Robust software for all your observability needs

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

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
