Our team members do not have to worry anymore about data incidence response. This makes reporting seemless. Accessing realtime response prompts are now easy and analysis has been greatly improved. We get the required support needed from the datadog team. > > **Cons**: Im not sure about datadog ability to immediately update response report when i switch online from offline time, except incases where i have to relog in. I understand this helps with data security. > > Overall, datadog has been a high level security structure for our entire system. Fixing bugs could help greatly. ----- ### "Datadog the one stop shop for all observability needs" — 5.0/5 > **Vaibhav** | *18 December 2025* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I find Datadog's Observability offering quite comprehensive. It's like our 1-stop shop for all monitoring needs and has helped us get rid of other tools as most could be done here effectively. The ease of use and friendly UI, tagging and integrations all add to reason of having it as your preferred tool. > > **Cons**: There is lot of products renaming and navigation updates that always keep going on with the platform. Sometimes the products are made GA without 100% diligence about bugs and usability. Billing \& Usage although transparent, can sometimes be difficult to understand. > > Datadog is our strategic Observability platform which is perceived well within the entire organization. We find Datadog always staying ahead of other platforms for tech adoption and building observability around it. ----- ### "Great live monitoring tool" — 5.0/5 > **Flavio** | *1 November 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great tool to live monitoring logs from front end interface with customers.
