Single pane of glass, easy to share dashboards, and good for monitoring
We've had some issues where we had Datadog automatically turned on in AWS regions that we weren't using, which incurred a small but steady cost that amounted to tens of thousands of dollars spent over a few weeks. I wish there was a global setting that lets an admin restrict which regions DD is turned on in as a default setup step. Sometimes, the APM service dashboard link isn't sharable. I click something in the service catalog, and on that service's APM default view, I try to share a link to that with a teammate, and they reach a blank or error screen. I wish there was more organization and detail in the suggestions when I use the query editor. I'm never quite sure when the autofill dropdown shows up if I'm seeing some custom tag or some default property, so I have to know exactly what I'm looking for in order to build a chart. It's hard to navigate and explore using the query autofill suggestions without knowing exactly what tag to look for. It's been a bit hard to understand how data gets sampled or how many data points a particular dashboard value is using. We've had questions over the RUM metrics that we see and we had to ask for help with how values are calculated, bin sizes, etc to get confidence in our data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The machine learning feature is valuable."
"The dashboards provide a comprehensive and visually intuitive way to monitor all our key data points in real-time, making it easier to spot trends and potential issues."
"The integration into AWS is key as well as our software is currently bound to AWS."
"It has provided visibility with ease of implementation and allowed multiple teams to quickly onboard it."
"Session recordings have been the most valuable to me as it helps me gain insights into user behaviour at scale."
"The network map is crucial in identifying bottlenecks and determining what needs more attention."
"The most valuable aspects of the product include the APM and profiler."
"It is easy to navigate the menu and create tests."
"Synthetic testing has been a game-changer, allowing us to catch potential problems before they impact real users."
 

Cons

"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."
"I found the solution to be stable, I did not experience any bugs or glitches. However, some of the managing team did."
"It can be overwhelming for new people as it has a lot of features."
"We have recently had a number of issues with stability and delays on logging, monitoring, metric evaluation, and alerts."
"They should continue expanding and integrating with more third-party apps."
"When I started using it years ago, it had stability problems. I remember, specifically, we ran everything in Docker containers. There were some problems getting it into a Docker container with very specific memory limits."
"In terms of UI, everything is very small, which makes it quite difficult to navigate at times."
"Could be a little more user friendly."
"One area where the product could be improved is Application Performance Monitoring (APM)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Sometimes it's very hard to project how much it will cost for the monthly subscription for the next month when you add certain features. Having better visibility of the cost would give a better experience."
"The pricing and licensing through AWS Marketplace has been good. It would be nice if it was cheaper, but their pricing is reasonable for what it is. Sometimes, for their newer features, they charge as if it's fully fleshed out, even though it is a newer feature and it may have less stuff than their other items."
"This solution is budget friendly."
"My advice is to really keep an eye on your overage costs, as they can spiral really fast."
"While it is an expensive product, I would rate the pricing level at four out of five."
"The tool is open-source."
"The pricing came up a bit compared to their competitors. It is not that the price has risen, but that the competitors have gone down. They keep adding more features that I would have expected to be baked in at a more nominal price. I have been increasingly dissatisfied with the pricing, but not enough to jump ship."
"Our licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
