Datadog Reviews & Product Details

I like that the gui is user friendly, theres alot about datadog that is easy to use. The search bar is pretty helpful when looking fro items, theres alot that can br brought into datadog. New features always available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation on setting things up i feel like is a little hard to understand. Sometomes we figure out that we need an upgrade to use the next feature but the docs dont necessarily say that. Theres alot that chnages from one version to the next it would be nice for there to be a guide Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datadog is good at getting the veriables for the testing with most working riht away

Other programs something require editing.

Record and playback as expected Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some Step recorded can't be edited only recorded again

This is an isssue if the veriable is a ID number that might change over time.

Example a drop down list get an added item.

Datadog no live playback only after the fact so one has to wait to see why somehting failed

Some pages are not update in real time (30 minute delay)

22 second run time test takes over a minute to show results and page doens't autorefresh Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its features of tracing and APM. It has made troubleshooting errors in the code far easier. It also connects to a wide variety of languages and operating systems. The filtering system that Datadog has built in is rather handy for finding monitors, dashboards, and events. The Watchdog AI is a helpful tool in spotting pattern you may not have noticed in your applications before, and its breakdown of the pattern and possible causes is helpful in narrowing down root cause. The monitors are simple to implement and can be linked with ServiceNow and Pagerduty rather easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We wish there was better admin management tools for pushing out updates and giving alerts on a more timely fashion that upgrades are necessary. Communication of these changes could be a little more timely as well. Instrumentation for projects has also gotten more complex than when we first started, but it can be understandable given how much Datadog has grown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion DataDog offers a broad suite of products for observability which can easily be integrated with different providers. For AWS you can simply install a CloudFormation Template which then allows DataDog to access logs from your account. The user interface is pretty easy to use and also offers non-technical people an overview to the most important metrics. Integrating notification services such as Slack is also doable with a few clicks and allows you to send alerts to your teams' slack channel to have them notified instantly so they do not need to have a glance on DataDog every day.

DataDogs pricing is sometimes not really clear for us and for some services we just had to wait for a month to pass so we can see how much another service really costs. While you can see what everything costs on their pricing page, this sometimes leaves questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity in setup, its very easy to create things like a regular upcheck and have it sent to your alerting channel of choice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it doesn't have as many features as its competitors do for our purposes. We use datadog as part of a suite of services rather than a one-stop-shop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

integrates with different environments/applications, a lot of great integreations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to find material for each specific case. Would like to see more examples how to work with different types of OS, different types of logs. Would like to see a separate session on the best tagging approach, to be able to link traces, logs, issues, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Distributed tracing is pretty great. Also, the dashboarding is great. Also, DD is always innovating and bringing new offers to market. Synthetics have proven to be pretty powerful addition to our workflow and has saved us a ton of setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing strategy has us constantly on our toes to manage cost. Leaning into Config as Code would be helpful, and allow us to commit our synthetics to version control and push via CI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their adaptability. At oine point they didn't have open telemetry options for the product, but then eventually added it on a year or two later Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing lol. It can get pretty heavy handed. Also support hasn't been the best compared to other products i've used in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Statistics and sessions, my main doing, are to my liking, it describes well enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not nice to replace all every typing field as asteriks, i just want the passwords to be hidden, not the other ones. Hiding message details and email of users somehow blocks the view to address the problem directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DataDog provides thorough insights accross all of the important facets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DataDog has an excellent offering and continues to provides new services to keep clients and fulfill the needs of the industry. However, with this comes a premium and in turn hinders its adoption or for those who use it, to use it completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is great to provide insight on how real users are interacting with the products, while also making it easy to tie error rates to sessions and giving us tons of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could tie synthetic testings to deployments easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of integration for most of their products like RUM, super easy to set up even with limited knowledge, and due to their wide variety of products you can have all your logs/alerting/monitoring in one place across multiple services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you get deep into custom metrics and analysis it can get confusing, their graphing/visualization tool is unfortunately not very intuitive and they are missing a lot of features that something like Tableau might have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is all in one place, the UI is fairly nice. Customer support is bomb! Thanks! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can monitor most api calls and provide relevant analytics. It also alerts when there is a down situation that we need to attend to right away. For us it prevents situations from going downhill so we can address before that happens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company needs more opportunities to use the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When implemented well, it has a comprehensive feature set that encompasses the entire SDLC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
