Overall Satisfaction with Datadog
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.
- Monitoring unhealthy box instances
- Watch CPU usage
- Watch Memory Usage
- Monitoring logging issue. To do that, we need other kinds of tool, such as Splunk.
- It takes a time to create a dashboard from scratch. It's easy to set up by a senior user, but it is not for beginners.
- Aggregate info in a way to make quick decisions
- It makes it easier to watch important metrics from each instance
- New Relic and App Dynamic
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.
