Likelihood to Recommend DataDog Is well suited to all of the Infrastructure Monitoring Solutions, DB monitoring, and other Network monitoring also.

Robot network GUI is place to monitor all the systems at one place. Based the MSG ID/JOBS, the alerts are set up to notify the concerned person/team.

Read full review Support Rating 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.

Also, the DevOps team had a good time setting up Datadog. It means Datadog was way easier to set up compared to those others.
Read full review It's a best tool/product in the market and easy to use. It serves our purpose and saves a lot time of the resource from the manual task. The main and most important is, its support team. One of the best support team I have ever seen. Their dedicated product engineer have a good knowledge over the product and helps immediately.
