“We have various Amazon Web Services (AWS) solutions, containers, servers and applications to monitor. Infrastructure metrics and logs often work together to tell the full story of what’s happening within an application, so we find ourselves continuously jumping from Datadog to another third party log management solution to connect the dots – an integrated solution native to Datadog is a tremendous gain of productivity.” – Fabien Jallot, Head of DevOps at 24 Sèvres

“Some vendors are beginning to work on methods for displaying, correlating and retaining just the logs that are likely to be useful in use cases like troubleshooting. The idea is to cut down on potential costs related to collecting and retaining a large set of logs.” – Nancy Gohring, 451 Research

“Most organizations have five or more tools monitoring their IT infrastructure. There is a growing interest in a single dashboard that unifies data from all monitoring tools.” – Gartner, Market Guide for IT Infrastructure Monitoring Tools, Will Cappelli, Pankaj Prasad, 6 June 2017
