One Consol for everything related to monitoring

Reviewed on 19/12/2022

Excellent.

Excellent.

Pros

I need not have multiple monitoring solutions for different Applications. So, creating combined Dashboards/Monitors/Alerts is very convenient.

Cons

Pricing is a little on the high end, but it's definitely worth it .

Overall, after some ups and downs, they've been a good partner. Their tool is extremely powerful, and enables a lot of excellent practices around observability, but you have to pay for it.

Pros

End-to-end observability, great search and analytics capability

Cons

Can be expensive, especially at scale. They also introduce new features for free but then charge you later.

See pros and cons. My experience is mostly great. My go-to tool given the funds are there. Just be aware that support is lacking. I would love to see this improve and it would help us greatly if we were able to reliably get good help.

Pros

Ease of use, extensive features, intuitive design. By far the easiest observability platform I've ever used while also being the most feature dense. Impressive, and improving faster than I can even keep up.

Cons

Datadog support leaves much to be desired. They tend to be extremely dismissive, often trying to close the ticket as quickly as they can without offering any help. You really need to ask for escalations or hop on a call to get legitimate help the majority of the time. There is a long-running inside joke at our company that any bug we find will only get the response "ok, we can put in a feature request"...
