Datadog is vital for especially automated alerts

What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?

I make heavy use of the feature that allows automatic warnings. I frequently set them up for my clients and they are a tool that many people appreciate. Another thing I enjoy is how you can customize everything. Sometimes I would prefer tools that were easier to use, but overall I'm happy.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I really enjoy the customizable dashboards that I can save and revisit. They are very useful for getting a daily overview of the progress of a project. This technology provides me with truly unparalleled information and a degree of personalization.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It seems like I have to try really hard to get the charts to show up on every time frame I want, and then they just keep showing up. The UX should be improved and things are quite hidden.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The UX hides a lot of features, but they are really useful anyway. Dashboards and charts are, all things considered, a fantastic tool.

Pros

Continually Improving Product
Reliable
Efficient Service
Security Protects

A complete tool for real-time monitoring

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?

Our previous tool, Azure Insights, was fantastic, but was very limited in its ability to query logs, traces, SQL integration, and many other features that DataDog offers. These features, in addition to DataDog's live modes and dashboards, make troubleshooting and troubleshooting easier.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Exceptional query power, a wealth of data filtering query options, strong connection to SQL and additional databases. It fulfills the purpose. Especially when you keep an eye out for new features. In real time, we can observe product performance and identify any issues that need to be fixed.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Especially when trying to search or extract specific data, the user interface can be intimidating and disconcerting for newcomers. Not all advanced reporting and charting features have been implemented yet.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Unlike other delayed services, it is in real time. I can quickly automatically adjust the position of report components on the screen. Spreading the word is very easy.

Pros

Continually Improving Product
