aspect of the product. Starting from seeing the logs to investigating metrics, bottlnecks and analyizing traces.
Improve your developer experience

So many integrations all in one place, Datadog allows you to see everything and anywhere.

The pricing is a bit hard to take, since you have to convice those with pursestrings that it is about value and not cost.

It provides confidence that I'm seeing the full picture.
Deep Observability
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the deep database monitoring features that Datadog provides for our cloud-based SQL Server databases. I am able to determine blocking queries and query anomalies.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of learning curve and could get cluttered without using an IaaC product like Terraform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Database observability. What queries are blocking and where are problems stemming from.
Loved by all engineers in our org

The best thing about Datadog is its ease of use and how well its individual product capabilities are integrated with each other. Datadog is used every day by almost everyone on our engineering team and is often mentioned as one of the favorite tools we have available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our developers love using Datadog and adopting all of its features. This requires a good cost governance strategy to make sure costs don't spiral out of control.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a provider of a critical SaaS solution, we need to achieve very high levels of reliability. With our large infrastructure footprint, Datadog helps us aggregate all observability data in one place and use it to prevent and troubleshoot issues.

while it is great for looking at metrics, i feel it lacks use for business monitoring. i would like more direct database queries to provide real time response situations for failures.
