Till now we have one of the good experience with the data dog as it is helping us a lot in monitoring our cloud and database server. A support from datadog team is also good thing to consider.

Pros

The best feature of data dog is real time monitoring of logs and vulnerability scan which stands unique to save the server and cloud from further damaging

Cons

The datadog user interface is very hard to learn and with the minimum training anyone cannot operate it fully also a lot of integrations are very difficult to operate.

Datadog has made backend monitoring and debugging much smoother for me. The ability to correlate logs, traces, and metrics in one place helps speed up root cause analysis. While there’s a bit of a learning curve initially, once set up, it becomes an essential part of the workflow.

Pros

As a backend developer, I find Datadog extremely useful for monitoring logs, metrics, and traces in real time. It integrates well with most tools and services we use, making it easy to identify bottlenecks or errors. The dashboards are highly customizable, which helps with specific backend performance tracking.

Cons

The pricing becomes expensive as usage scales, especially for log ingestion. Some of the advanced configurations, like setting up alerts for specific backend metrics, can take some time to figure out.
