Recensioni su Datadog

Posso vedere cosa fanno gli utenti in produzione

Aspetti positivi:

Lo uso per monitorare il frontend: Si tratta di un tool davvero facile da utilizzare e non serve una grande configurazione, fa praticamente tutto lui e fornisce delle dashboard dettagliate su sessioni e bug, inoltre posso dato un bug ripercorrere tuta la sessione utente e se non riesco a capire cosa stia succedendo posso rivedere il filmato dello schermo dell'utente

Aspetti negativi:

Ritengo che sia difficile fare le query per aggregare i dati come si vuole

Alternative considerate: Dynatrace e New Relic

Perché passare a Datadog: Perché le interfacce sono davvero semplici da usare, i dati son ben aggregati e posso vedere il video delle azioni degli utenti

Datadog is the best SAAS alternative for Monitoring

Commenti: My experience is great, documentation is very helpfull.

Aspetti positivi:

You dont have to manage anything, you just setup your agent and you have monitoring done.

Aspetti negativi:

Documentation is not public available, i dont understand why.

Everything in a single pane of glass

Commenti: I have had a great overall experience with the product, the customer success team, and the support team at Datadog. I would highly recommend.

Aspetti positivi:

Datadog is a solid and stable product. They provide easy to use features and functionality that sets the standard for APM and Security tools - and their suite of tools is continuously expanding to important areas. The APM capabilities were able to handle our complex technology stack with little to no configuration necessary.

Aspetti negativi:

Not necessarily a con, more of a caution to monitor your consumption.. We worked with the customer success team to ensure our account was right sized based on forecasted usage. In the beginning we had to monitor our on-demand consumption as we outgrew our initial needs, this was handled incredibly well by the Datadog team, but you do need to keep an eye on your own consumption to avoid additional costs.

Alternative considerate: IBM Instana e New Relic

Perché scegliere Datadog: We were looking to consolidate our output from our cloud provider to reduce I/O traffic and security risk. Also, we felt the use of Datadog would simplify our integrations (and the number of integrations overall) by using a multi-purpose tool.

Software precedente: IBM Instana e Sumo Logic

Perché passare a Datadog: We felt the specific mix of technologies covered by their APM was a differentiating factor for us.

Endless Sales calls

Aspetti positivi:

Nothing. I haven't and won't use them because their Sales team is so hyper aggressive.

Aspetti negativi:

DataDog got my cell phone number and that's when it all went down hill. For months they've called me — sometimes extremely early in the morning at time zone inappropriate times — to attempt to get our business. Just this morning, they called starting at 8am not once, not twice, but three times in a row each from different numbers. I've asked them to stop. I've begged them to stop. I've spoken with managers. I did so again this morning! But I've lost hope that I'll ever land on a do not call list because I'm convinced they don't have one. The product, frankly, looks good. It's something I'd considered using. But their Sales team is so ridiculously aggressive — who calls someone three or four times in a row from different numbers every five minutes at 8am? — that I will never, ever use them as a vendor. And if you value your sanity, never express even the most vague amount of interest to these folks because apparently they will never stop relentlessly calling you. To say that their Sales team has left a bad taste in my mouth is an understatement.

Dog eat Dog world

Commenti: DataDog has allowed me to bring Fortune 500 company insights and application monitoring to a early stage startup!

Aspetti positivi:

DataDog is able to ingest and make sense of a complicated cloud application without the developer having to understand the infrastructure or program specifically for it.

Aspetti negativi:

That if I could afford it I would turn on all the features 24/7 and use them all.

DataDog is key component of our engineering stack!

Commenti: Initially we had purchased DataDog to get some basic observability and to lift our logs into a central location. Quickly we began leveraging there additional features to gain deeper insights, better monitoring, and to speed up troubleshooting. DataDog is now a cornerstone of our software stack and everyone from engineers up and into DevOps/SREs use this on a day-to-day basis.

Aspetti positivi:

The software can scale with the business needs. You can start with basic features or leverage many as you like (for $$) to gain deeper insights. Engineers once onboarded use it heavily to spot issues or troubleshoot more obscure bugs both in production and development.

Aspetti negativi:

You often need to review usage and costs. Misconfigurations, migration projects (where legacy + new infrastructures are required), integrations which may cause double reporting need to be observed to prevent run-away spend.

Alternative considerate: New Relic

Perché passare a Datadog: We chose DataDog due to extensive feature set and existing product knowledge within the engineering team.

Best Monitoring and Observability Tool

Commenti: Best and good experience with datadog tool.

Aspetti positivi:

Experience with Datadog is Best. Using this Tool since 1 year. I worked on many monitoring tool but this is the one best for cloud and infrastructure monitoring. Datadog provides many third party tools integration, we did many integration and monitored many services. we can setup the alerts on our services for let us know before any unusual activity happens. and main thing is we can redirect that alerts to our notification channel and our teams to work on that. We can integrated our frontend and backend applications and we can collect logs also for our application and we can more debug it. They have built in dashboard feature we can manually create dashboards according to our use case. we can also create synthetic scripts and synthetic monitors such as ping for testing our website is available or not or its properly working or not. we can query our data and fetch it accordingly. Talking about AWS and azure services integration, Its totally easy our teams hasn't fetch any issue, its easy as it is. overall experience is good while using this tool best for keep our application and services up to date and running. They have active customer service.

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing to dislike about Datadog, pricing is quite high but this tool has providing you lot more integration and active customer support so you can raise your query and You will get feedback fast.

Monitoring our micro services app with datadog

Commenti: Use it every day, easy to implement

Aspetti positivi:

All in one shop. APM, DB monitoring , synthetic transaction and log analysis

Aspetti negativi:

APM does not work well on nodejs asyc services. Might be hard to track transactions.

Alternative considerate: New Relic

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of integrataion. Both alerts, metrics and log aggregation in one place. Website Synthetics was very useful too.

Datadog Review

Commenti: Datadog is a top-notch monitoring solution for complex environments, offering rich features and functionality, albeit with a learning curve.

Aspetti positivi:

Datadog excels at providing real-time, in-depth insights into application and infrastructure performance, with a user-friendly interface and robust integrations.

Aspetti negativi:

Initial setup and customization can be overwhelming, and it may be expensive for smaller businesses.

Tried but with hesitation elected to stay on SolarJunk

Commenti: We tried the product and may reconsider as soon as we can visual an ROI worthwhile

Aspetti positivi:

It provided some key insights just missed on an all-in-one package

Aspetti negativi:

key features like integrated APM and IPAM missing

Everything Everywhere All at Once in One Place

Aspetti positivi:

The dashboards and alerts are great for monitoring system status. The automated tests are great for checking the status of our systems externally.

Aspetti negativi:

Because they are a one-stop shop it is difficult to figure out the exact tooling you need for a problem. They are solving EVERY problem so it's hard to sort things out.

datadog stuff

Commenti: i have a great account team that really partner with me. the service is very useful and reliable

Aspetti positivi:

the ease of implimentation and the ability to capture meaningfully info easilyquickly

Aspetti negativi:

it's super expensive....almost cost prohibitive

Datadog review

Aspetti positivi:

I liked the fact that DataDog provides an easy-to-use platform for visualizing, monitoring, and alerting on all my infrastructure metrics. It's very comprehensive and the integrated dashboards allow me to quickly identify any issues. It's also great that it can integrate with other technologies, allowing me to have a complete view of my system.

Aspetti negativi:

I didn't like the complexity of setting up custom dashboards and metrics. It was difficult to find the right combination of settings and tools to get the desired result.

Best in class APM that can meet all APM, Monitoring, and Logging needs

Commenti: I love it - i use it for work, I use it for home. I find it amazing for finding problems and monitoring systems.

Aspetti positivi:

I can handle ALL things in Datadog. I have an answer for CI / Pipelines, arbitrary metrics, trace data, logging and more.

Aspetti negativi:

There are a lot of specific costs. Compare, if you will, with NewRelic (all features are free) or Dynatrace (cost on retention and davis units). If you enable "all the things", it can be costly.

Alternative considerate: Dynatrace, Sumo Logic e New Relic

Perché scegliere Datadog: Better and more reliable.

Perché passare a Datadog: Better value, more performant

Datadog does a lot out of the box

Commenti: We are using Datadog to monitor and observe over 3000 distinct video streams for outages. It does the job pretty admirably even if I can't tweak the alerts and dashboards as much as I'd like.It is VERY expensive. But it does a lot.

Aspetti positivi:

It's pretty easy to get a lot out of Datadog right out of the box -- the AWS and other integrations are amazing and easy to use.

Aspetti negativi:

It's REALLY expensive.It's not so easy to really really tweak the dashboarding and alerts to do more advanced mathematics or analysis.

A must in the monitoring toolbox

Commenti: the customer experience is perfect, we are assisted every step of the process, and the support is reactive

Aspetti positivi:

Datadog is a very powerfull tools, it allows you to gatehered lot of differents metrics, and create very powerfull dashboard to monitor everything that append in your app (server side) but also to monitor your API or your network. it's a very powerful tool !

Aspetti negativi:

It can be a bit tricky at the beginning to setup your dashboard, there is a learning curve to understand how to implements everythings

Great end to end Integration

Aspetti positivi:

Datadog is great for bootstrapping and it can get you quite far! Monitoring and alerting tooling is awesome, integrate well with the new products

Aspetti negativi:

Datadog is one of the few solutions I’m the market that provides all stack (logs, security, apm, infra …) and they know it. It is not cheap, when compared individually but looking at the big scope the integration is what we are paying for.

Excellent, extensible monitoring

Aspetti positivi:

The range of integrations for the product allows us to pull every possible metric needed.

Aspetti negativi:

Does have a little bit of a learning curve but provides an excellent learning academy

maintain observability with Datadog

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of use and flexibility. Beginning teams can leverage out of the box but you can grow into this product as it is quite feature rich. The product just works.

Aspetti negativi:

It is so expensive that we consistently have to trim usage when not needed. Also due to this we have to justify the product constantly

Very initiative and easy to deploy and set up.

Aspetti positivi:

Compared to our previous observability tool it was incredibly easy connecting Datadog to all of our data sources. All the connectors we needed were already created so my team didn't have to spend time writing code to collect and send telemetry.

Aspetti negativi:

Some features can be a bit expensive such as synthetic tests and while there are tools to help track spend, there could be a bit more granularity in the RBAC on who can turn on features that have additional.
