Overall Satisfaction with Datadog
It is used to monitor multiple hosts for networking, compute, and memory along with application-level metrics (errors, performance, etc). This allows for site reliability engineers to determine the cause of errors and gain other data for root cause analysis (RCA).
- Visualization
- Network mapping
- Error finding
- Navigation to new areas can be counterintuitive.
- Quick to implement (great documentation)
- Expensive to run at scale
- Great visualization to dive into data
Kubernetes with Prometheus and other open-source options. It is prone to more toil to set up but the stack can be largely replicated in open source technologies.
