"It has enhanced the performance of my team."
"The installation step is pretty straightforward."
"It brings in observability, monitoring, and alerting capabilities - all of which we need to operate at scale."
"Datadog has proven to be easy to set up and legible for both development and operational teams."
"Datadog's log aggregation is really helpful since it lets me and every other engineer on my team login, view, and share logs when we need to debug our application."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."

"Federated views for Datadog dashboards are critical as large companies utilize multiple instances of the product and cannot link the metrics or correlate the metrics together. This stunts the usage of Datadog."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
