Why did we choose to partner with Datadog?
Posted: Sun Jan 26, 2025 5:58 am
We see ourselves as enablers for our customers with a high level of commitment – especially in terms of high-quality delivery. Datadog shares this passion and commitment with us.
This is also reflected in Datadog's positioning in the Gartner quadrant from April 2021. Here, Datadog was listed for the first time as a "Leader" in the area of "Application Performance Monitoring (APM)". As a native cloud solution without on-premise legacy, the Datadog platform also fits very well with the "Cloud Native Thinking" orientation of the "New School of IT".
In addition, we were particularly impressed by the following features of the Datadog platform:
Quick and easy setup
Datadog comes with over 400 connectors, so that almost all common systems and technologies can be connected within a very short time.
growing platform
The Datadog platform allows you to start with a small setup and luxembourg consumer email list scale volume and features as the application landscape grows. This keeps investment costs low at the beginning without limiting the options in later expansion stages.
feature completeness
Datadog offers a comprehensive set of monitoring and analysis features, including:
Infrastructure Monitoring
Container Monitoring
Serverless Monitoring
log management
Application Performance Monitoring
Network Monitoring
Real User Monitoring
Synthetic Monitoring
Security and compliance monitoring
Incident Management
What does the partnership mean for our customers, Datadog and adesso?
Datadog impresses in the area of "Cloud Native Monitoring and Alerting". The use of a professional solution in this area allows us and our customers to focus on the core technical processes and their implementation. At the same time, a holistic view of the entire system is provided from day one. This provides the security and freedom with which the cloud transformation can be driven forward in a concentrated manner without losing sight of the bigger picture.
What happens next?
Since Datadog cooperates closely with Google (GCP) and Amazon (AWS), it is obvious that adesso will recommend Datadog as a monitoring and alerting solution in cloud projects in the future.
In the Line of Business Banking, for example, Datadog will become the preferred monitoring and alerting solution in cloud projects. In projects based on the “ adesso financial platform ”, Datadog will be used as the standard monitoring and alerting solution.
We are currently examining how adesso can benefit from Datadog in monitoring existing customer platforms or applications as part of application maintenance.
Nevertheless, technology decisions always depend on the respective context. For our customers in particular, this means that we will continue to decide individually in the respective project context which monitoring and alerting solution best meets the requirements. We will continue to remain vendor-independent here.
On the other hand, everyone involved in projects in which the Datadog solution is used will of course benefit from our close partnership with Datadog.
I am looking forward to an intensive collaboration with our new partner and to new exciting projects.
