"It has saved us a lot of trouble in implementation."
"The infrastructure monitoring capabilities are really valuable. You can just log on and see everything that is happening within an IT environment."
"The RUM solution has improved our ability to triage faster and hand more capabilities to our customer support."
"Datadog helps us detect issues early on and helps in troubleshooting."
"Their interface is probably one of the easiest things to use because it lets non-developers and non-engineers quickly get access to metrics and pull business value out of them. We could put together dashboards and give it to people who are non-technical, then they can see the state of the world."
"The network map is crucial in identifying bottlenecks and determining what needs more attention."
"Datadog has proven to be easy to set up and legible for both development and operational teams."

"I think better access to their engineers when we have a problem could be better."
"While I like the ease of use, when compared with Tenable Nessus they could still improve their usability."
"Once Datadog has gained wide adoption, it can often be overwhelming to both know and understand where to go to find answers to questions."
"Datadog needs more local Asia-Pacific support, and if they don't have a SaaS solution in Asia-Pacific, they should offer an on-prem version. I'm told that's not possible."
"The sheer amount of products that are included can be overwhelming."
"Their security features could be improved. We looked at their Security Monitoring feature but it was early in its development. Datadog are just getting into the security space so I'm sure this will improve in the future."
"Datadog has a lot of features kind of cramped into one dashboard. It's quite hard to get around what feature does exactly what. There was a steep learning curve, trying to navigate through menus."
"We need more integration functionality, including certain metrics integration."
"SolarWinds Log Analyzer should deliver more integrated products so you can manage the console and easily configure the solution."
