Datadog Reviews

The best feature of data dog is real time monitoring of logs and vulnerability scan which stands unique to save the server and cloud from further damaging

The datadog user interface is very hard to learn and with the minimum training anyone cannot operate it fully also a lot of integrations are very difficult to operate.

- Centralized observability
- Rich features, covering end-to-end stack
- Good UI/UX experience
- Rich integration with other libraries and frameworks
- Reliability and scalability

- The pricing model is too rigid. It can be expensive when you have the scale.
- The pricing model can be too complicated to understand
- No startup or credits offering

Good for analyzing logs, creating basic dashboards

Pricing if very high, causes us to reduce retention. Also, the indexing is not great.

The support from Datadog team along the year to tackle bugs and also beta testing new products and providing feedback

The fact that we need a PhD to be able to understand Datadog pricing model XD

The easy of visualizeation and searching vs any other platform.

Navigating is difficult, it relies on you memorizing icon means what, or what dropdown a service falls under.

A powerhouse of a tool for monitoring every bit of application stack, infrastructure, state of business

A lot of options and functions sometimes makes it hard to find the one you need

Everything is packed into one platform, that makes it the single point when it comes to monitoring.

Support for Maven and Gradle is not so great. It doesn't really know how to check for actual dependency versions used in my project.

APM, the wide range of available features.

The UI can be a bit sluggish/slow at times. Can be pricy

Tracing is awesome.
With the help of Trace attribute i can track every method call.

Takes more storage/memory in the dll with respect to new reli*

Experience with Datadog is Best. Using this Tool since 1 year. I worked on many monitoring tool but this is the one best for cloud and infrastructure monitoring. Datadog provides many third party tools integration, we did many integration and monitored many services. we can setup the alerts on our services for let us know before any unusual activity happens. and main thing is we can redirect that alerts to our notification channel and our teams to work on that. We can integrated our frontend and backend applications and we can collect logs also for our application and we can more debug it. They have built in dashboard feature we can manually create dashboards according to our use case. we can also create synthetic scripts and synthetic monitors such as ping for testing our website is available or not or its properly working or not. we can query our data and fetch it accordingly. Talking about AWS and azure services integration, Its totally easy our teams hasn't fetch any issue, its easy as it is. overall experience is good while using this tool best for keep our application and services up to date and running. They have active customer service.

Nothing to dislike about Datadog, pricing is quite high but this tool has providing you lot more integration and active customer support so you can raise your query and You will get feedback fast.

It's large feature-set and integrations that make setting up new alerts and dashboard easy

It is very complicated at times and we end up not using things very efficiently.

User friendly UI/UX. Easy to navigate and finding different functions of application is quite easy

The side navigation menu can be better.
Search Explorer for logs filtering is not very efficient. The checkboxes flicker

Works very nice when you need to collect logs from multiple different platforms/environments. Good monitoring/alerting capabilities.

As a large tool it has its own learning path. Takes some time to learn different concepts, but well worth time investment

RUM has helped us in identifying the frustrations of end user, visibly view how the end user is interacting with our application and ultimately serve our users better and improve usability for them. Also the Datadog monitors for monitoring CPU and memory usage have been a real game changer in resolving memory leaks.

Something to improve on is capture information logs whenever required in the RUM sessions in case we want to debug certain scenarios even before errors happen.

DBM really help us in indentifying the slow queries and co-relating it to the service call.

The APM feature in which how to find memory leaks is little behind than competitors

1 platform to consolidate all application logs and cloud logs.

Confusing pricing model for individual features.

I can see everything in one place and it helps me identify and fix problems quickly

It takes some time to learn how to use all the features. It's also a bit expensive

Dashboard and session logs all at one place is good thing to have, also the services listed and getting data around it is also good. Information of service like chart, logs, APIs are good as well

Tracing logs can be made bit more simpler like the most useful resource columns should be added directly

Reliability. Clean and intuitive user interface.

Pricing. Also, the documentation is a bit confusing at times.

A complete suite to track and monitor applications

Sometimes is complete to track an error and complex integration with some clouds

Creating custom dashboards and service monitors

Would like few videos to be published on the customization and the features.

Really good dashboards and insights. APM is my favorite

Better UI with font and style could be useful.

Error tracing abilities. How everything is put together. I helps to find errors.

Some tools are a little bit expensive to have, and there are really good cheaper alternatives.
