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.

Datadog for visualization of the server infrastructure

What do you like best? Something I especially like about Datadog is the endless integration options it provides. It works perfect with platforms like Slack and AWS. The dashboards always show all the relevant information on the same screen, especially when it comes to graphics. They’re also easy to customize and read. The interface is modern and intuitive. What do you dislike? Although I think the interface from Datadog is great, I think it lacks of options for configuring agents, so ...

Who knows what is slow? DataDog!

What do you like best? I pretty much only use the APM part of the software since that is most useful to my job (Developer). I can spent 5min in DataDog to identify work for the next week. Integrating in existing product was very easy, setup and maintenance are easy. Does not feel like it adds any overhead to the app. What do you dislike? There are a few features I would like to see as a developer, support is generally open to ideas, but it rarely ends up being implemented. ...

Excelent monitoring tool!

What do you like best? The simple it is to get started, just install the agent and create a dashboard. Then personalize the metrics you want to track What do you dislike? So far I didn't find anything to strongly dislike. Everything is pretty much very well done. Recommendations to others considering the product: Datadog is a very well rounded tool, with lots of features and compatible with many many many services. I would carefully review the pricing, but other than that is a ...

App performance

What do you like best? I have always felt that datadog has a very advanced system more than any other software that provides the same services because its good performance and the results that have been released have affirmed that all the monitoring of the app and programs of the company are well monitored by Datadog, providing a good 24/7 monitoring service making sure that any warning of something that is failing will reach the notification to the mail informing what is happening What ...

A solution for monitoring applications and servers in real-time

What do you like best? Datadog has powerful integration. Practically, it can be supported with almost any service and it provides data collection with specific metrics and time series. The price is another great factor from Datadog, making it available and less expensive than the competition, especially for micro-services. What do you dislike? This is not an easy software to learn. The learning curve is heavy and it will take some time. The UI is rough and it’s something that ...

DataDog To Manage Integration Apps

What do you like best? Super flexible and tons of metrics by which you can set alerts and build dashboards. What do you dislike? You have to be pretty technical to use the product. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We monitor our integration applications for response times and JVM health.

Versatile product at a great value

What do you like best? Datadog allows you to collect and cross-reference various metadata about your application--it's wonderful to have APM, container health monitoring, and logs in one place. Also, I spent a LOT of time with Datadog support... and I mean, A LOT, because our use case (our app is Dockerized and deployed on Aptible) is not typical. The support team was, pun intended, dogged in their persistence to help me get Datadog working for us. And it's a great value, cost-wise. ...

Problem solving

What do you like best? Indicates the success or failure of each app installed on the computers of the company and so know the performance of each if its functionality is correct or something is failing, looking for low performance solutions making each app work without any problem It shows me the success of the service with codes that refer to the possible errors that are in the system or when there is a code in HTTP status indicates the success showing in detail well informed of each ...
