"The most valuable feature of Datadog is its logs."
"The ability to send notifications based on metadata from the monitor is helpful."
"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."
"Having a clear view, not only of our infrastructure but our apps and services as well, has brought a great added value to our customers."
"The fact that everything is under a single pane of glass is really valuable, as developers don't have to spend their time copying correlation IDs across tools to find what they need."
"The interface and the integrations make it so easy to connect to the cloud or to the on-premise environment."
"Sometimes it's more user friendly for development teams. There are some parts of Datadog that are more understandable for development teams. For example, the APM in Datadog works more manually and works like the tools in New Relic or Grafana, or Elastic. It is easier to understand for software development teams."
"Datadog has given us near-live visibility across our entire cloud platform."
"The most valuable feature is application performance monitoring."
"The most useful feature of this solution is tracking. When the application's traffic has been monitored it is taken from that particular application and analyzed. It is then given a live session of that particular user. For example, if you are using your bank application to do some kind of transaction, everything that you do can be tracked by that application."
"Very easy to implement."
"The reporting feature is good for us."
"The technical support is good at resolving issues."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
"While I like the ease of use, when compared with Tenable Nessus they could still improve their usability."
"It would be ideal if the product offered a bit more monitoring from our dashboard."
"We have recently had a number of issues with stability and delays on logging, monitoring, metric evaluation, and alerts."
"It can have a more modernized pricing mechanism. We're actually working with them to figure out how to become more modular and have a better and more modernized pricing mechanism. The issue with Datadog is that you have to buy the whole suite of different products, and you kind of get stuck in the old utilization of 40% of their suite. Most organizations today break down between application development, networking, and security. Therefore, there should be a way to break down different modules into just app dev, infosec, networking, etc. Customers have various needs across their business lines, and sometimes, they're just not willing to have tools that they're not using 100%. AppDynamics is probably a little bit better in terms of being modular."
"Additional metrics should be included."
"The Log Explorer could be better. I don't think it has log manipulation as Splunk does."
"Datadog lacks a deeper application-level insight. Their competitors had eclipsed them in offering ET functionality that was important to us. That's why we stopped using it and switched to New Relic. Datadog's price is also high."
"This technology is considered to be older."
"When we want to monitor our encrypted traffic, this product doesn't work because our cipher is not supported."
"We would like to see support for non-Windows environments."
"Everybody is moving away from traffic and installing agents on the application to do the job, but Micro Focus is using traditional ways to collect the traffic. They should change their architecture completely."
"Some issues with login errors."
