Verified User Anonymous Chose Datadog Datadog crushed the competition on price and offering more solutions in one product cutting down on implementation time and effort while ensuring that the "integration" between one of their offerings was completely compatible with any of the others.

Our AWS and Sentry usage will continue for now. But Datadog gives us a much broader coverage - we can monitor our AWS services and many other services that interact with them. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Datadog Dynatrace was cheaper but, in my opinion, its setup, features, and overall user experience do not come close to what Datadog can offer, making it more of a pain to use and not worth the cheaper cost over Datadog (especially if migrating away from Datadog to dynatrace). … Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Datadog New Relic was a good tool but had really pushy salespeople.

Gabriel Samaroo Senior Software Engineer Chose Datadog Datadog has been harder to setup out-of-the-box compared to its alternatives, although it's graphs and dashboards have been more useful.

User Testimonials
	Datadog	Veeam ONE
Likelihood to Recommend	A one-stop solution for everything you need. Multiple functionalities are tailored to meet specific business needs. Logs are essential for any business, and Datadog manages logs effectively. Rum sessions are something new to me and have given us a new perspective on how to reverse engineer issues that we see for our customers. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Veeam One works great for monitoring virtual infrastructure. However, other dedicated server monitoring apps do better with monitoring the individual VMs. Where it stands out is its reporting functionality, which allows you to forecast growth and keep track of how you are using your resources. It is also great for companies without a big monitoring budget, as there is a pretty functional free version. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Create Dashboards as per application, environments, and Custom metrics in one panel. Log aggregation, one-stop Application monitoring tools for the whole infrastructure. Playbooks, SLA definition, success and error quotas, request visualizations. DB monitoring, Serverless stack monitoring. Alerting of Production incidents so we can quickly resolve the issues on time. Incentivized Aman Makwana DevOps Engineer Read full review	Proactive Alerting - the product can provide email alerts to notify one of any issues in the environment. Capacity Planning and Forecasting - it has the ability to provide an analysis of the current environment as well as provide a report to forecast future capacity requirements. Monitoring and Reporting - the software can monitor you environment 24x7 with the ability to provide comprehensive reporting. Incentivized Zakarieya Abderoef Solutions Architect Read full review
Cons	Alert windows cause lag in notifications (e.g. if the alert window is X errors in 1 hour, we won't get alerted until the end of the 1 hour range) I would appreciate more supportive examples for how to filter and view metrics in the explorer I would like a more clear interface for metrics that are missing in a time frame, rather than only showing tags/etc. for metrics that were collected within the currently viewed time frame Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Basically the products works very well and we have been very pleased, but following are some picky details I could suggest for improvement specific to our needs. We leave the GUI up on a TV in our Office and on our desktops to visibly see if anything is alerting. It would be nice if you could customize the view to have a smaller minimum view with just the widgets you wanted. When the GUI starts on a multi-monitor setup it always returns to the primary and any popup windows always go to the primary instead of the monitor you have the application running in. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Datadog's user interface is quite friendly and easy to navigate. With menus clearly categorized, and ability to bookmark important dashboards, one can easily find what they're looking for. For dashboards, ability to move and resize visualizations and group them, is really helpful to organize dashboards. Automatic suggestions from Datadog for important visualizations based on the metrics and logs would provide another level of ease of use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The software is a joy to use. The user interface is good overall and you can find frequently needed things easily and quickly. Some less frequently needed things eg. settings are hidden under several menus and one might have to look for those for a while. We also haven't had any issues with the products reliability. Incentivized Veli-Matti Mäkelä System Administrator Read full review
Support Rating	The support team usually gets it right. We did have a rather complicate issue setting up monitoring on a domain controller. However, they are usually responsive and helpful over chat. The downside would be I don’t think they have any phone support. If that is important to you this might not be a good fit. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Support, as mentioned earlier, is often slow to respond for Veeam ONE requests. To Veeam's credit, they will work on an issue until they find a solution, and will even develop a specific hotfix for your environment if one is needed, but response time is just slow. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	I selected Datadog because of its features and the wide range of integration support. As I already told it supports more that 600+ integrations which helps and organization to keep everything in a single place and also its AI feature which is reducing the time for root cause analysis. Its custom dashboards features which helps us to visualize the data in a more attractive way. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Veeam One is very easy to use, easy to configure and get what you want. The integration for Veeam Backup is perfect, for today i think Veeam need to make Veeam One monitor Microsoft 365 envirioment, this will give great imput and integrated with Veeam Backup for 365 will be amezing.

Return on Investment	Saved us (time & money) from developing our own monitoring utilities that would pale in comparison Alerts allow us to remedy issues before our customers even know about them Tracking resource usage over time allows us to better plan for future needs, before it becomes a pain-point. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The most valuable reports can safe us a lot of headaches and downtime. What used to be an emergency once in a while is an afterthought as we proactively prevent those same issues in less than 5 minutes a week. The simplicity has allowed us to offload some virtual environment monitoring to a junior associate. Initial deployment took some time because we couldn't get licensing figured out, but it has been smooth sailing since then. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
