Rich feature set, very reliable, but enigmatic UI

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?

Datadog has a very rich feature set compared to its competitors. Although it has a wide UI and needs some hands on experience to fully utilise its features for debugging & network monitoring, but datadog almost has everything you would need from infrastructure team's POV. Additionally, unlike many of its competitors, datadog also has live traffic monitoring for proactive monitoring.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Datadog has been reliable to use for monitoring & there are 2 favourite aspects for me - 1 is the live tail feature to track incoming traffic & network requests in real time. 2 is the Dashboards & custom events feature to create & monitor user defined metrics/alerts

What do you dislike most about this product?

The UI itself is very wide & could feel very heavy sometimes, given that there are so many features it provides, I believe there should be a better way to make its users adapt faster.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

A hands on training with datadog is very important for all the users. It's the only way to get confident with its UI & make the most of its features.

Pros

  • Unique Features
  • Efficient Service
  • Includes Product Enhancements
  • Security Protects
