PT Puskar T. Site Reliability Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/19/2025 "Unmatched Reliability and Observability You Can Trust" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Datadog? What I appreciate most about DataDog are its reliability and observability. Even during major global outages, such as those affecting Cloudflare and AWS, DataDog continued to perform without any issues. The APM, RUM, and Synthetic Checks are exceptionally dependable, giving me the confidence to choose DataDog without hesitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Datadog? I wish the UI had a more modern look, as it currently feels like I'm using an old inventory management system from the 2000s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you? DataDog has been highly beneficial for us in many ways, from monitoring synthetic checks to tracking APM traces. The platform provides a map of interconnected, dependable services, allowing us to view latency and error rates all in one central location. The alerting mechanism is easy to use, supports numerous integrations, and consistently works smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PN Peter N. Cloud Operations Technician Information Technology and Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 3/19/2019 "Datadog kind-of hard to use" 2/5 What do you like best about Datadog? The public dashboards are really useful for displaying and monitoring apps around the office. There are plenty of integrations and webhooks we can use to monitor our applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Datadog? Training is hard to find, and when I do find it, a lot of the instructions are outdated, or not Windows friendly. The learning curve was higher for me, and it discouraged me from moving forward with Datadog. I've sent emails to their training team and they said they'll update their training content in the future to make it more Windows friendly. The Monitor Report that gets emails if formatted strangely, where the top alerting monitors / top notification is summarized, a lot of the monitor names get cut off. Even if you click in the email to view the report in a browser, our monitors and alerts have to be named a specific way since we share the account with other divisions in the company, so the report just shows a bunch of our monitors with the same initial name [Department] - [Product] - [Container]/[Service], the names get cut off after Department and Product, so the rest of the report is harder to read -- I'd have to hover my mouse over to see the full name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Datadog: Training would be easier if you were on macOS or Linux, having Windows subsystem for Linux didn't really help. Windows is fine if you already know what you're doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you? We are trying to monitor applications and set up alerts when things go wrong, whether it be CPU load too high, or RAM usage suddenly spike, we need to respond to these incidents and correct issues with our application.

Easy to get going, performs a simple task well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Datadog? \* It's very easy to drive up the bill to ridiculous amounts. \* The pricing model does not scale with enterprise. \* Recently, an engineer accidentally left an ephemeral port attached to an IP address in the stream. This increased our bill by $10,000 per-month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Datadog: Be wary of the price. Don't get sucked in and end blowing all your cash on a small piece of the puzzle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?
