We are happy to announce a newly founded partnership with Datadog, an exciting and unique systems and applications monitoring company.Datadog’s approach to monitoring applications and making performance metrics actionable is by far the best one we have come across. Their SaaS product takes a few minutes to set up and is highly and simply customizable. Having Datadog onboard will help us to maintain the highest quality service for our clients at all times with little effort.
Datadog allows us to monitor our systems and application parameters, such as from CPU, network, disk latencies and load all the way to our own Hadoop metrics so that we can quickly identify and remedy problems and bottlenecks. With Datadog we can much better align our infrastructure performance and capacity with our business needs, which in turn allows us to deliver the most substantial services available. In addition to the fundamental monitoring features, the ease of setup and customization, the novel way to share insight out of monitoring data made Datadog an obvious choice for us.
According to our CTO, Giri Iyengar, one aspect that makes Datadog so good is its ‘extreme flexibility in allowing us to be able to understand what is going on with our servers via a very powerful, yet simple query interface’. Customer service and responsiveness have also been excellent.
We look forward to a productive and strong relationship with Datadog in the future.
