Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"We like the distributed tracing and flame graphs for debugging. This has been invaluable for us during periods of high traffic or red alert conditions."
"They have a very good foundation in capturing metrics, logs, and traces. It's a very nice tool for that and it allows you to apply these monitoring tools in almost any technology."
"This is definitely a good product and I would consider them one of the leaders within the application monitoring and cloud monitoring space."
"Because of our client focus, it is easy for us to sell. This is because it is easy to use and easy to set up."
"The solution allows flexibility and heightened observability for presenting data, creating indicators, and setting service-level objectives."
"Datadog dashboards are pretty great."
"The most valuable aspect is the APM which can monitor the metrics and latencies."
"I like that you can build out a dashboard pretty quickly. There are some things that come out of the box that you don't really need to do, which is great because they're default settings."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"Additional metrics should be included."
"I think better access to their engineers when we have a problem could be better."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
"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."
"The product could do better with its notifications."
"The way data is represented can be limiting. When I first tried it out a long time ago, you could graph a metric and another metric, and they'd overlay, but you couldn't take the ratio between the two."
"They should continue expanding and integrating with more third-party apps."
"While I like the ease of use, when compared with Tenable Nessus they could still improve their usability."
