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.

Improve your developer experience

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

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.
Datadog does the job but it is very expensive.
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog drives successful improvements in incident response and general availability of our services.

Datadog is very expensive. Not only is it expensive it is very hard to control costs, forecast costs correctly, and effectively budget for costs.

Datadog gives us observability into how our services are functioning. This leads to improvements in availability of our services.
Loved by all engineers in our org
What do you like best about the product?
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.
