the ease it had in structuring information, extracting content, customization design, easy to use

E-Commerce Director

I used Klipfolio with many data sources, PostgreSQL, Salesforce, MySQL etc.

VP Strategic Initiatives

The difference between Klips and Powermetrics is not immediately apparent, it's a lot of trial and error to figure out how to maximize each.

MIS Admin

Sometimes, not sure whether the file is uploaded or not.

Coordinator

I wish the software had updates in real time

data analyst

I like it but I will have to review the price of the subscription

Vice President

I love that I can white-label the Klipfolio software so that my clients see my company branding when they login to view their metrics and marketing dashboards.   

Overall, the Klipfolio product has endless capabilities, but since we pay for a lower price service we are really left on our own to figure out the back-end customization of klip creation.   

Very good, customer service is very quick

Technical Driector

They doubled their price and I was not informed by email, then my card was charged and they refused to refund when I cancelled my account - not even a part refund!

Freelancer

Illustrations and formats are dealt with "naturally" and looks extraordinary.

The data visualizations offered are attractive and easy for my clients to understand.

Complex and expensive pricing

Pricing if very high, causes us to reduce retention.

It is very very expensive, the bill can be huge without a lot of tuning and supervision

Frontend architect

The dashboard building, especially building custom tailored ones for different needs (designers wanting user behaviour things, while product owners want business related things, while developers want performance, security and reliability by viewing bugs and issues).

Director, Enterprise Infrastructure Architect

The platform offers metrics, logs, APM, tracing, RUM, synthetics, security monitoring, which paired with excellent out‑of‑the‑box integrations and a strong support organization.

Software Developer and Consultant

It allowed us to create alerts for different metrics like application errors, network latency, and more.

I like that there were many cases where I needed a feature to do a task and was able to come up with a hack that enabled me to fulfill my task even though the feature was missing from datadog.

Log management, APM, and infrastructure monitoring work seamlessly together, which significantly improves incident detection and troubleshooting.

The consequences can include loss of information (due to the developer interpreting the stakeholder's need / wish differently) or confusion (the developer having a tech focused mindset and language while the stakeholders do not)

Im not sure about datadog ability to immediately update response report when i switch online from offline time, except incases where i have to relog in.

Marketing Coordinator

I like the ability to create very insightful dashboards, have very good control of logs, have lots of documentation and good customer support to understand the app.

We realized faster incident triage, better cross‑team collaboration, and measurable improvements in application reliability and release velocity.

SRE Manager

The ability to integrate it with nearly any application has proved to be essential for bringing multiple legacy systems under one easy view.

The primary downside is the cost. As our environment scales, Datadog becomes increasingly expensive, especially when ingesting large volumes of logs and metrics.

Software Engineer

We are able to use it as developers in my company to track down each step of the user journey through our system.

Dashboards / Notebooks containing logs / metrics / events / network / etc makes Data Analysis for me easier and faster.

I like that we have centralized most of our security alerting through Datadog SIEM, it makes it easier for incident management.

Devops Engineer

It’s sometimes difficult to list few features like the metric summary and custom metric volume as the site is slow.

Senior DevOps Engineer

Datadog brings metrics, logs, and traces together in one platform.

Analyst

This consolidation supports both short-term efficiency and long-term strategic transitions, such as moving toward a single data lake vision.

Cloud Engineer

Cost and Unpredictable Pricing, Cost and Unpredictable Pricing, Alert Fatigue and Limited Alerting Flexibility

This maybe the best value about Datadog, log management / pipelines / generating metrics / etc are very powerful and are great tools

It also offers RUM for user monitoring across different devices, custom metrics, as well as seamless integration with incident response tools.

Co-founder

We leveraged this tool to monitor a complex infrastructure, including EC2 instances, Redis, ElasticSearch, MariaDB, PHP, VueJS-based web applications, Socket connections, and other critical components.

Solution Architect

Datadog is an excellent observability platform that provides in-depth monitoring, logging, and security insights for cloud environments.

Software developer

Slo feature which helped us to show our client how reliable our services are and helped us crack deal.

infra, it is a basic metric monitoring tools and the interface is not user friendly for checking issue.

The security access into the application made it so we could control access with granularity.

Service Delivery Manager

The ability to actually drilldown and get detailed usage metrics.

RUM has helped us in identifying the frustrations of end user, visibly view how the end user is interacting with our application and ultimately serve our users better and improve usability for them.

QA Analyst

Easy to track and identify bugs and issues, even reproduce customers steps to visualize users behaviours.

Devops Lead

Sometimes I see differences in the data represented on Datadog vs Cloudwatch metrics.

This is especially noticeable with features such as handling “resources” in APM.

Cyber Security Specialist

The initial setup appears complex and support feedbacks can be delayed, especially in the course of intensive troubleshooting on custom data pipelines.

atadog is widely recognized for its robust observability features, especially in dynamic environments like AWS ECS and EKS.

App Developer

I liked least about Datadog was the pricing complexity—it can get expensive and harder to predict at scale.

Something to improve on is capture information logs whenever required in the RUM sessions in case we want to debug certain scenarios even before errors happen.

Devops

Datadog provides powerful monitoring and observability with extensive integrations, but its pricing and complexity can challenge larger deployments.

Technology Support Engineer.

We enjoy working with it, and we are impressed by its performance, customization options, stability, efficiency, security, Functionality, Modularity.

graphic designer

My favorite thing about Datadog was the clean and modern interface that is pretty intuitive once you learn.

Regional Director

It syncs well with other tools and gives us great overall visibility for monitoring the various challenges across different platforms.

While Datadog is powerful, configuring it properly (e.g., setting up monitors, fine-tuning alerts, and writing queries in its DSL) requires time and experience.

Not having a set price for using Datadog, the constant increase with new, on-demand services and understanding all the categories I can be charged for is becoming a huge pain point in my organization

I also like that the focus is slowly moving into non-tech as well (UX-design, feature management etc).

Overall datadog is a good products for monitoring, apm, rum and log management.
