Pros

“By bringing metrics, application performance monitoring (APM), and log management into one interface, it gives developers and operations teams a practical way to monitor fast-moving environments like cloud services and containerized systems.”
KH

Kira H.

Software consultant

“Only a few minutes are required to setup the monitoring agents and we have pre-built integrations for cloud infrastructure that help our IT team to save a lot of manual configuration time.”
EA

Elizabeth A.

Systems Adninistrator

“It replaced stitching together separate metrics, logs, and tracing tools with one correlated platform, which shortened incident resolution and gave the team much better visibility into production.”

Software Engineer

Pros

“This really helps with board reporting, taking the sting out of having to trawl GA4 and export and make accessible.”

Jake L.

Global Marketing Manager

“Utilising a mix of G suite and Microsoft looker can pull data from both googles platforms and microsoft as well as CSV files.”
DS

Daniel S.

Project Lead

“It now automates a large amount of marketing analytics reporting with few issues, saving serious staff time.”

Cons

“The biggest downside of Datadog is the cost, especially for larger organizations that generate a high volume of logs and monitoring data. While the platform provides many valuable features, pricing can become difficult to manage as usage grows.”
EV

Edwin V.

Dev Manager

“Pricing is the big drawback: costs can climb quickly and unpredictably as you add hosts, custom metrics, and log ingestion, so you have to actively manage what you send.”

Kaynan S.

Software Engineer

“The pricing can also become expensive as usage, data volume, and the number of monitored services increase.”

Beulah G.

Senior business analyst

Cons

“Query Performance Delays,When querying massive unaggregated datasets or complex joins, loading times can drag down dashboard performance.”
KH

Kira H.

Consultant

“The amount of data can be overwhelming and we find that a lot of clients won't look at the dashboards unless we're looking at it with them in a meeting.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

David V.

Lead Developer

“Sometimes, for really specific visuals, I have to export data or use other tools, which isn't ideal. While you can build custom visuals, it's not as straightforward as I'd like, and the standard options feel a bit basic for telling richer data stories.”
