## Datadog Reviews
  ### 1. Datadog

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Juan R. | Staff Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

Our team uses a number of DD features.  We are heavily invested in the dashboards and monitors.  We have DD integrated with Slack and Pager Duty and it a primary source of notifications that drives actions w/in our Operations team.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

There is nothing I outwardly dislike.  I consider myself an intermediate user, so gaining training and experience using the DD tools is interesting to me.  I am especially interested in some of the newer features described at the Keynote today.  Service Catalog, Security analysis, Workflows are all features that will integrate nicely w/ our current process suite.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our current implementation of DD is mostly driven around monitoring and alerting of production software and critical systems in our infra.

  ### 2. Datadog is a great tool for multi-environment log aggregation

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 02, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

Grat User Interface (UI), easy to set up and configure, and plenty of integrations with cloud and on-prem solutions. Granular control over the ingested data. Flexible licensing scheme.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

Data normalization and unstructured log ingestion require time and effort. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is not available out of the box and requires a ticket to the Support team. Despite RBAC, access granularity is hard to achieve, especially in an organization with small Site Reliability Engineering teams.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Datadog is excellent at dashboarding, alerts and notifications. Alerts can be sent to messaging tools like Slack, MS Teams, SMS as well as email. It is easy to set up and delegate to other team members. Compared to the competition, I think Datadog has the lowest Return Of Investment (ROI) score.

  ### 3. Good monitoring tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2023

The tool is easy to use, great monitoring feature with customizable dashboard.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

  ### 4. Man's Best Friend

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bill M. | VP of Engineering, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

Log management and visualizations without having to write code. Data Dog is the fastest way to aggregate all your log management into on centralized view. Other products take time and glue code to try and scratch the surface of Data Dogs value.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

The only downside is with how easy it is to use you can get out of hand and drive the cost up right away. Lucky they have come out with monitors and easy ways to dial back to meet your budget.

**Recommendations to others considering Datadog:**

Go install Prometheus and Grafana to understand how much work it is prior to testing Data Dog.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Centralized log aggregation and application production monitoring. Out of the box you can setup an excellent monitoring and alerting system on your cloud based product.

  ### 6. Great tool for application & infrastructure monitoring

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shubham D. | Management Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

DataDog works as a excellent central resource to manage and monitor all our applications and infrastructure. The best thing about DataDog is that it's quite easy to use and user-friendly along with being a total value for money.  Also, it has excellent support and learning resources to be utilized by everyone.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

Some of the integrations and connections docs for setting up are outdated and not very to understand for anyone who is new. The process of setting it up will require you to get in touch with the support team several times. However, they are quite quick and happy to assist as and when needed.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The best benefit we've got is the real-time alert on issues of any kind which helps us manage the downtime and the errors. To ensure everything is working as intended, you have complete visibility of the apps. Also, it has great visualizations to be used within the platform.

  ### 7. Best centralized monitoring tool for everything

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Anatolij N. | DevOps Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2022

Datadog has many integrations for almost everything. It's easy to use if you want to configure the integration. Especially for AWS and Kubernetes, it allows you to start to monitor your cloud infrastructure.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

Especially for a long time, the cost overview for Datadog usage was very intransparent. Maybe it will be easier with the new Cost Management feature of Datadog.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With Datadog, we have all-in-one monitoring tool. Especially centralized logging we are using for analyzing the bugs and errors of our application. It makes us easier to filter specific logs. On the other side infrastructure monitoring makes the life of Cloud engineer easier

**Reviewed Date:** August 04, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

Datadog is user-friendly software with a comprehensive UI and enough settings and functionality to meet all of our needs. The most significant operating processes are mechanical and hence simple to use even for those with little familiarity with this equipment.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

While I'm working on new dashboards, it's always difficult to do so since the program is run quite slowly and takes several minutes to begin operating. I believed it was something to do with the machine, but it happened on every computer where Datadog was installed.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Datadog is used in my company's IT department to establish and trigger alarms when our systems accomplish a certain activity. We integrated it with ServiceNow, and the results have been fantastic, since it allows us to monitor each of our cloud instances from anywhere, while also storing and indexing Datadog warnings.

I would like to have datadog hand kubernetes metrics better. The alerting tools do not handle pod terminations or scaling events effectively. I would also like more advance kubernetes metrics. Improved iac options for configuring datadog

Full visibility into the service running as well as the infrastructure. We use the logs / tracing for historical tracking to identify new issues and over all health

Easy setup to monitor clusters in Databricks running Apache Spark. Pre-setup dashboards help to quickly gain insights on a infrastructure level without the needs of DevOps.

The pricing on the Datadog website could be more precise, such as allowing using a calculator for price estimates

**Reviewed by:** Jeremy V. | Data Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2022

Easy usability, seamless log management and filtering. We're able to quickly build dashboards, share them with the team, and build alerts from them. Avi Verma helped us with our log pipeline/status remapper.

Would love to have certain features added, but there are open source products that may help us

  ### 18. Great SaaS monitoring solution available in the market that supports several platforms

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nitish Chandu O. | Senior Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

Datadog has so many integrations available, making it easy to use for AWS, Azure, GCP, On-prem, containers, serverless, and many more. The process to create monitors and dashboards is simple, helping the OPS team to implement the monitoring in quick time. The solution is excellent for application monitoring, as it supports monitoring using traces. Notification in Datadog is excellent as it integrates with Service-Now, Slack bringing immediate attention of the users.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

The support from Datadog is something I see to be improved, as they deal with tickets only on emails. The support team doesn't connect over calls for troubleshooting, and there is no proper escalating process causing a delay in fixing monitoring issues.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our team got more productive in terms of identifying and fixing issues upon leveraging Datadog as the monitoring tool for
- infrastructure services that include disk, CPU, memory, uptime, network IN, etc
- application metrics like service availability
- certificate expiries 
- monitoring the log files with specific errors
- synthetics that helped us monitor the availability of application URLs

  ### 19. Datadog ✅

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shubham V. | DevOps Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

It is a SaaS-based tool that removes the overhead of managing the product itself and provides a good experience.
It supports a lot of different types of services such as monitoring servers, databases, etc but what caught my eye was log management and analysis.
Also,provides a variety of visualization to better observe the metrics.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

No dislikes as such, because it is specific to use-cases, how it serves your use-case is the first question to ask, and it got a lot of positives.
Still, One such thing to mention is cost and also sometimes it is overwhelming for new users to use it for the first time.

**Recommendations to others considering Datadog:**

Go for it, try your use-cases using a free trial to get the best suited plans.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Log Management. It provides a good combination of
- ingestion (type of data that can be indexed)
- generating metrics
- live viewing the logs as tailing, and 
- log archieval

These are some good benefits and help a lot in debugging the logs at a central location.

  ### 20. Awesome application.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mohammad W. | Cloud Support Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

The dashboards of each AWS service, the way they display the graphs, the number of metrics collected by the agent, also the number of features to monitor AWS resources allow you to monitor every single detail in your architecture.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

It is a little bit hard to start understanding the concept of datadog and how it works, also the cost of the services. And if possible to restructure the documentation, set proper title, put real case examples cause I did lost everytime so I am working on my own documentation.

**Recommendations to others considering Datadog:**

Datadog is one of the most sophisticated tools to monitor your cloud services, and it gives you a brief overview of your architecture and facilitate your troubleshooting process from the plenty of features that helps you.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The best thing that helps is the logs section, the way DataDog sectioned the logs allows you to pinpoint and spot any abnormal behavior behind high CPU and memory usage. In addition, to that the Database performance and especailly the RDS slow queries.

  ### 21. Real world Datadog review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

The learning curve is not as steep as many other monitoring tools, the auto-discovery and event/trace correlation works very well with very little manual help needed.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

It doesn't native support older technology like Informix so if you have an older stack this might not be ideal

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Finding the needle in the universe size haystack, micro-services, dbs, cloud, on-prem, it makes finding the problem quick.

  ### 22. DATADOG - One of the best monitoring tool

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Akshay K. | DevOps Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

- Datadog has infra and application-related all types of metrics from those we can monitor very effectively.

- Datadog provides one of the best Dashboards from which we can create - Timeseries, Query value, Top list, Table, Heatmap, Distribution, Treemap, Pie chart, free text, Images, Host map, Log stream, List, Alert value, Service map and many more things also we can create customized Dashboards according to client requirements.

- The pricing for the tool is very less as compared to other APM tools like Dynatrace, Nagios, and many other tools.

- The tool can be deployed in on-premise as well as cloud 

- As it is agent based, by installing an agent we can get most of the data in Datadog UI

- Datadog is user-friendly and easy to learn.

- For any issue, we get quick help from the Datadog support team.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

There is nothing to dislike in Datadog but I feel the Datadog needs to increase more documentation and videos to configure the application and infra monitoring and Datadog should show live billing of the used data and should show the billing according to the services we used.

**Recommendations to others considering Datadog:**

Datadog is best monitoring tool as compared to others.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- Datadog helped me to show all infra level and application level consumptions from monitors, whenever the threshold is reached, I will get a mail and ticket as I configured Datadog with SNOW so it helped me to prioritize the work.

- Using Datadog live processes I can see the consumption of all the applications so that I can make required changes in the server/application.

- Using Datadog SLA - I can show the percentage of uptime of all the servers and applications to clients.
 
- using live logs, I can able to check the errors in the Datadog portal instead of login in to the server.

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2022

The thing that stands out most about the Datadog product suite is its overall usability and architecture. From the installation of agents and the way metrics are gathered to the creation of dashboards, monitors, and alerts.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

Nothing as such.  of course there are things that could be different, but these dislikes are nowhere near with the positives. Maybe alerting and monitoring time to alert could be shorter.

great UI/UX, Documentation is great; In addition to the wealth of "standard" documentation provides, there a blogs, community forums, hours up hours of Youtube videos, and tons of code and comments available from Github.It benefits us to check all 500 errors.

**Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2022

  ### 29. Enterprise grade monitoring with Datadog

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Avinash U. | DevOps Engineer-I, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

Having a single platform for monitoring all kinds of infrastructure is helpful. Datadog has excellent support and learning resources to get started with monitoring our application/infrastructure. There are integrations for almost all types of cloud or on-premise infrastructure and applications. The system is resilient with no issues in terms of performance or outages. The log management and tracing is very convenient using Datadog with features like retention, backup, formatting, and RBAC.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

The documentation for a few integrations is outdated and not always straightforward. You'll have to reach out to support quite a few times while setting it up. While creating new dashboards, it is not autosaved or even suggested for saving, which is a huge pain point if not known earlier.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used Datadog for monitoring our infrastructure, logs, and traces, along with monitoring our real users through the UI. It has excellent features for an end to end monitoring once set up correctly and provides a holistic view of our entire infrastructure, helping us debug issues quickly.

  ### 30. very good network and service monitoring service

  ### 31. One of the best monitoring service I encountered.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kunal S. | Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

We monitor logs across multiple microservices in our infrastructure. I cannot emphasise how critical it is to debug the unhandled exceptions on production. Datadog provides an easy to understand UI unlike other(s) which I have used previously.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

I haven't encountered anything as it's been just over a year since I started using Datadog.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Real-time log streaming helps us monitor the production and lower environment logs for all our microservices. We have integrated datadog with slack as well, so if there is any spike in unusual traffic we trigger the notification to our channel.

  ### 32. Datadog is best

  ### 36. Great monitoring tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ayush U. | Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2021

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

There are a lot of things that are present in Datadog:

1. 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. Monitors: You can create monitors to set up alerts on top of various metrics.
5. APM services: You can manage all your services deployed from here.
6. You can tag your data. 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.

**Reviewed by:** Sabrina K. | Associate SRE, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

It's super helpful when monitoring our different infrastrucures

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

There's a learning curve which takes time in terms of training

  ### 38. DataDog is a very good first line of monitoring for most situations

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

At ODB we have been happy with the performance and flexibility of DataDog to adapt to monitor and report. We've been able to point it at many critical infrastructure points and receive very quick notifications when there is an issue.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

There have been complaints about the interface on DataDog and some of the screens. There seems to be very little that one can do to change the look and feel to their liking. Some of the reports are not as detailed for some of the leadership's liking.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

DataDog is helping our ministry monitor and notify of any outages of issues within and without, pertaining to critical infrastructure. This includes AWS instances, buckets, as well as physical device monitoring.

I've been using a lot of the application security product lately-- getting security signals from our deployed agents APM is a gamechanger.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

The datadog kubernetes operator often feels like an afterthought-- I wish the Kubernetes agent deployment story was more consistent and maintained.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Datadog provides both appdev and appsec insights, and the Watchdog features lets us know when our own monitors are missing key metrics.

  ### 40. A complete tool for monitoring servers

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aman S. | Team Architect, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

Log management is the best feature for troubleshooting as the logs are detailed and easy to understand.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

It only supports applications that are mainly based on Java, Python, .Net and Php. In the future, they should add support for more languages for broader industry usage.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The ability to use tags to identify traffic for source and destination is a huge beneficial factor for data monitoring and the tool documentation is great.

  ### 41. Good for monitoring my aws cloud

**Reviewed by:** Santa S. | Project Manager and STEM Trainer , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2022

I wish that DataDog was a bit more dynamic and also free

when the app sec feature was originally rolled out it wasnt really integrated well with the platform. I assume it is better now. And the pricing for sensitive data

Log management and it helps triaging alerts

  ### 43. EXTREMELY user friendly

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Praveen R. | Senior Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

  ### 45. Opaque prices, inflexible billing, unexpected charges - strongly avoid.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

1. 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 now 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.

Datadog is able to roll out features in a short period of time.

Datadog is solving the hard problems in most of the fields, for example they are able to solve SIEM in the Security Space. Their SIEM product is fresh and is not a traditional one.

  ### 48. Experience with Datadog

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ahmad H. | DevOps Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2022

**What do you like best about Datadog?**

I really like the Datadog real user monitoring (RUM), it provides us the insight of our frontend application as it was from our real users, it helps up a lot to understabnd it.

**What do you dislike about Datadog?**

We used datadog for RUM and we already liked this service and in future we will be using some integration service for amazon web services, so for now we do not dislike anything about datadog.

**What problems is Datadog solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used datadog for real user monitoring (RUM) and it gave us insight to our application performance from the prespective of real users. With this we were able to identify the problems.

the cloud interface is somwhow confusing, sometimes you do things and it's difficult to understand why you are not getting what you were thinking you were doing
