What do you like best about Datadog?

I really like how detailed the log traces can be in Datadog, and how I can search for specific logs based on labels and facets. Setting up Datadog agents was also very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datadog?

Pricing can become really expensive at scale, especially when log ingestion and custom metrics are not carefully managed. It would really be nice to be able to view a cost dashboard, as I don't think Datadog has that feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Datadog is a powerful platform/tool for monitoring/logging/error tracking but might not be for you"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Datadog?

Datadog is pretty awesome, it's really powerful, we can add logs from our platforms, it tracks automatically the `console.errors` on the frontend, we can track the specific line when mappings are available, it allow us to track the CPU usage, it even can be connected to services like OpsGenie, or Slack or others, also it has support for IDEs which means we can open the error directly on our IDE, which is really awesome... but maybe the most important is that we can have a complete platform for control of our code/infra in one single place, as a FrontEnd developer, this help us also to track properly what the users see and replicate issues as closes as we can without bothering our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datadog?

It's really expensive, sometimes configuring a dashboard or specific monitors is really hard as the platform is too big, which feels overwhelming, meaning we can't properly find some parts or things like that, also for example on the error login I think it should work the opposite when creating a query using the filters, as we should start with nothing selected, and then we can start filtering, so it's not hard to find what we want...

Datadog offers a comprehensive set of monitoring tools that make it easy to visualize, alert, and analyze performance metrics in real time. I particularly like how seamlessly it integrates with various cloud platforms and services.

What do you dislike about Datadog?

Datadog can get expensive as usage scales, especially with multiple integrations and high data ingestion. The pricing model isn't always transparent, and configuring some advanced features can be a bit complex without strong technical knowledge or documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful tool!"
5/5
What do you like best about Datadog?

Datadog is a powerful observability tool that brings metrics, logs, traces, and more into a single, easy-to-use platform. What I really like is how quickly you can get visibility across your entire stack—especially in dynamic cloud and Kubernetes environments—and the dashboards are both beautiful and practical. It’s reliable and flexible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datadog?

it can get expensive fast if you’re not careful with what you ingest or retain. Some of the advanced features take time to master, and alert tuning needs discipline to avoid noise. Still, for modern infrastructure, it’s one of the best tools out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable monitoring with deep insights and great integrations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Datadog?

Datadog provides real-time visibility into infrastructure and application performance with intuitive dashboards and robust alerting. I love how easy it is to set up monitors and correlate metrics, logs, and traces all in one place. The out-of-the-box integrations with AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes are a huge plus and save a lot of setup time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datadog?

Pricing can ramp up quickly, especially when enabling multiple features like log management, APM, and custom metrics. The UI can feel a bit overwhelming at first, especially for new users. Some configuration options require going deep into documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
