Great platform for logs analysis and cloud monitoring

Kommentarer: Choosing to use Datadog made my work so much easier to accomplish. The logs analysis is one of the best thing that I can have in order to monitor my projects performance and health. This tool performs well and it is really useful. Real time logging works well. Definitely a must have.

Fordeler:

I think that the best features that Datadog has is that you can track and follow logs in real time, something really important to have if your project is live. I like the idea of creating custom views of sets of logs (with custom filters, data parsing and a lot more) and that you can share them with your team.

Ulemper:

It is a bit complicated to set for the first time. Is not quite easy to use or know at first about all the available features that Datadog has. Interface is tricky and can be a blocker sometimes. Following that, if your fields are not mapped in the right way, filters are not that useful.

Datadog is great! Room to improve but definitely the future of observability

Fordeler:

For us the most liked feature of Datadog is the possibility to compare all data that we received from our platform. Being able to compare the platform status, the network status, the performance traces, the logs is really helpful letting us find issues where we couldn't find if we will do it manually.

Ulemper:

Datadog is great but it misses something, for example it could include a self remediation tool. Since every server has already installed a Datadog agent it would be so helpful if with the UX we could add, edit or delete custom checks in python or something like that, and if we could automate some actions programmed in the UX so we could work and integrate with escalation policies, alerts and more.

Datadog is a Easy implementing, Friendly interactive Siem

Kommentarer: Overall, Datadog can be a useful tool for businesses that need to track and examine complex systems, but it may not be the best option for many businesses, especially those with limited budgets or less complex monitoring requirements.

Fordeler:

-User friendly-Easily implementable-Detailing of Logs-best fit for all organizations

Ulemper:

Understanding Datadog can be difficult, especially for those who are new to monitoring and analytics. Nonetheless, it has a plethora of capabilities and integrations that make it an effective tool for tracking and analysing complex systems. Datadog's pricing may be somewhat high in comparison to other tools of a similar nature, particularly for larger enterprises or those with high data ingestion rates. It offers a variety of pricing plans, including a free plan, to assist organisations of various sizes and needs in finding a plan that works for them.

Couldn't install

Kommentarer: If you can get it running I am sure it's good.

Fordeler:

Looks like it should do the job, less log limits than other products.

Ulemper:

Spent days trying to get it working on a pretty vanilla Windows VM but never could get it up and running. Support pretty much just told me to read the documentation which wasn't really helpful after going over it ten times already. Had similar problem with another product and they could tell me the exact lines of the config and registry that needed changing.

Powerful and flexible

Kommentarer: We can connect traces, logs and events on our infrastructure. We can follow every HTTP request that arrives at our API to the individual services. If errors or other events occure we can see them, as they are connected with each request / trace. This helped us a lot in finding bottlenecks in our microservice architecture

Fordeler:

I really like that datadog offers a free tier to get startet with it. It helped building a net of monitoring around our servers and services. We have implemented a wide collection of (they call it synthetic tests) that we use as an continuous integration test suite. We even can monitor the performance of different application versions.

Ulemper:

Even if their locally installed agent on our servers is very flexible and can collect so many information, the configuration via YAML files is difficult to start with. The learning curve here is pretty steep in the beginning.

Datadog for log analysis of cloud

Kommentarer: Till now we have one of the good experience with the data dog as it is helping us a lot in monitoring our cloud and database server. A support from datadog team is also good thing to consider.

Fordeler:

The best feature of data dog is real time monitoring of logs and vulnerability scan which stands unique to save the server and cloud from further damaging

Ulemper:

The datadog user interface is very hard to learn and with the minimum training anyone cannot operate it fully also a lot of integrations are very difficult to operate.

Among the top 3 server and application monitoring solutions

Kommentarer: It provides good and detailed info both on server monitoring metrics as well as on the application monitoring options.The experience with Datadog is excellent and, if you choose it, you are not losing anything in regard to the alternatives (the only exception is if you have the expertise to deploy open source solutions yourself).

Fordeler:

Generous free plan with detailed information both on server and application monitoring.

Ulemper:

Nothing unusual. Being a paid platform, it naturally set limits on its free plan (fair) but, for this reason, you may prefer the responsibility to deploy an open source alternative (to remove those limits) instead of upgrade to a paid plan.

Best Application Performance Monitoring tool!

Kommentarer: Datadog helped us solve a critical reliability and traceability problem we had with one of our customers. There was not clear visibility into the root cause of an issue when it happens and that caused finger pointing between teams. While there were other monitoring tools being used, they lacked the capabilities that Datadog has which provided much greater visibility and helped us improve the reliability of our system landscape. Onboarding was a breeze and customer service top notch!

Fordeler:

Service Map, Session Replay, Custom metrics and monitors

Ulemper:

We had a sticker shock after onboarding, as the was the hosts were counted for certain infrastructure was not clear from the documentation.

One Consol for everything related to monitoring

Kommentarer: Excellent.

Fordeler:

I need not have multiple monitoring solutions for different Applications. So, creating combined Dashboards/Monitors/Alerts is very convenient.

Ulemper:

Pricing is a little on the high end, but it's definitely worth it .

Good service for logs management and analysis

Kommentarer: We used it for querying and analyzing logs in case of problems in our platform (bugs, stability, performance, etc.)

Fordeler:

The searching and filtering capabilities where quite convenient

Ulemper:

The stability issues in the last year got more often than usual, which is quite problematic when you need access to you logs in real-time

Analytics tool which helps customers and users always get the product you want them to get

Kommentarer: Overall, having Datadog monitor our apps' performance and customers/users' pain points is invaluable. It's an amazing tool which lets us identify bottlenecks and better serve our users. Although the initial learning curve of utilizing Datadog's plethora of data analytics tools is steep, it's well worth the effort and price as there is much value to the metrics Datadog provides.

Fordeler:

Datadog is probably one of the most notable analytics tool out there for large companies. It's easy to track users' flow in terms of what routes they're hitting, when they hit a snag and 404, or other metrics like how performant certain requests are which allows us to identify bottlenecks and get rid of them immediately.

Ulemper:

There is a steep learning curve I will say with this software and needs an expert to help lead tutorials or sessions to get the ball rolling with new tool users. Although there are many built in functionalities and easily customizable features, it can be overwhelming and hard to pinpoint exactly what type of analytics you're looking for. It's one of those softwares where you have to play around with it to get the stars to align and find a model or metric that works best for your customers and use cases.

Grunner til å bytte til Datadog: Datadog seemed to be more data intensive and specifically geared towards products like ours which really relied on app throughput, performance, and availability. Getting our product straight to the user, in a quick and efficient manner, is our priority and Datadog helps clear any blockers or issues that gets in the way of that.

New Aged way of Monitoring

Kommentarer: Overall experience has been great overall as our account managers will always do their best to try to meet our requirements and needs. They have done a good job at planning out all meetings with senior engineers when required.

Fordeler:

I truly enjoy the integrations that datadog provides. It allows us to view more metrics that are more of a deep dive into specific applications. These metrics help us understand what is widely monitored in the industry that we did not think about monitoring ourself. Another key item is that datadog comes out of the box systematic checks that we normally had to add in manually for a newly onboarded host.

Ulemper:

The item I dislike least is that when you decommission a host the application requires up to 24 hours for that host to officially disappear from the list rather than being removed immediately.

Powerfull Tool.

Kommentarer: Very powerful and useful monitoring tool but so complicated to deploy at the first.

Fordeler:

Diligence, details and deep of monitoring all detail.

Ulemper:

capturing every single details, validity of details and more importantly capability to monitor everything!!!

Well worth the investment

Kommentarer: Overall, it has been a very pleasant experience in comparison to New Relic, Logic Monitor and AppD.

Fordeler:

It is simple to setup and maintain. Plus the UI is really easy to understand.

Ulemper:

Polling period of the alerts are not short enough. The lowest is every 5 minutes but if a site is down, 5 minutes is too long to wait to see if it is down.

Must have for your application monitoring and infrastructure management

Kommentarer: Overall we are using datadog for application performance monitoring on daily basis an it has really helped us resolve application incidents.

Fordeler:

Application performance monitoring, server and database monitoring, dashboards & reporting, proactive incident management

Ulemper:

Sythentic queries are difficult to grasp. Need support for more geographies for application performance Monitoring

Datadog is best in class

Kommentarer: Love it, could not imagine better.

Fordeler:

Easy to use and gives us the data we need to understand what is happening in our applications.

Ulemper:

It has taken us a while to implement. Ebs support is not as intuitive as others.

one of the best software for monitoring in the market

Fordeler:

This software allows to monitoring all you need and also can find lots of solutions for a high gama of cases. by using this app i be able to see the problems that me and my team have, so we can solve it by utilizing all the data that datadog provides. Works in differents OS and that make things more easy

Ulemper:

The proces to instal and put in march this softwre can be a nightmare if you have not experience, it is really complicated. Though the software have nice tools, the price is not the best in the market, is posible to find something good for lowes price if you know what are you loking for. And finally haved some problem with some data transfer working with this app but i really dont konw what was the razon why

Datadog Review

Kommentarer: Making the decision to utilize Datadog really facilitated my job. One of the finest tools that I can use to keep an eye on the performance and health of my projects is the study of the logs. This gadget works nicely and is quite practical. Real-time logging is effective. Definitely essential.

Fordeler:

From my opinion, with the most excellent features that Datadog has as user can track and take after logs in real time, something truly imperative to have within the case of extend is live. I usually like the idea of creating custom sees of sets of logs (with custom channels, information parsing and a parcel more) which user will share them together with the user group.

Ulemper:

Setting it up for the first time, seems like is a little challenging which is not at all simple to use or understand all the capabilities that Datadog provides at first. Interface is challenging and occasionally a roadblock. Then, filters are not very helpful if user fields are not properly mapped.

Monitor full stack app performance with Datadog

Fordeler:

For our AWS deployment, we use Datadog for application performance and server monitoring as well as synthetic HTTP tests . DataDog enables real-time information and measuring engineering-specific metrics and allows you to control how you trace and diagnose data. If you are looking to track the time it takes for a web hook to fire after an asynchronous request has been made, you can store the time the request has been sent in your database and when the webhook fires for that request, measure the delta and send it to DataDog. DataDog integrates with Slack, which allows for alerts on average and max thresholds.

Ulemper:

Datadog has a mature product but features are limited, the tool feels dated and the UI is very plain.

Platform observation tool

Kommentarer: We are happy to use

Fordeler:

We do like easy management and analysis of logs, tracing .

Ulemper:

Helm charts is bit hard to understand. Configuration might be hard for non experienced person

Great first step for data tracking and incedent monitoring.

Fordeler:

I use this tool on a daily basis for handling errors both in our live environment and for testing. It allows me to see where an error may be coming from and follow it through to its source. I could not do my job effectively without datadog

Ulemper:

The filtering of data is not as comprehensive as I would like. I sometimes need to search through the results to find what I need. Displaying a record in the chronological order is not always perfect and I sometimes don't get the context I want.

Best all-in-one monitoring tool

Fordeler:

Being able to combine all of our analytics tools in one place makes it easy to find the right information to investigate, monitor, and resolve operational issues quickly. Combining products like logs and APM traces makes both tools even more powerful for finding and understanding problems with our applications.

Ulemper:

If there's one drawback, it's the cost, which can become expensive for monitoring high-throughput systems or systems with a lot of hosts.

Many integration options and plethora of dashboards and visualizations

Kommentarer: Dependable and reliable solution.

Fordeler:

Configuring monitoring tools is not always trivial, half of the battle is making sure metrics are flowing. Datadog is very flexible when it comes to sending metrics to their cloud. You can use collectD, statsd, file beats, or the 84523982 other options. Our orchestration software already had an option to enable Datadog collection. Once the data is in place, you need to figure out what metrics are relevant. Datadog has a number of pre-built dashboards tweaked for popular software systems. If you are using something homegrown, they can provide recommendations and optimizations after enough data has been ingested. API and documentation are top notch and we were able to build integrations quite easily.

Ulemper:

Datadog is purely cloud-based system so there's no on-prem option, only SaaS. Depending on your company, this may be a deal-breaker since all of your metrics data is hosted in the cloud. Since it's a SaaS based service, it won't be easy to move data to another service. Occasionally web UI will bog down but it's fairly performant for the most part.

Mostly good

Kommentarer: We needed a general SIEM specifically with Dashboards for management auditing. The Azure Security Dashboard ticks that checkbox, but I do think it could be improved.

Fordeler:

Multiple tools / functions we needed provided by one service.

Ulemper:

Some services need additional development/features. Specifically I would like to replace our Site24x7 SLA reports with DataDog SLO monitoring / reports, but features and functionality are not there yet. We have also had less than stelar experience with DataDog support, basically being non-responsive.

Awesome application

Fordeler:

I liked the fact that Datadog is extremely user-friendly, making it easy to set up and use. It also provides a great variety of features and integrations that offer real-time monitoring, alerts and analytics. The detailed metrics and reporting make it easy to identify and track performance issues, and the visualizations provide a great way to quickly understand performance trends.

Ulemper:

My least favorite thing about Datadog is the high cost associated with the service.
