What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?

I've been using several such platforms over my career and the switching from one to another usually bumps into the test of "how fast can you start using it as an end-user". Datadog has a good UX and is quite intuitive, almost no training is required to start using it.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

As mentioned above - the ease-of-use is the biggest advantage

What do you dislike most about this product?

We had to format all our logs differently, since when there were errors - you got each row of the error in a separate row in Datadog as if they are not related. In the previous platform we used, the entire "stack trace" of the error would appear as one group, which was far more convenient for debugging and searching.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Check your logs structure before committing, to understand if it answers your needs. Other than that the software is great

Pros

Reliable
Performance Enhancing
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy

Cons

Less Efficient Service
Less Effective Service

The best monitoring, but prepare your wallet.

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?

Datadog congregates all monitoring levels in just one tool. We have log management, metrics and APM being able to correlate events.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

How complete it is providing everything we need to monitor our applications.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Absolutely its price. I know it is an amazing product, but it is not feasible for most of companies.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Be aware with logging management through it. If you don't take care, you can easily burn all your annual budget in one week.

Pros

Respectful
Unique Features
Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product

Cons

Vendor's Interest First
Less Generous
