Datadog
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog gives companies the ability to bringing together data from servers, databases, tools, and services to present a unified view of an entire stack
What do you dislike about the product?
Data dog does offer a free service but it limits you to one day of retention, five hosts, and no alert capability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
datadog offers analysis capabilities that extend well beyond a traditional report set, starting with the search capability provided in the event view. Users can build queries based on a number of criteria, including the host, event priority, tag, or status which has allowed us to be more analytical in all of our approach
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Datadog offers three pricing tiers, including a free service level that limits you to one day of retention, five hosts, and no alert capability. The Enterprise tier is required for corporations looking to monitor more than 500 hosts, and pricing is negotiated on a per-customer basis.
Most customers will likely go for the Pro service level, which costs $15 monthly per host when billed annually. Datadog Pro provides support for up to 500 hosts and offers alerting, custom metrics and events, and 13-month data retention.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Uptime for websites and backend tools
Allows us to quickly see if errors are stacking, or requests are slowing down
Using datadog allowed us to spot an issue with one or our email queues and identify where in the product things were going wrong. Diagnostics took half the time with this knowledge.

The visualization is amazing.
Amazingly easy to setup
What do you like best about the product?
Its super easy to setup and start monitoring your system/clusters. The Infrastructure Host map and dashboards are impressive and give a quick overview of your "Health Dashboard" to be able to diagnose the issue with a server/cluster and quickly fix it. The "Events" tab gives a quick overview of all the "state" changes that occurred during the given time - period so that we have a time series trend to look at. Also the priority of an event can be changed/raised to be able to quickly take an action.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up Monitoring/Alerts is a bit non - intuitive to begin with. It takes a bit of understanding to be able to configure the alerts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring custom Dashboards with multiple integrations and API access make it easy to quickly visualize the cluster health and operations. The Integrated Dashboards which come pre-populated with critical metrics are a great feature to quickly start monitoring your cluster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is definitely good value for money. It is a cheap alternative to start on a month-to-month basis to evaluate the product before being able to make an annual commitment.
Good for monitoring!

we were using datadog software for monitoring purpose for doing a health check of all the services instances running on the cloud. It gave us a good exposure and notified us in a QuickTime for any failures!

Based on my knowledge, sending a notification on email having a delay than the runtime text notification. We relied on texts to get a quick update on any failures.

5 9's availability of services to the customers!
Awesome for keeping an eye on all your virtual machines

Visibility into general system health on linux cloud virtual machines. Monitoring disk, network, compute and memory resources.

Always free to start off with a few machines and experience it before signing a contract.
