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."Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the elastic container service."
"Datadog's log aggregation is really helpful since it lets me and every other engineer on my team login, view, and share logs when we need to debug our application."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the APM."
"It has a high-level insight into the infrastructure model of the application and provides important detailed data on the host and metrics, which is the main concern of our customers."
"I have found the logging and tracing features the most valuable."
"The service catalog helped improve our organization by giving a good view of the flow for our microservices applications."
"We integrate our application logs. It is great to be able to tie our metrics and our traces together."
"The ability to send notifications based on metadata from the monitor is helpful."
"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."
"Datadog does not have the feature where you can monitor external websites or check the SSL secure for websites."
"I want to applaud the efforts in making the UI extremely usable and approachable. My suggestion would be to take another look at how the menu structure is put together, however. Even after using the platform mostly every day for months, I still find myself trying to find a service or feature in the menus."
"The product could be improved by providing remote control to agents, enabling them to execute automation and collections without requiring another automation tool or integration."
"I'm still exploring the trial version, and it is fine. One thing that I haven't been able to figure out is how to retrieve a report. This is something that could be improved. I probably need to navigate to a place to access the reports."
"To be very fair, I haven't had enough experience with Datadog to pick out improvements."
"We need more integration functionality, including certain metrics integration."
"Since the Datadog platform has so many separate features, solving so many use cases, there are often inconsistencies in feature availability and interoperability between products."
"One thing we have run into is that it is so easy to add monitoring that we turn on things without really understanding the costs."
