Intuitive, useful software at a reasonable price
What do you like best about the product?
I most like the fact that I have nearly complete control of what and how I monitor my infrastructure, but am not tasked with maintaining the monitoring infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some parts of the featureset are robust yet not intuitive. I would ideally like some cycles to be spent polishing those up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The largest benefit we reap is having a powerful suite of monitoring tools without having to maintain additional servers or troubleshoot connectivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Top Analytics monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to clearly see stats about company applications
What do you dislike about the product?
Some items are hard to find and take more clicks than expected to reach
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Get insights about apps that weren't know before. Quickly monitor network applications
Great SaaS monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
System stats, software stats, API endpoints, events, dashboards, alerts, mobile apps, all in one. Also basic APM and logging. Cloud integration plus agents, and extensible checks. Beats using something like nagios hollow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive at scale, very little discounting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of systems and services for production SaaS applications. It helps us discover issues both before and after they happen, and we use the dashboards both for system status and for business level dashboarding.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Monitoring's complicated. If you just take the defaults on graphs and alerts you're not necessarily going to be seeing what you want to see - you have to understand the sampling and available analytics and stuff, it's simple to set up but can be complicated to get a visualization or alert that really gives you what you want. Support can help a lot, though.
Outstanding metrics, logs, and alert aggregator
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is easily and cost effectively aggregated into a single repository. Support staff is quite helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Version upgrades on all clients should be manageable from a central console. Instead, they rely on integration with Puppet and Chef. In my opinion, while using something like Puppet should certainly be an option, an enterprise product should include the ability to centrally manage endpoint agents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log aggregation and publishing to our application development teams, correlation between time stamps on logs and related device metrics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Initial installation is super quick and easy.
You will likely hit a steep learning curve / wall when you start moving into more advanced tasks such as alerts based on multiple aggregated metrics, custom dashboards, and log consolidation. The support team is very helpful when you get to this point.
You may want to also ramp up on your skills with Puppet and/or Chef as this is needed for automating the client upgrades.

Monitoring as a part of DevOps processes
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is cloud based, so you don`t have to set up additional monitoring stations and can collect your data offsite. Great choice of APIs allows you to quickly set up monitoring to almost everything you may need, you can monitor availability and performance of your resources, collect different logs and set up alerting for critical events to be able to react quickly when these happens.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit expensive just for log analytics and metric monitoring
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud services and processes monitoring
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Actually a good solution but price may be not comfortable
Monitoring is one of most important parts in DevOps process
What do you like best about the product?
Datadog is cloud based solution, perfectly working with monitoring of your cloud deployments, wide range of different solutions on marketplace, good set of APIs, log analytics. You can not only see current state of your resources, but have a historical data for the same, so you can find the bottlenecks in your systems and get rid of these. If you will not find what you need on marketplace you can always develop your own solution and use it. Somebody told that it is very hard for new users, but it is not true, you just need to have some patience, when exploring the documentation. And you can always contact helpdesk, team if very responsible and will be able to help you finding appropriate solution for your needs
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very good for Azure if you are going to use marketplace solutions. Most of these are made for AWS and you will have to make something similar by yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Universal monitoring solution for cloud services and servers
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Contact helpdesk prior to build your own solutions, maybe you just didn`t find the same on marketplace
Clound monitoring for ckoud solutions.
What do you like best about the product?
Log analytics work perfectly, great APIs, performance management tools, informative dashboards and customization options. Datadog has a lot of pre-built solutions that you can implement in your infrastructure and if you will not find suitable solution you can build your own, great for AWS monitoring. Good customer support and documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of Azure monitoring tools, Datadog is very complex in building your own solutions. A bit too expensive for it`s functionality
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly AWS monitoring, it can done something in Azure, but choise of solutions is very limited
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Will not recommend this tool for Azure monitoring, set of solutions is too limited. You will need to have experienced developers to build custom solutions
