Formerly known as Datadog Platform Co-Pilot, RapDev's Managed Datadog Reports are now available for free in the Datadog Marketplace.

Unlocking Cost Visibility with RapDev Datadog Platform Co-Pilot

In late 2023 RapDev delivered Platform Co-Pilot to the market. A first of its kind tool that allowed customers to get deep visibility into the governance metrics of their Datadog environment. Our customers jumped into Platform Co-Pilot and gave us feedback on what they wanted most and ultimately it was visibility into how their usage of Datadog was changing over time. Now in 2024 RapDev introduces Usage Tracker into Platform Co-Pilot. With Usage Tracker, customers get to see both their governance metrics and usage trends over time…all for free from the Datadog Marketplace. 

What is RapDev Datadog Platform Co-Pilot with Usage Tracker?

RapDev Datadog Usage Tracker is tailored to provide deep visibility into the utilization and cost trends of Datadog resources effectively. Whether you are new to Datadog or a seasoned user, this tool promises to elevate your monitoring capabilities to new heights.

Key Features and Benefits

Comprehensive visibility: The tracker provides comprehensive visibility of Datadog usage across various dimensions such as metrics, traces, logs, and synthetic monitoring. This holistic view allows teams to identify trends, pinpoint inefficiencies, and optimize resource allocation.

Cost Optimization: Optimizing costs without compromising performance is a perpetual challenge for IT teams. This tool includes features specifically designed to analyze cost implications of Datadog usage, helping organizations achieve a balance between efficiency and expenditure.

Customer Benefits: Customers who have used Platform Co-Pilot with Usage Tracker have identified hundreds of incidents where usage growth of over 20% week over week has happened and been identified before the growth was allowed to continue and severely impact end of the month billing. 

How It Works

Implementing Usage Tracker is straightforward now that it's been integrated into RapDev Platform Co-Pilot. After integrating with your Datadog account, the tracker begins collecting and analyzing usage data and users receive weekly reports on both the Governance and Usage Utilization for their organization. 

In conclusion, RapDev Platform Co-Pilot with Usage Tracker stands out as a powerful tool for organizations looking to harness the full potential of Datadog. By offering comprehensive visibility into platform governance metrics and cost optimization capabilities, RapDev empowers teams to achieve operational excellence with confidence.
