"Amazing UX"
What do you like best about Datadog?

The user experience of DataDog is amazing. The granuality and flexibility of filters and charts makes it easy to quickly sift through large amounts of data and find what you need. This is especially useful when trying to quickly troubleshoot an incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datadog?

One annoying thing about DataDog is working with IoC configurations that are defined in Terraform.

It's tough to make changes to your configurations because you need to deploy them in order to see if you did it correctly. It's also not possible to lock down resources defined with IoC, so sometimes people will edit something via the web UI that was conficuged in Terraform and then their changes will get reverted when Terraform re-deploys and they won't know why.
