Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It lets us react more quickly to things going wrong. Whereas before, it might have been 30 minutes to an hour before we noticed something going on, we will know within a minute or two if something is off, which will let us essentially get something back up and running faster for our customers, which is revenue."
"The most valuable aspect is the APM which can monitor the metrics and latencies."
"The tools are powerful and intuitive to set up."
"I really enjoy the RUM monitoring features of Datadog. It allows us to monitor user behavior in a way we couldn't before."
"Datadog helps us detect issues early on and helps in troubleshooting."
"Their interface is probably one of the easiest things to use because it lets non-developers and non-engineers quickly get access to metrics and pull business value out of them. We could put together dashboards and give it to people who are non-technical, then they can see the state of the world."
"The observability on offer is the most useful aspect of the product."
"We find they have a very helpful alert system."
"The solution is very stable. We never had any issues with stability."
"IBM's main value lies in its integration with its own technologies, which can be seen as a benefit in environments where IBM products are extensively used."
"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."
"We need a lot of modules since we collect all data logs from all operating systems."
"It can be overwhelming for new people as it has a lot of features."
"Datadog has a lot of features kind of cramped into one dashboard. It's quite hard to get around what feature does exactly what. There was a steep learning curve, trying to navigate through menus."
"We have recently had a number of issues with stability and delays on logging, monitoring, metric evaluation, and alerts."
"More pre-configured "Monitor Alerts" would be helpful."
"Managing dashboards as IaC is a bit hard to work out at times."
"We'd like Datadog to make the log storage cheaper."
"The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively."
"The user interface was not good."
