Datadog APM pros and cons

  • With powerful tools for monitoring and troubleshooting, Datadog APM simplifies the process of diagnosing and fixing performance issues across applications, which enhances operational efficiency.

  • Datadog sends real-time alerts when something goes wrong, enabling users to address problems immediately and prevent further disruptions.

  • Datadog APM offers proactive monitoring of complex, distributed systems, providing teams with the insights they need to prevent potential issues before they impact operations.

  • The platform enables faster identification of application availability issues, allowing teams to resolve problems quickly and minimize downtime.

  • While the platform provides detailed insights, the sheer volume of data generated can be overwhelming for teams without the proper filtering and configuration, making it difficult to focus on critical issues.

  • Datadog's pricing structure can be expensive, especially for smaller businesses, as costs can scale quickly depending on the number of monitored hosts and the level of usage.

datadog marketplace 100% leaders

What do you like best? System stats, software stats, API endpoints, events, dashboards, alerts, mobile apps, all in one.

Good customer support and documentation. What do you dislike? Lack of Azure monitoring tools, Datadog is very complex in building your own solutions. A bit too expensive for it`s ...

Great easy to use service

What do you like best? Easy to set up custom metric collection and dashboards. You get a lot of metrics collected automatically when you integrate with cloud providers like GCP. You get a lot of insight out of the data you collect. What do you dislike? High price. Charged per. We're migrating off of it at work because we can't prevent it from charging us for every new ephemeral host we start with Dataflow on GCP etc. Usage based billing would make more sense. Recommendations to ...

Excellent tool for monitoring everything in your infrastructure

What do you like best? Datadog is a monitoring service that gives you a great overview of the state of your infrastructure at any given time. I like how it works almost out of the box with many popular frameworks such as nginx, celery and django. The documentation and tutorials provided on the official website are quite good, and since Datadog widely adopted, it's easy to get one's questions answered. What do you dislike? It is sometimes hard to characterize log messages to the ...

Great monitoring platform

What do you like best? Data dog does a great job of providing a "single pane of glass" consolidated dashboard view of of our live applications and giving us a single go-to source of truth for performance monitoring. What do you dislike? The UI can be slow to load at times and is not 100% intuitive when setting up. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
