robust and extensive features and intuitive UI/UX
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?
As far as I know Datadog has the largest number of integrations with other commonly used cloud providers, databases, languages and its also has the highest number of meaningful features, hence making it one of the biggest o11y software. I also love its intuitiveness and was able to use it comfortably within few hours which includes setting up metrics for my application, creating the dashboard and notifications on slack and alerts on pager-duty based on various thresholds, while it was not that fast in other software I used earlier.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
with its APM and metrics dashboards together, its less context switches while debugging the production incident, hence saves huge amount of time, also zero overhead of maintaining it.
What do you dislike most about this product?
it doesn't have the great logging support, which makes it difficult to deep dive in few issues where we really needs to dig into the logs, also its cost is on higher side
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
list down what are your real needs and budget and based on make final decision
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity

Robust software for all your observability needs
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?
its very easy to setup and extensive guides on its various capabilities its also super important for observability software to be very reliable other wise you can't find the critical issues in your system real-time, and in my experience i never saw the disruption to the DataDog(DD) service which enabled me to do many production RCAs effectively, while I faced few issues with other open-source and proprietary softwares. Also DD has very intuitive UI/UX which makes it very user friendly
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
its Out of the box integration with many softwares and cloud providers to see all the infra and application metrics and highly customisable dashboards and integration with many alerting systems. and very good explanation about the metrics provides for Out of the box integration with other softwares like kafka, Elasticsearch etc
What do you dislike most about this product?
its cost and when you want to customize or add new metrics for your application its not very straightforward like its in prometheus and documentation and guides needs more better examples for adding the custom metrics.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
have trial accounts with DD and other observability softwares and evaluate their features based on your needs and budget before making the final decision
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
