We are not sure yet in terms of scalability. The off-prem solution seems to scale well (although had issues with the training slowing down).

It seems like it'll scale well. We're automating it with Ansible scripts and service now so that when we build a new virtual machine it will automatically install Datadog on that box.

The scalability of the solution was good. Being a cloud solution, if there was an issue with the scalability it would be easily fixed with an update.
We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization.
View full review »I was only using Datadog to monitor on a small scale.
Datadog is a highly scalable solution because it is a SaaS solution. Having this solution be a SaaS is one of its most appealing attributes. When the vendor is going to manage data scaling and everything for you, you are only going to use the solution as per your requirements. Autoscaling is a great feature that they have.

We are a unit within a much larger entity that is using Datadog. It can scale up to meet your needs.
View full review »The solution scales very well on technical aspects, being able to ingest large quantities of data from many services. However, the pricing often doesn't scale naturally, and effort has to be put in to keep ongoing costs at a reasonable amount.

Each client has its own instance. We do not share instances with multiple customers. There's usually between 20 and 30, depending on the customer.

IT Test Manager at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees
I would say that the amount that we are monitoring is not that large and we've never had any scalability issues. We have around 50 users in our department.
If you do not need 100% of data such as logs, APM traces, etc., this scales well. It does not scale as well if you want 100% of your logs indexed. You should understand any other usage-based bills before using any part of their service as it is very easy to run up a large bill.
The performance of the system scales very well, and host monitoring and APM are relatively cheap.

It has always scaled for us. Cost scales up too, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. It's reasonable for what they're providing. I haven't had any concerns about scaling.
We use between a 100 to 500 servers at any given point in time.

It may be scalable. However, we haven't actually tested anything.
We have six or seven people on the solution at any given time. They're there to handle fixes or do an analysis of logs or monitor the infrastructure.
I'm not sure if we plan to increase usage. We are not growing very rapidly. We're just preparing our environment for the upcoming year.

As long as you're willing to pay for 100% but utilize only 40%, it can scale and do anything you want. In an organization, its users are usually the app group, the security group, and the network group.

We haven’t had a problem with scalability. It’s been good.
We have 25 to 30 users on it currently. Our entire organization is under 60 people. Although not everyone is on it, a lot of our staff are. The sales, engineering, and customer success teams are all on it.
We may increase usage. No doubt that will come naturally with time. We’re hiring more people, and likely new hires will use it.

It's a very scalable product. Right now we are using the SaaS version, so we don't need to worry about the infrastructure or whatever is needed for the platform it is running on. All the capturing of data is sent to the SaaS product and that can be as scaled as needed.

We have not done a full evaluation yet, but given that it is cloud-based, DataDog has to be scalable.
View full review »For everyday use, it's adequate, but for very specific tasks, not so much. There was a time where I had to do a big export and as expected, the API is somewhat limited. Since it was a one-time task, it was not a big deal but if this was a regular task, I wouldn't be happy about it.

Scalability has not been a concern at all. We have had customers with steady state loads: low and high. Our smallest customer is a friends and family startup which has about three instances. We have steady state loads which are more than 500. Then, we have customers with two instances all summer, but do seasonal work in the winter and can scale to more than 1000 instances.
We have never noticed a hiccup on Datadog with any of our scaling. It has always grown to meet our program.

It pretty much vacuums up any information that we throw at it. So, stability hasn't been an issue.
It scales depending on the time of year. Right now, we have about 25 to 50 instances, and in each instance there are probably five different containers, not including logging for all those containers.
