### "Great tool for observability if you invest time in learning and setting it up"

December 16, 2024

4.0

Pros

Works very nice when you need to collect logs from multiple different platforms/environments. Good monitoring/alerting capabilities.

Cons

As a large tool it has its own learning path. Takes some time to learn different concepts, but well worth time investment

### "Datadog Review"

December 16, 2024

5.0

My over all exeperience with Datadog is excellent, I have used other apm tools like grafana and prometheus, but I had to say, datadog seems to be par with them.

Pros

The most I like about the data is trace of the apis and Service Catalog showing all the important details of API. apart from these pipeline feature as well.

Cons

I very much like datadog, but the UI of log section can be imporved. It looks a but clutter.

### "Great experience with Datadog"

December 17, 2024

5.0

Pros

RUM has helped us in identifying the frustrations of end user, visibly view how the end user is interacting with our application and ultimately serve our users better and improve usability for them. Also the Datadog monitors for monitoring CPU and memory usage have been a real game changer in resolving memory leaks.

Cons

Something to improve on is capture information logs whenever required in the RUM sessions in case we want to debug certain scenarios even before errors happen.

### "Datadog: Simplifying system monitoring"

March 2, 2025

4.0

Datadog is a great tool that dramatically simplifies monitoring and observability, it makes everything organized without any a need for a complex configuration, and saves time on unnecessity details

Pros

It provides an easy way for a team to analyze most logs, performance, metrics on the same platform as it connects with multiple services

Cons

The pricing might be a problem in case of extremely high data volumes and the interface gets complicated to manage or it may take you some time to understand it

December 16, 2024

4.0

Very pleased even if the learning curve is steep. Once on the top of the hill, however, you have swiss knife

Pros

Exhaustive it covers almost every aspect of monitoring an application

Cons

Documentation. Mastering the product is hard given it covers so many aspects. However documentation can be improved with more samples and easier doc navigation (it relies too much on blog samples)

### "My first exposure to APMs, I really like DataDog"

December 17, 2024

5.0

I really like DataDog. I love using it for live debugging mostly.

Pros

I can logs from various environments and with many options to filter and seerch so I can tweak the settings and see the logs I am looking for.

Cons

I found it a bit difficult to get my head around where to find what and how to make a simple query - but then it's probably because I was completely new to Application Performance Monitoring tools in general. Once I used the tool for some live debugging I got the hang of it :)

5.0

Overall datadog is good once you get the hang of it. However, the it may take a couple days to get adjusted to using it

Pros

It allows me to look through logs thats required for my day-to-day job. I appreciate the quick filter options available that are easily accessible on the left-hand side

Cons

Sometimes it feels overwhelming when you are shown a huge amount of data at once. I believe there is also a steep learning curve too.
