We're still fairly new to Datadog, so don't have much to pull from, but I would say sometimes the UI/UX gets a bit confusing the deeper you get into panels and views. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless UI analytics and session replay"

Sometimes its a bit tricky to match the UI logs with the BE information, mostly configuring and finding tracing has been a little challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"datadog"
What do you like best about Datadog?

Datadog provides a unified observability platform that’s incredibly easy to integrate across our stack. I especially appreciate how seamless it is to correlate logs, metrics, traces, and dashboards in one place—it reduces context switching and enables faster debugging and root cause analysis. The intuitive UI and out-of-the-box visualizations also make it accessible to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datadog?

While Datadog is powerful, the pricing can become difficult to manage as usage scales—especially with high-cardinality metrics or large log volumes. Additionally, some configuration options (like log pipelines and monitor tuning) can feel complex or unintuitive without deeper documentation or prior experience.

There are so many features! It can be hard to figure out exactly how to get the most out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decoding Chaos with Datadog"
What do you like best about Datadog?

What impressed me most was how observability didn't feel like an afterthought. From the momentI integrated our service, I started discovering unknown bottlenecks without even setting custom alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datadog?

Switching between dashboards, logs, and monitor sometimes felt like context switching between apps. I wished there were more shortcuts stitch it together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
