What our clients say

Datadog Partner

MakeCloud transformed our observability setup in under two weeks. We went from scattered, noisy alerts to a single pane of glass that our whole engineering team actually trusts. Downtime dropped and we finally sleep at night.

Sarah Mitchell
VP of Engineering, Meridian Health
Datadog Partner

We tried to roll out Datadog ourselves but kept hitting walls with custom integrations and alert fatigue. MakeCloud’s engineers had it dialled in within days — clean dashboards, smart alerting, and proper APM across all our services.

Datadog Implementation FAQs

Common questions about our Datadog implementation services.

What is Datadog?

Datadog is a powerful cloud-based monitoring and analytics platform for infrastructure, applications, logs, and security. It helps organisations gain real-time visibility into their entire tech stack, enabling proactive troubleshooting, performance optimisation, and enhanced system reliability.

Why should we work with a Datadog Partner for implementation?

Implementing Datadog correctly requires in-depth knowledge of best practices across infrastructure, application monitoring, log management, security, and alerting. A certified Datadog Partner like MakeCloud ensures a tailored, efficient setup that delivers immediate value and long-term scalability.

What does a typical Datadog implementation include?

A typical implementation includes an initial consultation and infrastructure assessment, customised Datadog setup, integration with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), dashboard and alert configuration, log management and APM configuration, and a best-practice handover with documentation for your team.

How long does a Datadog implementation take?

It depends on the complexity of your environment. A basic implementation can take 1–2 weeks, while enterprise-grade rollouts may span 4–6 weeks. We offer quick-start packages as well as long-term managed support.

Can you help with a free Datadog trial?

Yes. As an official Datadog Partner, we can set up and manage a free 14-day Datadog trial for your business. Our certified consultants will guide you through the setup and provide ongoing support to help you assess whether Datadog is right for you.
