Each one I championed integration and management was quickly happy with the ROI. Pros One-stop shop for logs and infrastructure status Cons Hard to teach new users where to find things at times. Especially with Monitors. Review Source PN Phuc N. Software Developer Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Happy switch from ELK to Datadog, and more" December 17, 2024 4.0 Overall, I am happy with it. The transition from ELK stack to Datadog feels intuitive. Pros Everything is packed into one platform, that makes it the single point when it comes to monitoring. Cons Support for Maven and Gradle is not so great. It doesn't really know how to check for actual dependency versions used in my project. Switched from [Elastic Stack](https://www.capterra.com/p/149304/Elasticsearch/) I have everything in a single platform. That makes it so convenient for a developer. Review Source LV Lakshmi V.
