We performed a comparison between Datadog and PagerDuty Operations Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two AIOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."If we have a large load for users using our basic Datadog, it will immediately fire off an alert notifying us either something's wrong or not."
"I have found the logging and tracing features the most valuable."
"It has enhanced the performance of my team."
"I find the greatest feature is being able to search across logs from various microservices."
"Datadog's seamless integration with Slack and PagerDuty helped us to receive alerts right to the most common notification methods we use (our mobile devices and Slack)."
"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."
"Datadog is providing efficiency in the products we develop for the wireless device engineering department."
"It is easy to implement and scale applications with standardized visibility, monitoring and alerting"
"The product easily integrates with other solutions."
"PagerDuty is very stable and very reliable."
"A cool feature is that it helps us to understand the flow of the alert. If the alert was coming to the current on-call and he didn't catch the call or didn't notice it for any reason, it starts being escalated automatically, according to the escalation schedule, or to other teammates. You can see the flow very easily on your phone or via the website, if you want to do a post-mortem."
"The alerts are immediate in this solution, which allows us to respond to errors quickly."
"The initial setup is a simple process."
"The inbound integrations that PagerDuty provides with most of the DevOps tools are valuable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"PagerDuty's best features are the dedicated application that allows me to reach my engineers immediately and the ability to directly assign specific tasks to individuals and have them report back."
"We would really like to see more from the Service Catalog."
"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."
"Even though it is powerful on its own, the UI-based design lacks elegance, efficiency, and complexity."
"The dashboard could be improved. It would be helpful to get a view of specific things that we need to monitor for our application."
"The FinOps needs improvement."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
"We have contact with many customers that cover many areas, so we have cases where the infrastructure administration could be improved."
"I often have issues with the UI in my browser."
"The On-Call Teams feature could be better in terms of levels of conditions related to which team or member should get the responsibility of handling a matter or incident."
"They could include incident merging and alert grouping features in the product."
"Because of the way you have to structure the rosters, if an engineer has to go on leave (or something), you can't just go in and reassign/take this person out of all of the different rosters that they're in. You have to go into each of the rosters and take them out. There might be a roster for business hours, after hours rotation, and monitoring deployments. Each time we need to take an engineer out of the pool, e.g., if they're sick or on leave, then we have to go and touch all of those rosters, updating and replacing them. Whereas, if we could just take the person out and have it automatically fill in the rostering, then that would make life a lot easier for managing it."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"It is a very non-customizable product, so you cannot add things like root cause analysis or the classification of incidents based on the area where you are getting more incidents. For example, if you're getting a lot of database issues, that may be an are you want to probe."
"The solution's analytics are okay. I don't think the features, at this point, give you a lot of insights. We have actually been trying to get insights from it but it hasn't really given us a lot of extra points to explore. We were looking at the number of alerts to see where many of the alerts were coming from. We never managed to get many insights on this."
"The product can be improved by including out-of-the-box integration with other standard tools used in our fields such as Confluence, and Jira."
"Something that needs to be improved, is adding multilingual support."
