Traces: There are traces provided to track all the requests made to your app. 2. Metrics: You can create metrics for your application. Using these metrics you can create monitors to set up alerts over them. 3. Dashboard: You can also create a customized dashboard. We create multiple app dashboards for tracking them. 4.

We use a lot of tags to provide in-depth ideas about all the services and metrics. 7. Integrations: You can integrate your alerts with Slack and other apps. In this way you can receive notifications on your channels and manage alerts, **What do you dislike about Datadog?** There is nothing that I dislike. But support for a query language would be great. While setting up monitors we felt a need for queries because we had to create metrics for various custom alerts. **What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?** We monitor our services, create dashboards, monitors to set up alerts, debug issues using traces. We have various synthetic health checks which helps to track if our apps are up. ### 7.

All services in one place 2. Excellent monitoring functionality in UI **What do you dislike about Datadog?** Be prepared to be completely ripped off in billing. My Datadog bill came to 2x my AWS bill. Ludicrous. 1. Datadog billing panel does not show how much you owe at the moment, or how much you've used. You just wait until the end of the month and pray it won't be something ridiculous. 2. You'll be charged for random accidents / fluctuations. Accidentally spin up a 100 hosts for 10 seconds? Boom, 15$/host -> 1500 USD charged to you. No way to set caps, no limits, no way to even get alerted that you're gonna be charged this amount. I can't believe something with this level of professionalism has grown so big. If you're planning to use them PLEASE be aware of these extremely shady policies. **Recommendations to others considering Datadog:** Don't. Other options exist where you don't risk accidentally bankrupting your company. **What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?** Was using them to monitor user behavior. Won't be using them any longer. ### 16.
