Like

1- fast load time 2- easy on the eyes 3- ingests data via webhooks

Like

Datadog provides real-time monitoring of IT infrastructure, enabling teams to identify and respond to performance issues as they arise. This minimizes downtime and application performance degradation, while monitoring different components of the infrastructure network.

Dislike

Sometimes the integrations are not straight-forward. They have great, up-to-date instrumentation, on modern, cutting-edge technology. For Organizations with On-prem legacy systems, there are limitations in some areas

Dislike

1- requires analytical mind for teams that dont neccessarily have that experience

Dislike

I have nothing to dislike about Datadog as a tool for Infrastructure monitoring.

    we use datadog for alert monitoring and logs. We use it for oncall and to detect issues before they happen. For example if storage becomes full on databases, an expensive query is taking too long, etc.
