Datadog

The app logs you out “because your session expired”. Session expired after… 1 day? Really? But worst of all when you clock “sign in again” it tells you that it can’t connect. And there is nothing you can do, it’s a dead end! Terrible UX. why log me out in the first place?

It’s so nice to be able to see my monitors and dashboards from my phone, so I can triage without opening my laptop. Saves me a bunch of time and I can triage faster this way.

Just get an empty gray box with an error when trying to add a dashboard chart to my Home Screen

I have monitors integrated with my NoSQL database and Datadog adds extra hidden data points for my online API’s. I can monitor my dashboards in one location and I never have timeouts on my servers.

If you try to open a monitor it says an error occurred and the only way to proceed is to open in safari. If you have a dashboard that is longer than about 24 charts, then no data displays on those later charts.

The Datadog mobile website is completely unusable. So any missing feature (resources especially…) are sorely missed. You’re only able to view a list of the resources and sort them. Can’t dive into them.

Can’t manually trigger synthetic monitors. Difficult to navigate app. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I have a multi-org setup, I can’t switch to my order from the primary org?

Years later and still working on logs?

This app pretty much is only useful for bare minimum observations. I can't look at logs at all on my phone. Mobile web is horrendous/impossible to look at logs because its design didn't consider mobile browsers and the app does not it available forcing me to have to take out my computer to check the logs of certain alerts which is annoying when I am on the go
