"Datadog has helped us a ton by allowing us to set up a multitude of easily configurable alarms across our tech stack and infrastructure."
"Because of our client focus, it is easy for us to sell. This is because it is easy to use and easy to set up."
"The tools are powerful and intuitive to set up."
"It has provided visibility with ease of implementation and allowed multiple teams to quickly onboard it."
"We have been able to set very specific CPU and memory alerts, at the very base level, then we started to pull real business value, like 99th percentile response rates for our API calls."
"Even if we don't end up using Datadog, it revealed problems and optimizations to us that weren't obvious before."
"It has enhanced the performance of my team."
"It is easy to navigate the menu and create tests."
"One of the valuable features is the packet decoding."
"vSTREAM gives us better visibility and reporting about our network infrastructure, allowing for cost-optimization."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Once Datadog has gained wide adoption, it can often be overwhelming to both know and understand where to go to find answers to questions."
"We have recently had a number of issues with stability and delays on logging, monitoring, metric evaluation, and alerts."
"This service could be less costly."
"More pre-configured "Monitor Alerts" would be helpful."
"The error traceability is an area that can be improved."
"I'm not sure what kind of features are in the roadmap right now, but I encourage the development of features for defining your organization, and allowing the visibility of what kind of metrics you can get. Those features would be really useful for us."
"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."
"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."
"Room for improvement exists in filtering in the packet decode."
"I would like for it to have a smaller footprint of the virtual appliance and better performance."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user guide."
