"Datadog is providing efficiency in the products we develop for the wireless device engineering department."
"Datadog has proven to be easy to set up and legible for both development and operational teams."
"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."
"Datadog has clear dashboards and good documentation."
"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 Datadog suite has allowed us to easily integrate log collection into all of our services and quickly detect unexpected changes in system data to declare security incidents."
"The performance of Datadog is good."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money."

"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."
"Graph filters for logs need to be set manually which works well for JSON but not for unstructured logs."
"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."
"Once Datadog has gained wide adoption, it can often be overwhelming to both know and understand where to go to find answers to questions."

"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
