Datadog Erfahrungen

Using Datadog to guarantee bug-free software

Kommentare: It's an intuitive program that provides users with comprehensive records of all recent actions. Displays success or failure of the process. If the attempt fails, identify the faulty stage. It explains everything from beginning to conclusion.

Vorteile:

All of Datadog's basic building blocks are top-notch. Their data ingestion is lightning fast and (usually) dependable, their graph widget is adaptable and usable in a wide variety of contexts, and they have a good track record of introducing products that combine these features.

Nachteile:

Our experiences with Datadog support have been continuously negative; the company goes out of its way to avoid direct communication and offers irrelevant answers.

Great & rich centralized observability tool that just works!

Kommentare: I've used Datadog for several years now. It is my go-to observability tool. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

Vorteile:

- Centralized observability - Rich features, covering end-to-end stack - Good UI/UX experience - Rich integration with other libraries and frameworks - Reliability and scalability

Nachteile:

- The pricing model is too rigid. It can be expensive when you have the scale. - The pricing model can be too complicated to understand - No startup or credits offering

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Grafana, Elastic, New Relic und Honeycomb

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Datadog: - Centralized observability - Rich integration - Serverless and little overhead

Review datadog

Kommentare: Average log for enterprise. Pricey but does the work

Vorteile:

Good for searching logs. Can capture log in real time

Nachteile:

Hard to search for logs. Too many configurations

Effective Monitoring Solution

Kommentare: Overall, Datadog gets the job done. Through APM, tracing, infrastucture metrics and log explorer, I’m able to triage my incidents effectively. The Watchdog product is also super convenient. Its able to general catch issues/changes that may impact your business. Its very useful especially when/if you’re missing some alerts that were not accounted for.

Vorteile:

The UI and UX is intuitive for the most part.

Nachteile:

Depending on the product being used, UI can be alittle overwhelming and complex.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: New Relic

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Datadog: At the time, cost reduction and we ended up getting more value from it.

Staff platform engineer

Kommentare: It has been great, you guys rock, keep delivering good features. I would like to see more around Networking but pricing is complicated ;-)

Vorteile:

The support from Datadog team along the year to tackle bugs and also beta testing new products and providing feedback

Nachteile:

The fact that we need a PhD to be able to understand Datadog pricing model XD

The Best in the Business

Kommentare: Datadog is fantastic. Expensive, but fantastic.

Vorteile:

The easy of visualizeation and searching vs any other platform.

Nachteile:

Navigating is difficult, it relies on you memorizing icon means what, or what dropdown a service falls under.

Monitoring machine

Vorteile:

A powerhouse of a tool for monitoring every bit of application stack, infrastructure, state of business

Nachteile:

A lot of options and functions sometimes makes it hard to find the one you need

Happy switch from ELK to Datadog, and more

Kommentare: Overall, I am happy with it. The transition from ELK stack to Datadog feels intuitive.

Vorteile:

Everything is packed into one platform, that makes it the single point when it comes to monitoring.

Nachteile:

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.

Great featureset

Kommentare: Good experience. Quite easy to configure.

Vorteile:

APM, the wide range of available features.

Nachteile:

The UI can be a bit sluggish/slow at times. Can be pricy

DataDog Suggestion from Software Engineer

Vorteile:

Tracing is awesome. With the help of Trace attribute i can track every method call.

Nachteile:

Takes more storage/memory in the dll with respect to new reli*

Great Product

Kommentare: I've been a user at multiple companies for years. Each one I championed integration and management was quickly happy with the ROI.

Vorteile:

One-stop shop for logs and infrastructure status

Nachteile:

Hard to teach new users where to find things at times. Especially with Monitors.

Excellent solutions that need some more explaining

Vorteile:

All-in-one out of the box solutions for observability

Nachteile:

Documentation is lacking in certain APIs. Specifically, the python SDK seems to have features that aren't mentioned in the documentation for dashboards. The widgets are able to accept **kwargs that exist in the JSON definition in the dashboards, but not in the documentation

Great tool

Kommentare: It's been a very positive experience and had the opportunity to join a webinar organised by Datadog

Vorteile:

Based on how it is set up and connected you can find all your logs in one place.

Nachteile:

no cons I can think of at the minute as it meets our needs

I love DataDog

Vorteile:

Trace, Log, Notification, DataDog RUM, Error Tracking

Nachteile:

Monitor, Performance Monitoring, DataDog Log for Front End (React)

Datadog review for Fintech

Vorteile:

Creation of custom dashboards. Event tracing is easier to debug by developers.

Nachteile:

Login is bit of a hassle. Have to go through SSO every single time.

Datadog the standard of logs

Kommentare: Overall, datadog is a good tool that I use within our organization's tool stack to look at logs to identify issues and troubleshoot for our customers.

Vorteile:

The dashboard in datadog is very customizable, allowing me to view metrics and logs to my preference. This in my opinion, allows me to work very efficiently. I also appreciate the alerting system as it helps me catch and identify problems.

Nachteile:

The learning curve was a bit hard to understand at first, as there was a lot of options at the start that makes it feel overwhelming.

Complex but absolutely a must use

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

Vorteile:

Exhaustive it covers almost every aspect of monitoring an application

Nachteile:

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)

Datadog has been super helpful

Vorteile:

Dashboard and session logs all at one place is good thing to have, also the services listed and getting data around it is also good. Information of service like chart, logs, APIs are good as well

Nachteile:

Tracing logs can be made bit more simpler like the most useful resource columns should be added directly

Datadog review

Vorteile:

Reliability. Clean and intuitive user interface.

Nachteile:

Pricing. Also, the documentation is a bit confusing at times.

Usage experience for data streams with Datadog

Vorteile:

The efficiency and features of the tools, how quickly it can fetch logs and extensive search features.

Nachteile:

Sometimes, it become very difficult to get log of a particular data stream or single stream and need to search alot of logs. Plus, there should be a text feature so don't need to click each log or hover feature.

Intuitive Monitoring

Really good dashboards and insights. APM is my favorite

Nachteile:

Better UI with font and style could be useful.

Best Solution For IT Management
