Datadog has given us near-live visibility across our entire cloud platform.

I like that you can build out a dashboard pretty quickly. There are some things that come out of the box that you don't really need to do, which is great because they're default settings.

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.

It provides more cloud data. They tend to just get the way a service would be designed on the cloud.

Having a wealth of information has helped us investigate outages, and having historical data helps us tune our system.

The many dozens of integrations that the solution brings out of the box are excellent.

The most valuable feature is the dashboards that are provided out of the box, as well as ones we were able to configure.

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.

We have way more observability than what we had before - on the application and the overall system.

It has scaled great. I haven't run into any problems anywhere that I've used it. They have handled everything that we have needed them to.

We have recently had a number of issues with stability and delays on logging, monitoring, metric evaluation, and alerts.

I think better access to their engineers when we have a problem could be better.

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 does not have the best interface.

Datadog has a lot of documentation, but a lot of that documentation assumes you know how the service works, which can lead to confusion.

Deploying the agents is still very manual.

More pre-configured "Monitor Alerts" would be helpful.

The pricing model could be simplified as it feels a bit outdated, especially when you look at the billing model of compute instances vs the containers instances.

Auto instrumentation on tracing has not been very easy to find in the documentation.

I would love to see support for front-end and mobile applications. Right now, it is mostly all back-end stuff. Being able to do some integration with our front-end products would be awesome.
