"The simplicity of the dashboard is very good."
"The stability of New Relic APM is very good."
"The breakdown of the response time of different components and getting in-depth details of the slow component are the most valuable features. It is easy to use, and it gets the job done."
"The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly."
"It does everything we wanted it to do."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"The solution has made it easier for us to trace the problems that we have with our requests and to monitor the timing of each step in each request we do in our endpoints."
"I have found some of the most valuable features to be the way things all come together that gives us a point of view that is useful. The panel is very beautiful and customizable."

"The most valuable feature of Datadog is its logs."
"Datadog is constantly adding new features."
"Datadog has given us near-live visibility across our entire cloud platform."

"I like that you can build out a dashboard pretty quickly. There are some things that come out of the box that you don't really need to do, which is great because they're default settings."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards and the reporting."
"I haven't come across any features that are lacking."
"How granular I could go down at looking at certain data, especially related to the operations, is limited."
"It would be nice if there were pre-made dashboards."
"There has been some problem with the agent, and it is just not working well. It is not able to record information with the application server. They have been able to fix the issue, but it took quite a long time. This is the main issue in the APM products and also in New Relic. The mobile application monitoring has been pretty difficult to set up and also quite expensive. It should be a little bit easier and cheaper. Because it is pretty difficult and expensive, many customers don't take it."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"They should bring the pricing down to be more competitive."
"The older view is much better than the new view that they have. We'd like to go back to that previous version. The user interface just isn't as nice as it used to be."
"The user interface is sometimes kind of confusing to understand. It's not very user-friendly."
"The error traceability is an area that can be improved."
"Datadog could improve the flexibility with AI and ML concepts. This will allow customers to be more leveraged towards publishing."
"I found the solution to be stable, I did not experience any bugs or glitches. However, some of the managing team did."
"Could be a little more user friendly."
"The incident management beta looks promising, but it is still missing the ability to automatically create incidents based on certain alerts."
"More pre-configured "Monitor Alerts" would be helpful."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"I think better access to their engineers when we have a problem could be better."
