One Consol for everything related to monitoring
Excellent.
PROSI need not have multiple monitoring solutions for different Applications. So, creating combined Dashboards/Monitors/Alerts is very convenient.
CONSPricing is a little on the high end, but it's definitely worth it .
Reasons for switching to Datadog
Features on Datadog are much easier to use and varied in comparison to other tools.Also, DD team listens to customer requests and are always adding new add-ons/upgrades/feature as per the customer requirements.

Datadog is great! Room to improve but definitely the future of observability
For us the most liked feature of Datadog is the possibility to compare all data that we received from our platform. Being able to compare the platform status, the network status, the performance traces, the logs is really helpful letting us find issues where we couldn't find if we will do it manually.
CONSDatadog is great but it misses something, for example it could include a self remediation tool. Since every server has already installed a Datadog agent it would be so helpful if with the UX we could add, edit or delete custom checks in python or something like that, and if we could automate some actions programmed in the UX so we could work and integrate with escalation policies, alerts and more.
Reasons for switching to Datadog
Pandora was not escalating like we expected and we wanted to search for a unified product that covers everything we need, server monitoring, database monitoring, APM...

Everything in a single pane of glass
I have had a great overall experience with the product, the customer success team, and the support team at Datadog. I would highly recommend.
PROSDatadog is a solid and stable product. They provide easy to use features and functionality that sets the standard for APM and Security tools - and their suite of tools is continuously expanding to important areas. The APM capabilities were able to handle our complex technology stack with little to no configuration necessary.
CONSNot necessarily a con, more of a caution to monitor your consumption.. We worked with the customer success team to ensure our account was right sized based on forecasted usage. In the beginning we had to monitor our on-demand consumption as we outgrew our initial needs, this was handled incredibly well by the Datadog team, but you do need to keep an eye on your own consumption to avoid additional costs.
Reason for choosing Datadog
We felt the specific mix of technologies covered by their APM was a differentiating factor for us.
Reasons for switching to Datadog
We were looking to consolidate our output from our cloud provider to reduce I/O traffic and security risk. Also, we felt the use of Datadog would simplify our integrations (and the number of integrations overall) by using a multi-purpose tool.
