Avis clients sur Datadog

Avantages

Je trouve que DataDog est un excellent outil pour DevOps . Il fonctionne comme une ressource centrale pour gérer et surveiller les applications et infrastructures. C'est un logiciel convivial et facile à apprendre. En outre, j'aime sa flexibilité sur les données que vous pouvez suivre et surveiller en temps réel. DataDog continue d'ajouter de nouvelles intégrations et de mettre à jour son application et à publier de nouvelles fonctionnalités.

Inconvénients

Il n'y a rien que je n'aime pas extérieurement dans DataDog. Il est un bon logiciel. Mais je pense que le prix est un peu élevé vu du point de vue d'un individu ou d'une startup surtout qu'à mesure qu'il grandit, son prix augmente. C' est un peu cher mais la plupart des clients aiment la qualité.

Avantages

La surveillance sans agent des périphériques réseaux et son tableau de bord de surveillance personnalisable

Inconvénients

La fonctionnalité que je décrie est que malgré la personnalisation de son tableau de bord il est moins intuitif que les logiciels similaires

Avantages

C'est un bon logiciel de développement des applications très facile

Inconvénients

C'est très efficace et rapide. Je vous le conseille vivement

Avantages

Très pratique et très fiable pour l'utilisation

Inconvénients

Très recommandable, sans faille pour l'utilisation

Avantages

The metrics navigator, you start by picking a metric or server, and it then tells you all the information it is collecting from it, so you can start designing your monitoring dashboards and see the data that will appear as you go

Inconvénients

There are times where a chart would omit certain spikes, due to the way they aggregate values. But a quick email to support and they'll give you the settings you need to adjust not to miss such events, even when you look at a chart for the month

Avantages

Datadog is a solid and stable product. They provide easy to use features and functionality that sets the standard for APM and Security tools - and their suite of tools is continuously expanding to important areas. The APM capabilities were able to handle our complex technology stack with little to no configuration necessary.

Inconvénients

Not necessarily a con, more of a caution to monitor your consumption.. We worked with the customer success team to ensure our account was right sized based on forecasted usage. In the beginning we had to monitor our on-demand consumption as we outgrew our initial needs, this was handled incredibly well by the Datadog team, but you do need to keep an eye on your own consumption to avoid additional costs.

Avantages

Collect vital information and tracks data. The interactive dashboard helps me keep my information organized for effective use. this application monitors my data in the most efficient and easy way. The overall experience is wonderful for me and I would definitely recommend investing into this software.

Inconvénients

I have no issues with the software so far. it's a nice application

Avantages

The breath of features you can have under Datadog is truly impressive, everything from Application, Website, Synthetic monitoring is covered under Datadog, so you have all your observability needs on one platform

Inconvénients

Pricing, it can get really expensive monitoring on Datadog.

Avantages

The software can scale with the business needs. You can start with basic features or leverage many as you like (for $$) to gain deeper insights. Engineers once onboarded use it heavily to spot issues or troubleshoot more obscure bugs both in production and development.

Inconvénients

You often need to review usage and costs. Misconfigurations, migration projects (where legacy + new infrastructures are required), integrations which may cause double reporting need to be observed to prevent run-away spend.

Avantages

I really like that datadog offers a free tier to get startet with it. It helped building a net of monitoring around our servers and services. We have implemented a wide collection of (they call it synthetic tests) that we use as an continuous integration test suite. We even can monitor the performance of different application versions.

Inconvénients

Even if their locally installed agent on our servers is very flexible and can collect so many information, the configuration via YAML files is difficult to start with. The learning curve here is pretty steep in the beginning.

Avantages

-Best user experience-Unified view of all metrics. It is a lifesaver when troubleshooting performance issues-A broad range of product offerings

Inconvénients

-Expensive!-The pricing model isn't as flexible as it should be. You can only adjust your yearly contract 3 times per year.-Expect to spend more time managing costs than you would like.

Avantages

Generous free plan with detailed information both on server and application monitoring.

Inconvénients

Nothing unusual. Being a paid platform, it naturally set limits on its free plan (fair) but, for this reason, you may prefer the responsibility to deploy an open source alternative (to remove those limits) instead of upgrade to a paid plan.

Avantages

Datadog is intuitive, easy to configure, and easy to use.

Inconvénients

The cost for Datadog is too expensive.

Avantages

The searching and filtering capabilities where quite convenient

Inconvénients

The stability issues in the last year got more often than usual, which is quite problematic when you need access to you logs in real-time

Avantages

Datadog is probably one of the most notable analytics tool out there for large companies. It's easy to track users' flow in terms of what routes they're hitting, when they hit a snag and 404, or other metrics like how performant certain requests are which allows us to identify bottlenecks and get rid of them immediately.

Inconvénients

There is a steep learning curve I will say with this software and needs an expert to help lead tutorials or sessions to get the ball rolling with new tool users. Although there are many built in functionalities and easily customizable features, it can be overwhelming and hard to pinpoint exactly what type of analytics you're looking for. It's one of those softwares where you have to play around with it to get the stars to align and find a model or metric that works best for your customers and use cases.

Avantages

Being able to funnel AWS CloudWatch logs into Datadog made speed of deployment of Datadog incredibly fast - days instead of weeks.The log searching and faceting are extremely powerful. It's responsive, everything loads fast, and I can find single log lines in seconds.

Inconvénients

Being able to create facets on historical data would be great.When digging into log lines, being able to navigate back to previous lines that we read through would be great too. Sometimes we're clicking around so fast that a log line is long gone. I end up copying the URL and pasting it into a doc so I can refer back to it.

Pourquoi choisir Datadog 

We needed to be able to quickly search and facet logs, and view live logs, and have something that didn't require much more structure than logging out some JSON.

Avantages

Diligence, details and deep of monitoring all detail.

Inconvénients

capturing every single details, validity of details and more importantly capability to monitor everything!!!

PRTG Network Monitor

Avantages

It is simple to setup and maintain. Plus the UI is really easy to understand.

Inconvénients

Polling period of the alerts are not short enough. The lowest is every 5 minutes but if a site is down, 5 minutes is too long to wait to see if it is down.

Avantages

Application performance monitoring, server and database monitoring, dashboards & reporting, proactive incident management

Inconvénients

Sythentic queries are difficult to grasp. Need support for more geographies for application performance Monitoring

Easy to use and gives us the data we need to understand what is happening in our applications.

Inconvénients

It has taken us a while to implement. Ebs support is not as intuitive as others.

Splunk Enterprise

Avantages

Datadog provides a way of having a lot of information about your systems, clusters and infrastructure in only one site, being able to analyze valuable data for your company. It is possible to create alarms and notifications when overpassing some threshold or value, for example, when a service is down in your systems of when the CPU gets a high percentage of usage.

It integrates pretty well with tons of services and systems, such as Amazon Web Services, Apache, Nginx, several databases, and a long etcetera. Also, it is possible to send notifications to apps like Slack or Hipchat.

Inconvénients

Datadog is not very easy to use at the beginning and it needs a little bit of investigation but it is worth to learn it.

Avantages

From my opinion, with the most excellent features that Datadog has as user can track and take after logs in real time, something truly imperative to have within the case of extend is live. I usually like the idea of creating custom sees of sets of logs (with custom channels, information parsing and a parcel more) which user will share them together with the user group.

Inconvénients

Setting it up for the first time, seems like is a little challenging which is not at all simple to use or understand all the capabilities that Datadog provides at first. Interface is challenging and occasionally a roadblock. Then, filters are not very helpful if user fields are not properly mapped.

Avantages

Dashboards. Custom metrics. Ruby integration. Notebooks. Monitors & alerts.

Inconvénients

It takes time to understand each part and understand how to use it. It's a complex thing and if you're not familiar with monitoring systems it could be difficult to figure it out how you can find what you need.

Avantages

Able to ingest system logs, app logs, and other logs along with process stats and system metrics to get a wholistic picture of how your servers and applications are running for your business.

Inconvénients

Setup does take a while and there is several configuration files to adjust, but once this is done you will not need to touch them again for the lifecycle of the install.

Graylog

Avantages

Ease of use and flexibility. Beginning teams can leverage out of the box but you can grow into this product as it is quite feature rich. The product just works.

Inconvénients

It is so expensive that we consistently have to trim usage when not needed. Also due to this we have to justify the product constantly
