Overall Satisfaction with Datadog

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.

Pros

  • API monitoring
  • End-user experience
  • Easy to implement

Cons

  • Agent-based
  • Initial learning curve
  • Azure integration could be easier
  • Improved reliability and trust in our infrastructure
  • Increased trust with business peers and users since our mobile applications became more stable
  • Enable us to perform real problem management and root cause detection
Easier to set up and integrate with other auxiliary tools. The cost was also a benefit along with self-service capabilities. We could set up Data Dog by ourselves, versus needing to bring additional consulting efforts to setup Dynatrace. Reliability of results (less false alerts and more real alerts when systems were down) were a plus.
We were struggling for a while with monitoring, and honestly were not impressed with anything we tried. Our platform was complex, a mix of embedded devices, different mobile OSs and cloud providers. After several months of try and fail, we found Data Dog and immediately got positive results, with minimal effort. Use cases kept evolving and got even better over time.

Did Datadog live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Datadog go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Datadog again?

Yes

Cloud, API and end-user monitoring. Complex monitoring situations where multiple platforms are involved. Love also the integration with other solutions like Slack. I cannot see any specific situation where it doesn't fit—for those particular platforms mentioned before. I do not consider the price to be expensive, but that's my opinion.
