Positioned based on its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision
Sydney, July 11 — Datadog, Inc., the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, today announced it has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms, 2025. This is the fifth consecutive year Gartner has positioned Datadog as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant.
The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms is a culmination of the Gartner research of the application performance monitoring (APM) and observability market. A Magic Quadrant provides a graphical competitive positioning of four types of technology providers, in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct: Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow; Visionaries understand where the market is going or have a vision for changing market rules, but do not yet execute well; Niche Players focus successfully on a small segment, or are unfocused and do not out-innovate or outperform others; Challengers execute well today or may dominate a large segment, but do not demonstrate an understanding of market direction.
Customer feedback is vital to Datadog’s product innovation. Below are two recent reviews of Datadog from the company’s profile on Gartner Peer Insights™:
“Datadog provides incredible insights into complex tooling. They continue to innovate and add new features regularly throughout the year, and their CSM [customer success management] team is very responsive and helpful,” said a Senior Director of Engineering at a software company. “The user interface is very clean and easy to use, even with a tremendous amount of data and features. The APM and USM [universal service monitoring] features have been invaluable additions to our observability and helping us remediate issues quickly. The Watchdog feature has also been terrific for proactive alerting of things that didn’t have specific monitors set up.”
“The insights that we’re able to get by building custom metrics within Datadog have been invaluable. We’ve managed to catch behaviors within our application that we otherwise wouldn’t have caught, and it’s helped us create a more reliable experience for our customers,” said an SRE Engineer at a healthcare and biotech company.
“It is significant for us to see Gartner name Datadog a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms for a fifth straight year,” said Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer at Datadog. “Product innovation and R&D continue to be key focus areas for us as both Datadog and our customers embrace AI to build and improve applications, workflows and cloud environments. We look forward to working with our user base to further our product strategy and leadership in the market.”
