It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop.

It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."

"The technical support needs improvement."
"We need to learn more about the session reply feature inside of DD."
"It seems that admin cost control granularity is an afterthought."
"When the logs are too big, and Datadog splits them, the JSON format breaks and it is not so useful for us."
"At the beginning, when we started throwing logs at it, there was a bit of hiccup. However, this was during their beta period, so hiccups were expected."
"Datadog has a lot of documentation, but a lot of that documentation assumes you know how the service works, which can lead to confusion."
"I found the documentation can sometimes be confusing."
"The error traceability is an area that can be improved."
"The product could do better with its notifications."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."

"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
