BugSnag vs. Datadog

It's great for tracking bugs on your app. I don't think I can do anything else besides that...

DataDog Is well suited to all of the Infrastructure Monitoring Solutions, DB monitoring, and other Network monitoring also. It's not well suited because it cannot give perfect Infrastructure recommendations for our use case but also For example: If we are using AWS DB to monitor performance insights then Datadog is less effective there because AWS gives very niche recommendations.

• The UI/UX is well designed. I have never been confused by any buttons/filters/settings, and everything is laid out in a neat and organized fashion.
• Setup was super easy. I didn't have to do anything but read the documentation, which was well written.
• The information captured by errors has everything I would need to debug an issue.

• APIs, the ability to interact with the data we pull into data dog is key. We port the information over to Servicenow, so the ability to pull everything into DataDog, then Servicenow, is a key component of our success here at Wayfair.
• Simple Interface - clean, useful, effective. Allows users to use DataDog for one reason, get work done.
• Lightweight agent on hosts

• For really long bugs, it'd be nice if you hovered over the row and it expanded the text so you didn't have to click on the actual bug to view everything.
• It would be nice if there was a filter for grouping bugs instead of searching by their name.
• Honestly nothing else, I love 99% of Bugsnag.

• We had a couple "integrations" that had some issues during setup, but Support addressed them very quickly
• Unnecessary alerts about DataDog components...by the time I see them, they're almost always also fixed
• I wish there was a DataDog mobile app that would have dedicated alerts (configurable per alert to override Do Not Disturb setting) instead of relying on emails notifications that could be overlooked in the midst of many incoming emails around the same time.

The user interface is quite intuitive with the exception of the network map. As a deployer of software, it is trivial to setup.

The support team usually gets it right. We did have a rather complicate issue setting up monitoring on a domain controller. However, they are usually responsive and helpful over chat. The downside would be I don’t think they have any phone support. If that is important to you this might not be a good fit.

We are still trying other products, but people still like Datadog. After setting up a dashboard, it's great for monitoring instances on Datadog. Also, the DevOps team had a good time setting up Datadog. It means Datadog was way easier to set up compared to those others.

• It has caught bugs on the spot, which allows us to quickly fix them.

• Visibility into website issues and performance problems has improved our company communication.
• Handling and detecting site issues faster has improved customer satisfaction and retention.
• Configuration of the Datadog site can take a bit of time and we lost a bit of developer time during that process.
