Boost operational resilience with centralized observability
Through our partnership with Datadog, we combine platform alignment with engineering depth across cloud, application, data, and reliability workflows, helping teams build observability into the way systems are operated and improved over time.
Datadog brings Database Monitoring, Log Management, Infrastructure Monitoring, and Watchdog into a shared operational layer. Simform extends that visibility into the broader engineering environment, where application behavior, database performance, infrastructure capacity, and service dependencies intersect.

Operational problems Simform resolves with Datadog
A Datadog partner with the full engineering picture
Simform’s view of your environment extends past the dashboards, into the architecture, cloud accounts, and compliance rules behind them.
Multi-cloud expertise
Simform delivers across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, with its Azure depth backed by Azure Expert MSP status. Datadog deployments follow the same tagging, monitor, and dashboard standards on every provider, so workloads that span clouds stay visible in one consistent view.
Backed by AIOps and managed services practices
Datadog work connects to Simform’s AIOps and cloud managed services practices, which tie alerts to the runbooks and remediation workflows teams rely on during incidents. The organization that sets a threshold is also equipped to respond when it trips.
Observability planned during the build
After more than a decade of engineering cloud platforms, data systems, and applications, our teams design instrumentation in while the software is still being built. Tags, traces, and service boundaries are set alongside the code, so dashboards and monitors reflect how the system works from the first release.
Co-engineering delivery model
Our engineers and yours work as one team and share decisions on architecture, alert ownership, and roadmap priorities. Knowledge moves in both directions throughout the engagement, so the observability practice holds up after it ends.
Trusted by the world's leading companies
“After researching and qualifying several software development service options for the development of a cross-platform application, we fortunately selected Simform as our partner. This turned out to be a very good decision overall, as their performance has been outstanding. The complete engagement from the Simform staff is remarkable. Their team diligently assesses and executes in a very competent manner.”
Sonny Cutwright, Operations Manager
Bon Appetit
“Simform rearchitected and modernized our subscription management & billing platform as part of the multi-phase development initiative. The team quickly understood our business requirements and delivered a modern, modular architecture aligned with our scaling needs. Without disrupting our operational workflows, Simform handled complex data migration with precision and supported our legacy modernization journey with seamless ERP integrations.”
Robel Yemane, Head of Engineering
Privilee
“Simform was an invaluable partner in our system modernization, moving beyond analysis to deliver true product engineering advisory. They analyzed complex legacy workflows into clear, validated, developer-ready user stories. The clarity and strategic consistency they introduced was foundational, directly influencing our cloud architecture and product design. Their work effectively accelerated our discovery phase and time to market.”
Director of Engineering
Datamark
“We partnered with Simform to centralize our preclinical research data. They understood technical data challenges and scientific workflows. They helped us build a platform for data ingestion, OCR-based extraction, standardization, analysis, and visualization. Our researchers can use natural language or a visual query builder to analyze complex datasets, while real-time charts and statistical outputs speed up discovery. We liked the ability of the team at Simform to combine strong data engineering capabilities with practical analytics experience.”
Data and Analytics Manager
Preclinical Research Analytics Platform
“The cloud migration was a great sucess. Very satisfactory, seamless and increased our productivity. The most impressive part about Simform is their dynamic and well-versed team. Anytime there was a concern, we were able to communicate and have it rectified immediately.”
President
Trusted Community Services Organization
“Simform led the discovery phase for our digital infrastructure overhaul, bringing a mix of deep technical expertise and a truly collaborative spirit. They took our complex requirements and turned them into a solid product blueprint and a clear, prioritized roadmap. Everything stayed on track thanks to their structured project management. The level of strategy and architecture they brought to the table gave us the certainty we needed to take the next steps.”
Department Manager
Eye Recommend
“Our overall experience with Simform was very positive. They worked as an end-to-end technology partner and integrated well with our engineering and operations teams. This was not just about building a mobile app; it also required careful thinking around data quality, workflows, and long-term system design. Simform brought a practical, product-minded approach and designed an Azure Data Factory pipeline to clean and organize data before it reached the app and admin dashboard.”
Marketing Manager
Patient-Facing Digital Application & Data Platform
“We’re very satisfied with Simform as our engineering partner. We wanted a platform to support the full lifecycle of our field inventory and ease operations for field reps, hospitals and analysts. They translated our complex requirements into an easy-to-use solution and handled development from UI/UX to backend and DevOps. The app works seamlessly across user groups and has a first-class, consistent and simple interface.”

Frequently Asked Questions
The timeline depends on the number of services and hosts in scope, how consistently your tags are applied today, and how many alerts need rebuilding from another tool. Simform measures all three in a scoping review before any agent is installed, so the rollout plan reflects your actual estate. The first phase covers the services on your critical revenue path. Agents are deployed through your existing infrastructure-as-code pipelines, with Database Monitoring and baseline monitors live from the start. The rest of the estate follows in planned waves, and each wave is validated before the next begins.
Datadog bills on separate dimensions, including infrastructure hosts, APM hosts, ingested and indexed logs, and custom metrics. Simform builds a usage forecast from your host and container counts, daily log volume per service, and expected custom metric cardinality. That forecast shows which dimensions will drive spend and where committed-use pricing makes sense before the contract is signed.
Yes. Datadog integrates with ServiceNow, Jira, PagerDuty, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Simform configures notification routing so each alert reaches the team that owns the affected service, and sets up two-way incident sync with ServiceNow where your ITSM process requires it.
Datadog runs separate sites, including EU1 for data that must stay in the EU, US3 hosted on Azure, AP1 in Japan, and US1-FED for US government workloads. Simform sets up your organization on the site that meets your obligations. Sensitive Data Scanner rules and per-index log retention are configured before production traffic flows.
Engineers sign in through your SAML identity provider and are mapped to a custom Datadog role. That role is scoped to each phase, for example monitor and dashboard write access without billing or user management rights. Datadog Audit Trail records every configuration change, and removing the SAML group mapping revokes access immediately.
Yes. Simform deploys the Datadog Agent and Cluster Agent through the Datadog Operator or Helm chart, managed in your existing GitOps workflow so every configuration change is versioned. Container, pod, and node metrics flow alongside application traces, which lets a slow request be traced to the pod and node it ran on.
