"The most valuable features have been: Sharable dashboards, TimeBoards, dogstatsd API, Slack Integration, Event logging API. CloudTrail Events, Tags, alerts, and anomaly detection. EBS Volume Snapshot Age, which they added upon request."
"We enjoy the multistep API tests."
"The solution has offered increased visibility via logging APM, metrics, RUM, etc."
"The RUM solution has improved our ability to triage faster and hand more capabilities to our customer support."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."

"To be very fair, I haven't had enough experience with Datadog to pick out improvements."
