Best APM tool that will get you up and monitoring
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?
Datadog is best available APM tool in market that can get you up and running for initial set up. Most of the configuration and dashboards are pretty intuitive to keep building on top of it. That's how even if you don't have 100% certain about what metrics you need to monitor Datadog gets you almost there. It's customisable dashboards are helpful for new end users to play around and learn to build/configure monitors specific to them/team. IM alert integrations are also pretty straight forward than it's competitors.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Datadog keeps improving as I write this review. That's the best thing I like about DD. Some of the legacy features are it's quick first set up learning path where they particularly invest engineering hours to make them as simple yet effective as possible. It stores data for a long period of time so that ypu can perform Y2Y comparison, history trend analysis. And some of the recent additions are related metrics, ML dashboards etc
What do you dislike most about this product?
The database agent set up are still bit of a hassle when you are working with complex set of multi tenant database architecture. Also it's not very clear on how their ML works from documentations to troubleshoot incase of working session . The product layout becomes complicated as multiple teams/departments keep adding new yet similar dashboards. It's kind of a shared responsibility but given the reputation DD I was expecting better features in keeping things clean after a huge list of dashboard hazard. A unified Datadog macro metric would be nice where other APM tools are investing heavily.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
For a product infrastructure where you need less learning curve for your team, almost 0 IT skils (unless want to configure it as IaaS) and fastest initial set up datadog is the APM for you. Even for a complex monitoring solution Datadog is right up there with tons of features and ML suggestions.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product

Good data tracking tool
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?
By utilizing Datadog, we had the option to see almost issues at the client's end a lot quicker than previously.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
We use Datadog to monitor the performance of our applications, detect problems with deployments, and monitor the performance of our mobile applications. We have been able to very quickly identify parts of our application that are not scaling correctly and address them before they become a problem. With DataDog, we are monitoring the entire RestEndpoint and its behavior. We know which endpoint of an application has been called most frequently, and if there is an interruption in any of the endpoints, we are alerted based on the configured threshold value.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It becomes tricky to find the data as there are a lot of different data tracked. Usually, it takes a bit of time to fully understand how features work but this is not a big deal since there are plenty of academic courses now.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Must try if you need data monitoring system.
