I am very keen on picking up some $DDOG shares tomorrow when it IPO'S. As part of my DevOps consultancy I recommend DataDog to nearly all my clients. They check all the boxes in one unified platform:
[X] Server / cloud resource monitoring and alerting [https://www.datadoghq.com/dashboarding/ https://www.datadoghq.com/dashboarding/]
[X] Logging [https://docs.datadoghq.com/logs/ https://docs.datadoghq.com/logs/]
[X] APM (application performance) [https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/ https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/]
[X] HTTP/API endpoint checks and alerts [https://docs.datadoghq.com/synthetics/ https://docs.datadoghq.com/synthetics/]
- Bombthecat 7y agoWhat do you think about sysdig?
- dev_dull 7y agoThe licensing costs were never feasible for me. What size shops do you typically consult for?
- nodesocket 7y agoStartups. < 40 servers typically.
- mrweasel 7y agoThey can give you discounts that makes licensing costs acceptable, if you have something like 10,000 devices. The pricing isn't unreasonable, but it adds up pretty quickly if you have lots of devices. The issue isn't unique to Datadog, other similar service have the same pricing structure and price levels.

- bdcravens 7y agoIt’s a good product, but they have some extremely aggressive sales processes.
- arcticfox 7y agoI am a Datadog fan, but I'm looking at migrating most of my workload to Honeycomb. It seems to do everything I normally do with Datadog, but better.
- Cpoll 7y ago> HTTP/API endpoint checks and alerts Do you manually configure these in the web UI? I wasn't able to find an API or repo sync for these last time I looked, and it doesn't seem feasible to manually make sets of synthetics for every environment we manage.
