The system events are pretty good. Datadog is very well designed to give visibility among the teams so that I can discuss issues in context of production data, write down the changes and notify my team, see who responded to that alert before, remember what was done to correct it and add their data together.

you only have to install agent and cloud integrations to bring metrics and events from your cloud and services in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The configuration of this platform is just opened is very complicated I could not understand it I had to ask for help of engineering and support so that they could explain each of the categories I had already afterwards, it has made it easy to use it, but the first ones months I get headaches this app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps us to monitor traffic on our website Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not very mobile friendly, some learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to create monitor/alerts and dashboards. Alarms are useful too. Dashboards are nice and lot of options to create graphical representations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning Curve is not straightforward, often there is latency in logs and you have to know your filters to search for events, it's not easy to identify based on filters attributes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of features of monitoring different aspects of your infrastructure, can monitor server parameters and most of widely used software. Good capabilities for AWS workloads monitoring Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Agent based, it is not always possible to deploy agent per security concerns. Very limited Azure support, just basic services. Very hard for new users, which is not a good way to start working with solution. A bit expensive just for log analytics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datadog organizes reports in a clear way. Integration with Airflow is also very useful, since that's what handles all of out production jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Comparing custom metrics is limited right now. Improving flexibility in the future would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* A very flexible monitor, you can track a lot of things (there are more than 100 possible integrations)

* Also a server health checker.

* Unbeatable custom dashboard creator: you can basically mix everything you want to track into a single dashboard without problems.

* Custom tracking stats: With it's powerful event-tracking API you can build your own statistics and gauges so you can measure what you really want to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* Steep learning curve: As powerful as it sounds, requires some level of skill to understand every aspect of the service and get the exact measurements you want. Datadog is huge.

* Some prebuilt alers were not working: this is a very subjective subject (hehe) since I might be caused this problem, I didn't give it enough research time.

* Partial service integration: Sure there are 100+ services to integrate with, but some of them only shows basic and somewhat trivial statistics, not so useful at first so you need to learn and implement your own statistics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
