"The most valuable feature is the dashboards that are provided out of the box, as well as ones we were able to configure."
"Datadog has proven to be easy to set up and legible for both development and operational teams."
"It is easy to implement and scale applications with standardized visibility, monitoring and alerting"
"The ability to easily drill down into log queries quickly and efficiently has helped us to resolve several critical incidents."
"The interface and the integrations make it so easy to connect to the cloud or to the on-premise environment."
"The solution has helped out organization gain improved visibility."
"By moving to Datadog, we did not need to manage our own monitoring infrastructure anymore."
"The stability has been very good over the years."
"Automates processes and allows reports and statistics to improve the speed at which changes and assets are managed."
"The pricing should be less of a surprise."
"Datadog has a lot of features kind of cramped into one dashboard. It's quite hard to get around what feature does exactly what. There was a steep learning curve, trying to navigate through menus."
"Datadog could always lower the price!"
"Datadog has a lot of documentation, but a lot of that documentation assumes you know how the service works, which can lead to confusion."
"The ease of implementation needs improvement."
"Sometimes, it takes a long time to load the dashboard if we have many charts."
"It can have a more modernized pricing mechanism. We're actually working with them to figure out how to become more modular and have a better and more modernized pricing mechanism. The issue with Datadog is that you have to buy the whole suite of different products, and you kind of get stuck in the old utilization of 40% of their suite. Most organizations today break down between application development, networking, and security. Therefore, there should be a way to break down different modules into just app dev, infosec, networking, etc. Customers have various needs across their business lines, and sometimes, they're just not willing to have tools that they're not using 100%. AppDynamics is probably a little bit better in terms of being modular."
"Datadog lacks a deeper application-level insight. Their competitors had eclipsed them in offering ET functionality that was important to us. That's why we stopped using it and switched to New Relic. Datadog's price is also high."
"The solution should offer better integration with other tools from a service management perspective."
"Product documentation is lacking, and sometimes, incorrect. Having better documentation will allow business analysts and data center personnel to rely on the Micro Focus help desk less."
