A nice dog after all
What do you like best about the product?
* A very flexible monitor, you can track a lot of things (there are more than 100 possible integrations)
* Also a server health checker.
* Unbeatable custom dashboard creator: you can basically mix everything you want to track into a single dashboard without problems.
* Custom tracking stats: With it's powerful event-tracking API you can build your own statistics and gauges so you can measure what you really want to.

What do you dislike about the product?
* Steep learning curve: As powerful as it sounds, requires some level of skill to understand every aspect of the service and get the exact measurements you want. Datadog is huge.
* Some prebuilt alers were not working: this is a very subjective subject (hehe) since I might be caused this problem, I didn't give it enough research time.
* Partial service integration: Sure there are 100+ services to integrate with, but some of them only shows basic and somewhat trivial statistics, not so useful at first so you need to learn and implement your own statistics.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm monitoring 10+ servers with it. It's worth every penny and hour I used to learn Datadog. Every morning I turn on my terminal and the 3 custom dashboards show me what I want to see, I feel like a Matrix operator.
