    With Datadog, IT security analysts are able to monitor cloud environments for real-time cyber threats, misconfigured permissions and compliance vulnerabilities, enhancing the organization’s security operations. The platform's ability to correlate security events is unmatched, though navigating its billing mechanics requires a dedicated cost-management strategy.

Datadog Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like the platforms built-in AI engine, Watchdog, that continuously scans large volumes of data points in the background instead of relying only on manually configured static alerts; Watchdog uses machine learning to establish performance baselines, automatically detect anomalies and identify the specific root cause of a system failure immediately.
