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

“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.

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.”
