Datadog APM pros and cons

  • With powerful tools for monitoring and troubleshooting, Datadog APM simplifies the process of diagnosing and fixing performance issues across applications, which enhances operational efficiency.

  • Datadog sends real-time alerts when something goes wrong, enabling users to address problems immediately and prevent further disruptions.

  • Datadog APM offers proactive monitoring of complex, distributed systems, providing teams with the insights they need to prevent potential issues before they impact operations.

  • The platform enables faster identification of application availability issues, allowing teams to resolve problems quickly and minimize downtime.

  • While the platform provides detailed insights, the sheer volume of data generated can be overwhelming for teams without the proper filtering and configuration, making it difficult to focus on critical issues.

  • Datadog's pricing structure can be expensive, especially for smaller businesses, as costs can scale quickly depending on the number of monitored hosts and the level of usage.

Monitor your machines performance

What do you like best? At first, Datadog may seem like a complex product, but you can get use to it with practice. When you get to know it enough, it will provide you full control of your system. Their RabbitMQ support is excellent, as it offers good insight into queues. The APIs allow you to interact with the data quickly and effectively and it's definitely this API functionality what makes Datadog one of the best monitoring tools on the market. ...

Daily provisioning tasks after maintenance

What do you like best? Datadog shows short, simple and easy-to-understand graphs to give an appropriate overview of the system's performance, which is great because it turns something that’s really complex into a very simple visual representation that can be understood quickly. It can be integrated with Cloud Watch, so you can monitor even without the agent installation, a very cool asset of an already powerful tool. Also, it provides a lightweight agent on hosts. What do you dislike? ...

Best Metrics

What do you like best? I like how easy it is to configure everything on the DataDog. If I want to add some metrics and visualize it, I can easily do that in a matter of few hours.

I don't really like some of its functionality with alarms and notifications. I think it could be better improved. But overall, I really enjoy it more than any ...

Product of great interest

What do you like best? It gives me a balance in the work to know how is the performance of each app and each installed software that works and so be aware of each one or that is consuming many resources in the system that makes it slow and does not allow me to execute the actions that I need to do to make my work efficient, without Datadog I could not know which are the app that cause discomfort and that delay me in my work and its good support allows me to have the confidence to ask all ...
