"It has empowered all our platform engineers with a very powerful and easy to use monitoring system."

"Integrating Datadog with other platforms has made our monitoring processes a bit easier. It's not super simple, but it's manageable."
"SolarWinds Log Analyzer works for specific conditions, like when someone needs to monitor a specific log or do specific actions."
"Federated views for Datadog dashboards are critical as large companies utilize multiple instances of the product and cannot link the metrics or correlate the metrics together. This stunts the usage of Datadog."
"It would also be nice if we had more insight into our own usage of Datadog (agents and custom metrics). They provide a usage page which does help, but it is not in real-time."
"It could use some additional features when working with metrics like Grafana or like New Relic has. Datadog does not use library technologies like Dynatrace does. Datadog has machine learning too, but it does not have this option in all layers of monitoring like infrastructure service process in applications."
"The product needs a better Datadog agent installation."
"They should continue expanding and integrating with more third-party apps."
"It does not have the best interface."
"We need a lot of modules since we collect all data logs from all operating systems."
"We need to learn more about the session reply feature inside of DD."
"SolarWinds Log Analyzer should deliver more integrated products so you can manage the console and easily configure the solution."
