"For three to four months, we have been experiencing real-time delays. For example, if we're monitoring incoming traffic, the real-time status should be displayed up to a certain point. However, due to delays or issues with Datadog, the real-time data might only be updated at an earlier time. We are experiencing consistent delays in data updates from Datadog, with the most recent data often being delayed by about an hour. This issue has been ongoing for the past four months."
"The error traceability is an area that can be improved."
"Lately, chat support has a longer waiting time."
"We'd like Datadog to make the log storage cheaper."
"Some of the interface is still confusing to use."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
"Datadog could be improved if it could detect other software in a container or server."
"The more tools that they can build that allow you to run AWX playbooks, or other similar fixes, would benefit clients greatly."
"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
