What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?

Has several out-of-the-box integrations with various cloud providers, technologies, and apps.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Datadog's limitless integration options are something I really enjoy about it. It integrates seamlessly with Slack and AWS. When it comes to visuals, the dashboards always present all of the important information on the same screen. They're also simple to personalise and read. The user interface is sleek and simple.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is not simple to learn to handle the platform from one second to the next; it takes a lot of effort and expertise to be able to accomplish the proper approach to utilise it so that everything runs smoothly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Datadog would be ideal for cloud-centric businesses seeking for a monitoring service, especially given its low cost. However, you should be aware that in order to get the most out of it, you may need to devote some time to learning how to set it properly.

Pros

Respectful
Client Friendly Policies
Transparent
Appreciates Incumbent Status
