Offers versatility. It’d be nice if it came with support for wallboard.

What are the best aspects of this product?

Flexibility at its finest. It's capable of tracking just about any metric out there. Great dashboad functionality. Dashboards can easily be shared.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Its agent hogs a lot of memory. Its front-end allows you to make different kinds of graphs. It's a bit difficult in making a TV-friendly dashboard that can read from far off. From time to time, a user would get logged out.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We were in need of a powerful and flexible solution in tracking varying metrics. These would include knowing the number of errors, loading and response time, stats of job execution, and etc... Thankfully, Datadog gave us the ability to carry all these in a single tool. It does so in a way where we won't have to tinker with code just to make a different data representation.
