Datadog vs Memfault: Which is a better fit?

It is a reliable and effective tool for tracking the performance of my systems and applications, and I would recommend it to others looking for a comprehensive monitoring solution.

The item I dislike least is that when you decommission a host the application requires up to 24 hours for that host to officially disappear from the list rather than being removed immediately.

Its good, it helped to improve Datalake services and quality of the processes. Integration like Service now, Slack helped to near real time identification of issues.

These plugins they list as available will give you only so very basic info, that it's totally worthless. We had to write our own plugins for each and every service and part of our system.

Reliable, easy to integrate, supports all important types of monitors and events, fast UI. You can easily setup your dashboard for important metrics.

It's a complex thing and if you're not familiar with monitoring systems it could be difficult to figure it out how you can find what you need.

It's easy to set up and configure, it's reliable, and it provides a lot of useful information to help me troubleshoot and monitor my applications.

Filtered tags is very Slow. The integration with another tools is difficult.

I am relieved that we are using the service as it gives me confidence that those issues, when we encounter them in the future, can be solved quickly and effectively.

There is a bit of confusing about which visualization tool to use for the metric data and it seems to have some bugs. It is hard to manage the metrics generally.

Memfault support is excellent and I liked it the way they made themselves available for us during whole integration.

There is limited API access to the data. And custom queries on the data can be hard to do.

It monitors each device safely and provides the confidence that it is protected against any fault that it may have. The solution will be automatic and prevents it from affecting the work of others.

Some confusing things about being able to deploy debug/release builds and managing variants of build types. Perhaps more education on our part could have fixed this?).

It is very useful because it automatically provides solutions to the faults that the devices present.

I can't easily get access to the raw per-device metric data via a documented API. I can't easily see the FW version that the metric data was produced on via the web interface.
