"The platform appeals to companies spanning many industries on a global scale."
"I have found error reporting and log centralization the most valuable features. Overall, Datadog provides a full package solution."
"The feature I have found most valuable is when I can reuse existing monitors and alerts for new dashboards."
"The ease with which we can filter, use metrics, and give accounts to customers, then let the customer filter, set up metrics, and alerts. This has been a big win for us."
"The most valuable aspect is the APM which can monitor the metrics and latencies."
"The ability to send notifications based on metadata from the monitor is helpful."
"The Datadog suite has allowed us to easily integrate log collection into all of our services and quickly detect unexpected changes in system data to declare security incidents."
"The solution's SaaS model is easy to manage and works well in single- or multi-cloud environments."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Deploying the agents is still very manual."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."

Even after using the platform mostly every day for months, I still find myself trying to find a service or feature in the menus."
"I would like testing for data in the future."
"I would love to see support for front-end and mobile applications. Right now, it is mostly all back-end stuff. Being able to do some integration with our front-end products would be awesome."

"We would really like to see more from the Service Catalog."
"More granular control over dashboard sharing. Timeboard sharing."

"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
