Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The solution has offered increased visibility via logging APM, metrics, RUM, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboards that are provided out of the box, as well as ones we were able to configure."
"I really enjoy the RUM monitoring features of Datadog. It allows us to monitor user behavior in a way we couldn't before."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the APM."
"The flexibility to create notebooks and dashboards and fully customize them gives us a lot of power to track the exact services and endpoints we are working on."
"The installation step is pretty straightforward."
"I don't have to worry about upgrades with the AWS version."
"I have found the logging and tracing features the most valuable."
"For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out."
"The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The incident management beta looks promising, but it is still missing the ability to automatically create incidents based on certain alerts."
"Delta traces on the Golang profiler are extremely expensive concerning memory utilization."
"The way data is represented can be limiting. When I first tried it out a long time ago, you could graph a metric and another metric, and they'd overlay, but you couldn't take the ratio between the two."
"It seems that admin cost control granularity is an afterthought."
"Datadog does not have the feature where you can monitor external websites or check the SSL secure for websites."
"The pricing model could be simplified as it feels a bit outdated, especially when you look at the billing model of compute instances vs the containers instances."
"At times, it can be hard to generate metrics out of logs."
"The FinOps needs improvement."
"The GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI."
