Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Datadog delivers solid monitoring value, particularly for teams running on AWS infrastructure.
Both reviewers praise the platform's dashboard speed and AWS integration, especially CloudWatch support that lets users set up monitoring without modifying hosts. The API is called robust and flexible, with users leveraging it for event tracking—like posting deployments to overlay against metrics for change correlation. Alerting based on metrics and events is highlighted as functional and useful.
The 4-star ratings suggest minor limitations, though neither review explicitly spells out frustrations. The feedback points to a tool that works well for its core use case—infrastructure visibility and event correlation—without being framed as exceptional or game-changing. One reviewer's 18-month tenure implies reasonable stability and ongoing satisfaction.

Smarter Agent“DataDog is an important part of monitoring at SmarterAgent, where…”
DataDog is an important part of monitoring at SmarterAgent, where we use their API's and Integrations heavily, especially the CloudWatch integrations for Amazon's Web Services (AWS). Using these, we have been able to put up effective dashboards for new environments in a matter of minutes. We leverage DD’s API primarily for eventing. For example, deployments are posted to DataDog (as events), where they overlay our metrics. This has proven very useful in tracking changes due to deploys and/or configuration changes. While we do leverage the DataDog agent for standard and custom metrics, DataDog’s ability to put together dashboards (and alerting) for AWS without any modifications to the host is what really closed the deal for us.

We are using with success Datadog since 18 months. At any time we have a good idea what is happening inside our application. They provide a robust API for integration and you can also setup some alerts based on metrics and events.
