App performance
What do you like best about the product?
I have always felt that datadog has a very advanced system more than any other software that provides the same services because its good performance and the results that have been released have affirmed that all the monitoring of the app and programs of the company are well monitored by Datadog, providing a good 24/7 monitoring service making sure that any warning of something that is failing will reach the notification to the mail informing what is happening
What do you dislike about the product?
To place a profile picture on my datadog account, direct it to another page to create an avatar and there is a possibility to customize the datadog account with the photo but I do not like to do all this process in order to have my photo and try to create my avatar in the page that directs me datadog and is a very slow page that has no explanation of how to do then choose to leave the photo without the account
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any failure that is going to happen in any app or program keeps me informed of the performance that is processing to be alert that if it is not fixed and the necessary measures are taken, the information that is saved can be lost that is why before it causes more damage fix it and thus avoid more problems

Excelent monitoring tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The simple it is to get started, just install the agent and create a dashboard. Then personalize the metrics you want to track
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I didn't find anything to strongly dislike. Everything is pretty much very well done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log monitoring in order to identify issues in our services before its too late to do something about it and in consequence have lots of clients impacted by this
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog is a very well rounded tool, with lots of features and compatible with many many many services.
I would carefully review the pricing, but other than that is a solid go to. They have a 2 week free trial that I highly recommend.

A solution for monitoring applications and servers in real-time
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog has powerful integration. Practically, it can be supported with almost any service and it provides data collection with specific metrics and time series. The price is another great factor from Datadog, making it available and less expensive than the competition, especially for micro-services.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is not an easy software to learn. The learning curve is heavy and it will take some time. The UI is rough and it’s something that definitely needs to be improved. Alerts are not precisely easy to set. This feature should be simplified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On the dev-ops section, inside the IT department, we use Datadog as our solution for monitoring in real-time our applications and servers. All of them have DataDog Rest API implemented. It gives us a great visual of the resources used by the CPU and the ability to set alerts in case of emergencies.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Considering its price, Datadog is would be great for cloud-centric companies looking for a monitoring solution. However, beware you may need to take some time to learn how to configure it properly, in order to get the best of it.
DataDog To Manage Integration Apps
What do you like best about the product?
Super flexible and tons of metrics by which you can set alerts and build dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to be pretty technical to use the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We monitor our integration applications for response times and JVM health.
Versatile product at a great value
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog allows you to collect and cross-reference various metadata about your application--it's wonderful to have APM, container health monitoring, and logs in one place. Also, I spent a LOT of time with Datadog support... and I mean, A LOT, because our use case (our app is Dockerized and deployed on Aptible) is not typical. The support team was, pun intended, dogged in their persistence to help me get Datadog working for us. And it's a great value, cost-wise.
What do you dislike about the product?
The query functionality on the logs is not as advanced/flexible as I'd like, nor are the alerting capabilities. For instance, I'd like to be able to run a given log query (e.g., how many errors like X in the last 12 hours) and post it to slack or email or whatever, and right now this isn't supported. Also, for us to really get full use, we need them to offer a BAA, since we are HIPAA compliant. (Right now, we restrict what goes into Datadog to stay compliant.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a cost-effective log storage solution and we also really liked that we could get APM functionality in the same app--and we needed to be able to do it all in our particular infrastructure, namely we need to run a separate Docker container that runs the Datadog agent. We get the benefit now of having our metadata in one place for not a lot of money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If price is a concern, Datadog is the best value out there.

What do you dislike about the product?
When it is integrated with too many app you start to see delays in the delivery of information that can last minutes is not much delay but if it affects so that my work is fast because those minutes make me lose time and therefore take the option to unlink several integrations so that the datadog platform is the same as fast as a start
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You can have an optimal monitoring of all the app that are installed in the system and know its proper functioning or a possible problem before it is caused because datadog realizes first and alerts on this to take the necessary procedures before the damage
Problem solving
What do you like best about the product?
Indicates the success or failure of each app installed on the computers of the company and so know the performance of each if its functionality is correct or something is failing, looking for low performance solutions making each app work without any problem
It shows me the success of the service with codes that refer to the possible errors that are in the system or when there is a code in HTTP status indicates the success showing in detail well informed of each warning that produces

What do you dislike about the product?
In the option that they have to use for a free period the platform does not have technical support enabled, but in the other paid plans if it is enabled but it is free, which if it is free it is obvious that to begin with I would have many questions but I had no one to answer it with the training tutorials I learned, but many things were missing that when I started paying I asked them but at the beginning I did not like that detail
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have the control of the proper functioning of each app or each program that is installed and also the control of the malfunction that each program has and thus to know if the malfunction continues or the app or the program has to be changed for another that its operation if it is the right one
Swift alerts on email.
What do you like best about the product?
The alerts are sent to email instantly and makes the job easy for the developers to monitor what's wrong in case with the applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI in the web is little cluttered up and needs to be polished more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To monitor flags in Kafka consumption in the api of the software we built.
We get graphics that show in real time the total performance of the system
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is a great software for monitoring, provides a great overview of the state of the infrastructure at the time you want, the information and help that gives us the official website is very useful and quite good, I can have control of everything that happens in the system that could cause damage, we get graphics that show in real time the total performance of the system, besides the prices are quite accessible and also has many functions taking into account the good price.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support should improve a little, because when I have any questions and contact their explanations are not well known and can confuse me and I still leave with the same doubt without giving solution to the problem, however Datadog is a software that will comply with the work offered .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Datadog we have been able to mount monitors that can alert us when we have some problems, such as a dataset with high latency, We have been able to configure dashboards to have a complete view of all our services
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will need Datadog if you have a complex infrastructure, with Datadog you can control the whole system very efficiently and realize at any moment when something is wrong. It is also super simple to use and will not need more help
Problem solutions
What do you like best about the product?
Quickly analyze possible problems that may be occurring in the system filtering the solutions that can be generated before an error that causes serious damage
We discuss issues in context with production data to notify teams of changes and see who responded to alerts
When they are critical issues datadog notifies the performance problems of any metric
I collect the service statuses visualizing the correlations with graphic data to establish alert conditions in the infrastructure

What do you dislike about the product?
The beginning of the process for the initial configuration took a lot of work to learn as I started to use it because I could not learn all the vocabulary that was strange in a certain way because you had words that you did not know what they were talking about, it was the only thing that cost me because after having learned all the correct process I realized how excellent this platform is
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You have an analysis of the system and the security that you are always alerting of any problem that will occur in the distant or near future to prevent serious errors in the system and thus always have the correct performance of each system and app
