Datadog vs. Enterprise Fluentd

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.

Enterprise Fluentd is a classic solution that manages data, which allows the business to get information from various sources and connect it to conduct a comprehensive analytical procedure. More so, Enterprise Fluentd has the security part, which is specific and friendly in controlling all the systems. Finally, Enterprise Fluentd is strategic, and it uses AI for high performance.

• 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

• 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.
