The APM tool you'll love
We use Datadog to trace and monitor our whole infrastructure. The APM feature is a blessing. Also, the log stream is way better than the same features of similar products. We used it to gather and centralize data from AWS into an easy-to-understand dashboard. For example, we created dashboards with the data per environment about availability, error rates, error quotas & network traffic.

Datadog is a great monitoring tool!
Datadog is used by couple of departments within the organization. We are using it to monitor our infrastructure such as the servers, containers, processes, storage health as well as to load and look into the metrics.

Great product, kinda expensive
It is used to monitor multiple hosts for networking, compute, and memory along with application-level metrics (errors, performance, etc). This allows for site reliability engineers to determine the cause of errors and gain other data for root cause analysis (RCA).
We are testing and using Datadog in the e-commerce applications we are creating in a project to re-engineer our existing legacy applications, and transform them into a micro services based architecture hosted on several different cloud platforms. Datadog is helping us to monitor all the applications and the logging within a single pane of glass.

A must-have for any cloud-based software company that will scale with your monitoring needs
We use Datadog to monitor all kinds of application metrics: errors, network stats, response times, queues, and a bunch of application-specific metrics. We also have alerts set up that notify us of changes in production application performance. We also get a lot of metrics "for free" from all kinds of third-party tools (e.g. ElasticSearch, GitHub, Heroku, Cloudflare, etc).

Data Dog Wins at Monitoring and Alerting
Our IT department uses Data Dog to monitor critical server uptime as well as switches and routers over SNMP. We also use the Data Dog API to write critical events for alerting and monitoring. We don’t currently use the application monitoring features, but I could see us using them in the future.

Very easy tool to adapt and to use!
We had very complex monitoring requirements for APIs related to IoT and mobile app users. There were several different tools, no reliable results and we were losing credibility in the stability and reliability of our infrastructure. Also, all tools were very difficult to manage, implement and support, not to mention expensive.

A lifesaver in server monitoring
Our DevOps team utilizes DataDog to be aware of any abnormalities across our infrastructure, whether hosted or local. We can look in one place to see stats and alarms across all infrastructure, independent of hosting provider's console. Being a software company, we can also send events to DataDog via their API to generate alerts for certain activity within our applications.

Datadog Review
We use Datadog on almost all of our production systems to give us granularity into how systems are running, and additionally, use Datadog's logging feature to aggregate all of our logs across systems in real time. Datadog's simple dashboards enable visibility from different providers to be displayed all in one place, even if systems are not from the same vendor.

DataDog: Great Tool for Enterprise Monitoring, Alerts, Metric Aggregation, and Dashboards/Graphs
The engineering/dev-ops teams use DataDog as the tool of choice for monitoring our applications/servers, and for aggregating logs. All of our applications and micro-services use the DataDog Rest API to send metrics to, so that we can monitor performance and CPU usage, and setup alerts in case any issues arise.

DataDog at Wayfair!
DataDog is currently being used by Wayfair's Monitoring, Network Ops, and Critical Incident teams to provide a variety of data to provision, manage and maintain the existing infrastructure for internal and external sites and applications. It is a critical input to how these teams identify, tag, and respond to alerts within the company. We use Datadog for the current day to day provisioning tasks and well as prior/after any maintenance.
It has a key plug-in with ServiceNow and this is a key integration at Wayfair. ServiceNow is used as the reporting platform to store and index all DataDog alerting. Further, we have built several notification systems to piggy back off DataDog alerts for clear and wide-spread notifications to all stakeholders of a particular stack of technology.
The visuals and simple interface provides a clean and ready-made application in which to address the business and technical needs, for a rapidly evolving infrastructure. Wayfair has a tremendous amount of growth and we rely on this tool to grow and adapt alongside us. The Platform as a Service approach has proven to provide what we need, without the dependencies to support the infrastructure, which is a big bonus for our teams.

Datadog tool
Datadog is implemented as APM of choice for our organization at the platform level. Any team across the company opting to use the platform gets Datadog to gain insights into the platform with metrics like ELB, container & network stats, memory usage etc. This integration comes out of the box for the clients which they can use for monitoring their services
We are Premium MSP partner for AWS so our DevOps engineers, Managers user them, We also have a product for Cloud Management Platform where we are working on parsing information from Datadog to our SaaS platform to present monitoring data much graphically.

Watch and monitor clustered applications easily
It's being used by all engineers. We have scaled our e-commerce, and Datadog makes easier to look at each cluster. One great point of Datadog is how easy it is to identify an unhealthy box. Also, another great one, is to watch important metrics like CPU and memory. It's way easier to watch it on Datadog rather than AWS itself.

Great tool in a complex architecture world
Datadog is being used in the whole company to monitor all the instances we have.
Used to be in private cloud and now it is used in AWS instances also.

Good solution for cloud monitoring
We use Datadog for monitoring our public cloud. We integrate it with some of the AWS components and monitor our instances on the cloud. It's a great solution for cloud-based monitoring with APIs.

Offers great insight into system and website performance
Datadog provides great visibility into how our server infrastructure is performing. There is support for a huge variety of integrations, pretty much any service you can think of has a supported integration. Our organization uses the dashboard functionality to get a quick view as to the current state of our environment. If there's a server or website issue, everyone hops onto Datadog to get a view as to what's happening.

All the DevOpsy things
Datadog helps us monitor our applications and ensure uptime. It is widely adopted by the entire engineering organization. When it comes to gathering performance metrics and tuning of our software applications, Datadog is just what we need. It ensures our infrastructure is highly available with fast and reliable services to our customers.

Datadog - A good solution.
Datadog is being used to pull variable information from an agent on each of our servers and sent to a centralized location so we have a one stop place to understand how well our servers and services are doing. It is being used by the operations team as well as developers. It addresses getting having to go many places to get the same information.
