"The many dozens of integrations that the solution brings out of the box are excellent."
"It lets us react more quickly to things going wrong. Whereas before, it might have been 30 minutes to an hour before we noticed something going on, we will know within a minute or two if something is off, which will let us essentially get something back up and running faster for our customers, which is revenue."

"We need more advanced querying against logs."
"Datadog could have a better business analysis module."
"We have asked technical support questions, and sometimes they don't get back to us right away. Or when they do, it is not the right answer."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Its settings should be improved for a better understanding of billing. They should also provide some alerts when there is an increase in the usage. For example, if there is 20% more increase from one week to another, the customer should get an alert."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
