Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We retrieve historical data with just a click of a button to move it from cold to hot or warm because it's already stored in the backend storage"
"It has saved us a lot of trouble in implementation."
"APM is great and has provided low-effort out-of-the-box observability for various services."
"Thanks to the logs, we manage to make better reports through Jira and also to trace the request with more facility than we would be able to do otherwise."
"The flexibility to create notebooks and dashboards and fully customize them gives us a lot of power to track the exact services and endpoints we are working on."
"The full stack of integrations made it easier to monitor the different technologies and platform providers, including Software as a Service providers, that otherwise would need a lot of work and customization to be able to see what is happening."
"The many dozens of integrations that the solution brings out of the box are excellent."
"The product has offered increased visibility via logging APM, metrics, RUM, etc."
"The application performance monitoring is pretty good."
"It would be beneficial to have some level of customization available in the managed service, tailored to the specific use cases of the end users."
"To be very fair, I haven't had enough experience with Datadog to pick out improvements."
"ECS could be improved by including more tutorials for beginners to reduce the barriers to entry."
"The ability to find what you are looking for when starting out could be improved."
"The Log Explorer could be better. I don't think it has log manipulation as Splunk does."
"When I started using it years ago, it had stability problems. I remember, specifically, we ran everything in Docker containers. There were some problems getting it into a Docker container with very specific memory limits."
"The way data is represented can be limiting. When I first tried it out a long time ago, you could graph a metric and another metric, and they'd overlay, but you couldn't take the ratio between the two."
"Ingesting data from various sources to monitor the log metrics of the system can always improve so that, if something goes wrong, the right teams are alerted."
"It does not have the best interface."
