Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ingestion points are unlimited and support customization. We haven't had anything yet that we haven't been able to integrate with it."
"Its logs are most valuable."
"The solution has improved the organization by providing good insights into app performance and offering good dashboards."
"The web app has a real-time support chat window in which a support engineer is chatting with you within a minute."
"Even if we don't end up using Datadog, it revealed problems and optimizations to us that weren't obvious before."
"The service catalog helped improve our organization by giving a good view of the flow for our microservices applications."
"We like the distributed tracing and flame graphs for debugging. This has been invaluable for us during periods of high traffic or red alert conditions."
"We have been able to set very specific CPU and memory alerts, at the very base level, then we started to pull real business value, like 99th percentile response rates for our API calls."
"It supports numerous platforms."
"DX allows you to customize and gives you a high degree of control."
"Actionable insight is the most valuable feature."
"The pricing is a bit confusing."
"Datadog could always lower the price!"
"We have recently had a number of issues with stability and delays on logging, monitoring, metric evaluation, and alerts."
"We need to learn more about the session reply feature inside of DD."
"Graph filters for logs need to be set manually which works well for JSON but not for unstructured logs."
"The pricing model could be simplified as it feels a bit outdated, especially when you look at the billing model of compute instances vs the containers instances."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"Federated views for Datadog dashboards are critical as large companies utilize multiple instances of the product and cannot link the metrics or correlate the metrics together. This stunts the usage of Datadog."
"Old user interface and dashboards could be improved."
"DX SaaS is a latecomer to the APM market. Some things that are straightforward in Dynatrace are complicated in DX. For example, upgrading the agents is a seamless process in Dynatrace, but it's a pain in DX SaaS. You should be able to upgrade in the Application Command Center. However, it is not working correctly."
"The ability to scale presents a challenge as the cost of handling vast amounts of data in the cloud must be taken into account."
