Cloud cost observability has transformed multi-cloud savings and now drives accountable spending
In terms of improvements needed for Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform, I think mostly if we add more AI features and improve broader cost service integration, including deeper integration with more cloud-native third-party tools and support for additional SaaS cost management, it could enhance the platform. We can also add more customizable dashboards for personalized KPIs to enhance visibility, along with providing role-based views for finance and engineering executives. Lastly, enhancing forecasting with AI-based predictions, automation remediation, and more granular cost insights would be beneficial, along with adding multi-cost governance and user training or adoption tutorials to aid new users. Additionally, the best thing would be to add playbooks, tutorials, and FinOps guidelines where new users in the industry can easily understand what we are using and how to use it. Adding multi-cloud governance capability would also be greatly appreciated and helpful for any organization. I chose 8 out of 10 primarily because there are more areas to add on. I believe Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform can reach 10 out of 10, but it needs to improve in specific areas such as global governance across regions and cloud providers since larger organizations seek control over financial factors. This is crucial as significant costs can increase operational overhead, prompting them to look for certain features. If basic training, AI automation integration, and multi-cloud scaling are included in Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform, it could definitely improve and reach 10 out of 10. Regarding any additional improvements needed for Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform that I haven't mentioned, it would help us greatly if we could receive optimization support from Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform, as the current support model is something that could improve for future users and organizations.

Unified monitoring has improved incident response and now reduces root cause analysis time
One area where Datadog can be improved is around alert quality. In the beginning, it tends to generate many alerts, and without proper tuning, many of them are not actionable. It would help if there were more built-in guidance or smarter defaults to reduce noise. Another improvement area is cost visibility and control. As log and metric ingestion increases, it has not always been straightforward to track which data is driving the cost. More granular and real-time cost insights would make it easier to manage. Additionally, while the dashboards are flexible, navigating and organizing them at scale can become slightly difficult. Better structuring or management options would help in larger environments.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I value how the prompt-based root cause analysis works for my team because it creates reports in a manner that is understandable for a specific role, with details tailored to that role and how they view the information."
"If you are figuring out how your resource costs can be saved through real-time basis analysis, Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform is a really good tool."
"Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform is one of the best tools we are currently using in our organization."
"Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform has positively impacted my organization by reducing my cloud costing significantly."
"Every squad is now confident in their ability to quickly identify and diagnose issues when they arise."
"We are loving the tool; it is great to have all those insights in one place."
"The ease of correcting these dashboards and widgets when needed is amazing."
"The RUM solution has improved our ability to triage faster and hand more capabilities to our customer support."
"The service catalog is very useful; we use this type of offering for our microservices applications, and it gives a good view of flow, which is a must when we have different developers working on different services, and having the trace and log features has been useful in order to locate the microservice for the on-call person."
"Log analytics give us a powerful mechanism for error tracking, research, and analysis."
"Sometimes it's more user friendly for development teams, and there are parts of Datadog that are more understandable for development teams; for example, the APM in Datadog works more manually and works like the tools in New Relic, Grafana, or Elastic, making it easier to understand for software development teams."
"Our teams use Datadog more than they used their old observability tool—they're more production-aware, conscious of how their changes are impacting customers, how the changes they make to their application speed up or slow down their app, and the overall request flow."
 

Cons

"I chose seven out of 10 because there are a lot of tools already available in the market, such as Zero Cloud, and both AWS and Azure also provide their own costing report portals."
"I think Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform can be improved by adding more agents, although it already has many effective agents for prompting."
"However, if your workloads are frequent, it may not be needed."
"Regarding any additional improvements needed for Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform that I haven't mentioned, it would help us greatly if we could receive optimization support from Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform, as the current support model is something that could improve for future users and organizations."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"It could use some additional features when working with metrics like Grafana or like New Relic has. Datadog does not use library technologies like Dynatrace does. Datadog has machine learning too, but it does not have this option in all layers of monitoring like infrastructure service process in applications."
"Datadog is expensive."
"I am not satisfied with its licensing. Its payment is based on the exported data, and there was an explosion of the data for three or four weeks."
"I'm still exploring the trial version, and it is fine. One thing that I haven't been able to figure out is how to retrieve a report. This is something that could be improved. I probably need to navigate to a place to access the reports."
"We had limitations around RUM and our feature flag provider in Datadog because it's a back-end forward feature flag usage in our Next.js application."
"Ingesting data from various sources to monitor the log metrics of the system can always improve so that, if something goes wrong, the right teams are alerted."
"Datadog's roadmap can be a bit unpredictable at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"My advice is to really keep an eye on your overage costs, as they can spiral really fast."
"It has a module-based pricing model."
"If you do your homework, you'll find that if you're really concerned with cost, it's good."
"The price of Datadog is reasonable. Other solutions are more expensive, such as AppDynamics."
"At my last company, we did see ROI, specifically around response time. We could get to mission critical things that were down and losing revenue on immediately. So, the product paid itself back."
"The cost is high and this can be justified if the scale of the environment is big."
"Pricing is somewhat affordable compared to other solutions but in order to really lower the costs of other products you need to plan very carefully your resources usage, otherwise, it can get expensive real quick."
"It costs the same amount it would if we were hosting it ourselves, so we are incredibly happy with the cost."
