"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."
"It is easy to implement and scale applications with standardized visibility, monitoring and alerting"
"Datadog has helped us a ton by allowing us to set up a multitude of easily configurable alarms across our tech stack and infrastructure."
"Its logs are most valuable."
"Since we integrated Datadog, we have had increased confidence in the quality of our service, and we had an easier time increasing our delivery velocity."
"The ease with which we can filter, use metrics, and give accounts to customers, then let the customer filter, set up metrics, and alerts. This has been a big win for us."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."

"The solution should provide alerts for cloud outages."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"Datadog has a lot of documentation, but a lot of that documentation assumes you know how the service works, which can lead to confusion."
"Delta traces on the Golang profiler are extremely expensive concerning memory utilization."
"It can have an artificial intelligence component. Even though I can seamlessly look at end-to-end security, it would be better to have alerts and notifications powered by an AI engine. I am not sure if they have an AI component. We have not reached out to them or looked at it, but this is something that I keep on talking about within our company in terms of features. Such a feature would be good to have, and it would further optimize my Security Ops team's abilities."

"There is occasional UI slowness and bugs."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."

"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
