best commercial monitoring tool at the moment

What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?
Datadog has unique features and is constantly being improved. It has many integrations allowing you to monitor almost anything. It has good performance both in the display of information on the dashboards and the agent running on the nodes. Perhaps, its price is a bit high.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I like the most are the integrations and the possibility to create custom checks that send metrics using DogStatsD.
What do you dislike most about this product?
So far there is nothing I dislike. Maybe its price is a little high
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Check if you are really going to use all the features Datadog has, how many nodes or services you plan to monitor, how many metrics you are generating, etc. This could tell you if the cost you will pay for this tool is really worth it or if you should go for another solution.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy

Tool is intuitive and super simple to get started
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?
Datadog were bit early (than others) to support multi-product dashboards. Naturally it's inch more smoother to to the initial set up. You can launch your first dashboard really quickly in no time as most of the cloud handshakes are pretty intuitive and semi automated.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I like most about DD is you can have a single dashboard for a set of databases from different zones, VPCs, product lines etc at a single page and compare them with filters for last 1 year historical data. That's a great feature to start your trend analysis like data growth, traffic analysis etc.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Even though the tool is intuitive their documentations are never upto date despite multiple concerns raised in various review platforms. Its because of the constant change and evolution the product is going through, but one got to keep up to be at the top.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
For a quick start for your infrastructure monitoring DD would be a good choice. Some of the real time data pulling can be tedious if you have large size distributed infrastructure, but it's worth it once initial set up is done.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
