Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Datadog from other similar products?
Provision of full stack observability and not just network monitoring since it combines the three observability pillars namely metrics, logs and traces hence covers performance analytics, logs, network traffic, applications, cloud services and infrastructure. Contains a large integration ecosystem making it easy to integrate with the existing Finacial IT infrastructure.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It is a SaaS monitoring platform and this reduces infrastructure management overhead for my team Has a strong APM
What do you dislike most about this product?
Has a complex pricing structure that is dependent on APM traces, hosts, network and synthetic monitoring among others all of which make cost management quite challenging
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
For enhanced cost management control log and metrics retention by monitoring only the critical hosts, reducing log retention period, using sampling for traces and filtering all unnecessary logs.
