Datadog is the monitoring, security and analytics platform for developers, IT operations teams, security engineers and business users in the cloud age.
Developers, ITDMs, customers and businesses of all sizes.
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 was able to get alot done in like 1 week, that has taken me like a decade to do. I was very pleased and happy user.
Google saw in our actions "suspicious activity" and blocked access to the resource. The site has stopped working, access to the engine has been blocked.
Google Cloud is easy to learn, simple to use, and provides comfort that the things important to you are safe and secure.
One must really drill down to find it and to understand how to stop being billed for services not needed. There needs to be more prompts to inform the user what they will be charged for.
Good Documentation: when it comes to documentation Google Cloud Platform really did a nice job there, every of their products and services has a good documentation for exploring.
There is a limit on how much storage you can have before you can pay, which limits you especially if you don't buy a plan.
I also like that it is secure and reliable making it a flexible solution. I access it as an API which increases the flexibility in reading and writing data.
In case you have low Internet speed at your workplace, you will surely struggle with this platform.
Sawan: Hi, I'm Sawan. I'm the Director of Information Security at a privacy business. I would give Datadog a rating five stars. Prior to using Datadog, I've had a lot of experience with different types of observability in monitoring solutions such as Splunk and built-in tools in cloud, such as Azure Sentinel and AWS Security Hub. I find Datadog very easy to use because it is compatible with all of these sources and easy to implement. They often join companies where they need to address gaps and improve their security posture very quickly. Datadog is easy to implement where there is a lack of skills within the organization and easy to scale, also with all of its integrations and very clear billing structure. Integration for Datadog is very easy because it has integrations out of the box from the minute you subscribe to the platform for all leading platforms, including secondary platforms as well. Its integrations are growing all the time. The integrations are quick to implement and done within minutes. The recommendations I have is that you aggregate to correlate and get good insights. When you connect all of these fast integrations into Datadog, you'll get a lot of information. A lot of information becomes noisy, so the key thing to do is to stop at those stages after integrations, and clarify what you want to see and cut out what you do not want to see, so therefore you can move at pace and have a very clean dashboard at the end.
Lyiana: My name is Lyiana. My job title is self-cleaning. I rate Google Cloud a four. I use Google Cloud for pictures, saving documents and everything, important papers, pretty much just pictures. Thing I like about Google Cloud is I like how it saves stuff and doesn't share your security or anything. Sometimes I don't like sometimes it doesn't save everything that needs to be saved and you have to redo it half the time. But, yeah.
