"The full stack of integrations made it easier to monitor the different technologies and platform providers, including Software as a Service providers, that otherwise would need a lot of work and customization to be able to see what is happening."

"The visibility that it provides is valuable. It is helping in being proactive around incident management. It is helping us to be able to get more visibility into our customers' applications so that we can assist them at the application layer. We also provide them the infrastructure from an AWS standpoint. We are able to make sure that our customers are aware of certain critical things around the analytical piece of either the network or the application. We're able to call customers before they even know about the issue. From there, we can start putting together some change management processes and help them a bit."

"The dashboard needs to improve."
"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"To be very fair, I haven't had enough experience with Datadog to pick out improvements."
"There are things about it that we would like to be fixed, such as it is taking averages of average. This results in data that we don't expect."
"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."
"The error traceability is an area that can be improved."
"We need a lot of modules since we collect all data logs from all operating systems."
"Could be a little more user friendly."
"Datadog could have a better business analysis module."
