Easy to start, somewhat confusing UI

We're able to automate much of our QA pipeline now, which is immensely helpful.

Essential monitoring service for teams with hybrid environments
What do you like best about the product?
Their service is around giving you the option to pull data from your services, clusters, and infrastructure in one site. After you send all your data there you can create dashboards, and analyze the analytics. You are able to create alarms and with those, you would receive a notification when the threshold of the alarm is triggered.
They offer also many different integrations with third-party services, systems and products.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is not easy to set up. You need to investigate a bit before setting up. It is worth it though. Another thing is the price. It is not the best in availability when you compare it with other options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we set it up, we usually want to get all the insight about the products we built. So it is great for sharing the status of the platform with all the stake holders of the product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great tool. Take your time to learn it, it will be worth in the future. We have set it up for different clients.
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!

Top Analytics monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to clearly see stats about company applications
What do you dislike about the product?
Some items are hard to find and take more clicks than expected to reach
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Get insights about apps that weren't know before. Quickly monitor network applications
Good visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to visualize data. Interactive and lite.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be too overwhelming or complex for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Webapp monitoring and health check
Great SaaS monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
System stats, software stats, API endpoints, events, dashboards, alerts, mobile apps, all in one. Also basic APM and logging. Cloud integration plus agents, and extensible checks. Beats using something like nagios hollow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive at scale, very little discounting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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:
Monitoring's complicated. If you just take the defaults on graphs and alerts you're not necessarily going to be seeing what you want to see - you have to understand the sampling and available analytics and stuff, it's simple to set up but can be complicated to get a visualization or alert that really gives you what you want. Support can help a lot, though.
Outstanding metrics, logs, and alert aggregator
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is easily and cost effectively aggregated into a single repository. Support staff is quite helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Version upgrades on all clients should be manageable from a central console. Instead, they rely on integration with Puppet and Chef. In my opinion, while using something like Puppet should certainly be an option, an enterprise product should include the ability to centrally manage endpoint agents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log aggregation and publishing to our application development teams, correlation between time stamps on logs and related device metrics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Initial installation is super quick and easy.
You will likely hit a steep learning curve / wall when you start moving into more advanced tasks such as alerts based on multiple aggregated metrics, custom dashboards, and log consolidation. The support team is very helpful when you get to this point.
You may want to also ramp up on your skills with Puppet and/or Chef as this is needed for automating the client upgrades.
