Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc."
"Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."
"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."
"The ease with which we can filter, use metrics, and give accounts to customers, then let the customer filter, set up metrics, and alerts. This has been a big win for us."
"Even if we don't end up using Datadog, it revealed problems and optimizations to us that weren't obvious before."
"APM is great and has provided low-effort out-of-the-box observability for various services."
"Datadog has so far been a breeze to use and set up."
"The integration into AWS is key as well as our software is currently bound to AWS."
"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)."
"Dashboards and their versatility are among the most valuable features."
"The CCM, Workflows, Logs, APM, and RUM are all useful aspects of the solution."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."
"It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features."
"We have recently had a number of issues with stability and delays on logging, monitoring, metric evaluation, and alerts."
"The dashboard could be improved. It would be helpful to get a view of specific things that we need to monitor for our application."
"This service could be less costly."
"Even though it is powerful on its own, the UI-based design lacks elegance, efficiency, and complexity."
"The pricing model could be simplified as it feels a bit outdated, especially when you look at the billing model of compute instances vs the containers instances."
"When it comes to storing the logs with Datadog, I'm not sure why it costs so much to store gigabytes or terabytes of information when it's a fraction of the cost to do so myself."
"Federated views for Datadog dashboards are critical as large companies utilize multiple instances of the product and cannot link the metrics or correlate the metrics together. This stunts the usage of Datadog."
"Datadog isn't as mature as some of the established players like Dynatrace or Splunk. It's a new product, so they are constantly releasing new features, and I don't have much to complain about."
