Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The initial setup was fairly easy."
"The dashboards and the performance of the software have been great."
"The visibility that it provides is valuable. It is helping in being proactive around incident management. It is helping us to be able to get more visibility into our customers' applications so that we can assist them at the application layer. We also provide them the infrastructure from an AWS standpoint. We are able to make sure that our customers are aware of certain critical things around the analytical piece of either the network or the application. We're able to call customers before they even know about the issue. From there, we can start putting together some change management processes and help them a bit."
"Sometimes it's more user friendly for development teams. There are some parts of Datadog that are more understandable for development teams. For example, the APM in Datadog works more manually and works like the tools in New Relic or Grafana, or Elastic. It is easier to understand for software development teams."
"We can handle debugging and find out why things are breaking in our applications."
"The observability on offer is the most useful aspect of the product."
"Straightforward to integrate and automate."
"The solution has improved the organization by providing good insights into app performance and offering good dashboards."
"It is great that creating an incident is possible from Slack while having all the relevant data in Datadog."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"The on-premise version is very difficult to upgrade."
"It would also be nice if we had more insight into our own usage of Datadog (agents and custom metrics). They provide a usage page which does help, but it is not in real-time."
"I've found that the documentation is lacking in certain regards."
"It would be great if usage metrics were automatically created and we could create custom metrics, instead we ended up building some of our own stuff to track and alert on our own usage."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
"We'd like Datadog to make the log storage cheaper."
"One area where I was really looking for improvement was the CSPM product line. I had really wanted to have team-level visibility for findings, since the team managing the resources has much more context and ability to resolve the issue, as the service owner. However, this has been added to the announcement in a recent keynote."
"The product needs a better Datadog agent installation."
