"APM is great and has provided low-effort out-of-the-box observability for various services."
"Overall, the Data UI and the usability of customer features continue to improve."
"Datadog documentation on web pages has improved a lot and is pretty easy to follow and find."
"Its integration definitely stands out. It provides seamless monitoring of all our systems, services, apps, and whatever else we secure and monitor. Visualizations have become simpler with dashboards. We are getting visibility into systems, services, and apps stack through a single pane of glass, which is good. We are able to put logs in context."
"Thanks to the logs, we manage to make better reports through Jira and also to trace the request with more facility than we would be able to do otherwise."
"The tools are powerful and intuitive to set up."
"Datadog provides tracing and logging, whereas Dynatrace focuses on tracing, and Splunk is more of a logging tool. Datadog's advantage is that we don't need two tools."
"The network map is crucial in identifying bottlenecks and determining what needs more attention."
"It would be beneficial to have some level of customization available in the managed service, tailored to the specific use cases of the end users."
"The on-premise version is very difficult to upgrade."
"The FinOps needs improvement."
"We'd like Datadog to make the log storage cheaper."
"Lately, chat support has a longer waiting time."
"One thing we have run into is that it is so easy to add monitoring that we turn on things without really understanding the costs."
"The solution needs to integrate AI tools."
"Their security features could be improved. We looked at their Security Monitoring feature but it was early in its development. Datadog are just getting into the security space so I'm sure this will improve in the future."
"I would like the tooling to have better integration in Slack, specifically sending out reminders to the relevant people to take breaks, do a retrospective, and specify with emojis which messages to log."
