Datadog is mainly used to set up alerts and thresholds to monitor real-time metrics and checks.
Integrating Datadog with other platforms has made our monitoring processes a bit easier. It's not super simple, but it's manageable.
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.
I have been using the product for a year.
My company has 50 users for Datadog.
The tool's deployment is difficult and time-consuming.
If you're thinking about using Datadog for the first time, I suggest getting some basic training in data operations. It'll help you navigate Datadog more easily.
Learning it for the first time is not overly difficult, but it's also not very easy.
I would rate the tool a seven out of ten. While it's a useful tool, we've experienced some issues that haven't been resolved yet. Additionally, setting up dashboards and utilizing all the features requires some training.
