"Efficient and reliable."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Datadog?

Extremely reliable.

Ability to fine tune Custom metrics and logs ingested -> this helps to control the cost.

Many features integrated together multiplying the efficiency of Datadog as a global Observability solution.

It is easy to implement and to use.

Integration with 3rd parties is most of the time straightforward.

Scales well with a large organisation.

Dashboards and queries are very responsive even with a very large amount of data.

The Datadog team is very responsive, they already implemented most of the feature requests we suggested (over 10 in a year) which is impressive.

Support is also responsive and we have most of our issues solved in a reasonable amount of time.

The platform is used intensively be the developers across our organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datadog?

I don't like Zendesk, it is quite poor to interact with support compared to Datadog platform.

Terraform and APIs often take longer to catch up with new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful and User friendly Observability Platform"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Datadog?

Datadog is very easy to use and provides a unified platform for monitoring, metrics, logs, and traces. I really like the Log Explorer, it’s powerful and flexible, especially when building complex queries to filter and analyze data. The Metric Explorer and APM features are excellent for tracking performance and identifying bottlenecks across different services. User management is straightforward, and setting up monitors is quick and reliable. Integration is also straightforward, in our case, we use it with Microsoft Teams and Azure without any issues. Their customer support has always been responsive and helpful whenever we’ve needed assistance. Overall, it’s a powerful and easy-to-use observability platform that provides deep visibility across systems and applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datadog?

Dashboards can feel limited at times, building more advanced or highly customized visualizations isn’t always straightforward.

Another drawback is the cost as Datadog can become extremely expensive if not managed carefully, especially when log volumes or monitored hosts grow quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
