Overall Satisfaction with Datadog
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.
- Centralized data.
- Quick easy graphs.
- Customization.
- Many other products out there like it.
- Not as dynamic as some other open source tools.
- Pricey compared to open source tools.
- Not [having] to manage your own infrastructure.
- Costly.
- One stop shop to your data.
- Cacti, Grafana and Graphite
Datadog visually is up there with the rest of these products. For some projects I use datadog and others I use different open source tools. For our production environment we use datadog and with Puppet the installation on each of our servers makes it quick and easy to install. For non-production servers we use other tools.
