Datadog has been recognized by Forrester Research as a Leader in its report, The Forrester Wave: Intelligent Application And Service Monitoring, Q2 2019. Unlike previous industry analyst reports, this one gives a nod to the changing landscape where customers want a unified view across all components of their software for faster problem detection and diagnosis. According to the report, Datadog provides a unified dashboard that keeps practitioners in-context when troubleshooting performance issues, giving staff members greater visibility than previously deployed tools, allowing them to react faster. The report validates Datadog's strategic goals, including releasing new features such as Synthetics API Tests and Browser Tests to address customers' needs for monitoring user experiences. Forrester evaluated 13 vendors across three categories, with Datadog scoring highest in the strategy category, and the company is committed to building a unified experience for its customers by expanding its service offerings to cover adjacent areas that are important to them.
