"Datadog has proven to be easy to set up and legible for both development and operational teams."

We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."

"We need a lot of modules since we collect all data logs from all operating systems."
"The pricing should be less of a surprise."
"I'm not sure if Datadog can monitor K8s deployments in real-time. For instance, being able to see a deployment step by step visually. This would be helpful if there were any incidents during the deployment."

"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
