    DatadogDynatrace
    Considered Both Products
    Datadog
    Chose Datadog
    Dynatrace was cheaper but, in my opinion, its setup, features, and overall user experience do not come close to what Datadog can offer, making it more of a pain to use and not worth the cheaper cost over Datadog (especially if migrating away from Datadog to Dynatrace).

    Chose Datadog
    Easier to set up and integrate with other auxiliary tools. The cost was also a benefit along with self-service capabilities. We could set up Data Dog by ourselves, versus needing to bring additional consulting efforts to setup Dynatrace. Reliability of results (less false …
    Incentivized
    Chose Datadog
    Datadog crushed the competition on price and offering more solutions in one product cutting down on implementation time and effort while ensuring that the "integration" between one of their offerings was completely compatible with any of the others. I'm sure it's not the case …
    Incentivized
    Chose Datadog
    The first reason for selecting Datadog was of course it's pricing which is quite better in terms of competitor like AppDynamics and splunk. Second thing is versatile services which they are offering on one platform which means entire end to end services can be monitor at one …
    Incentivized
    Chose Datadog
    It's a one-stop solution for all our needs whereas in other open-source tools, we have an operational overhead to keep and manage the uptime of these tools as well and also manage their versioning, upgrade, and patching cycle. Also if there are any bugs then we have to raise an …
    Incentivized
    Chose Datadog
    UI of the Datadog is easy to understand and integration steps are easy to understand. It also provides the troubleshooting steps which are easy to understand. Supports multi cloud integrations which is very important for all the customers to know about the cloud service's …
    Incentivized
    Chose Datadog
    I selected Datadog because of its features and the wide range of integration support. As I already told it supports more that 600+ integrations which helps and organization to keep everything in a single place and also its AI feature which is reducing the time for root cause …
    Incentivized
    Chose Datadog
    Datadog is best for cloud-native and fast-setup. It is more mature for infrastructure and real-time observability. The UI is more user-friendly and provides wide coverage of app insights.

    Dynatrace LLC
    Chose Dynatrace
    Dynatrace gives the overall picture of the application usage and performance by default with minimal configurations whereas in Datadog a lot of manual intervention is required to analyze the application performance and troubleshooting the issues. Dynatrace is user-friendly when …
    Incentivized
    Chose Dynatrace
    Datadog is a good system but does lack a lot of features provided by Dynatrace, and more importantly, it does not have the support Dynatrace provides. Many other systems, Zabbix, Nagio, AppDynamics also exist, but so far, Dynatrace really shines above them all.
    Incentivized
    Chose Dynatrace
    There are many pros and cons. For some use cases, Dynatrace far exceeds the capabilities of the competition--for instance in automatically detecting issues and performing root-cause analysis, Dynatrace is clearly ahead of the others. For cloud monitoring, Datadog seems to have …
    Incentivized
    Chose Dynatrace
    Datadog is a little harder to use from an end user standpoint but is probably a little more flexible from a script/automation perspective; it has more granular permissions but default access is not ideal for our usage. Sensu doesn't do application performance monitoring. …
    Incentivized
    Chose Dynatrace
    Dynatrace is much more intuitive than Datadog and Splunk Enterprise.
    Incentivized
    Chose Dynatrace
    Datadog does not have any APM capability, so you would need multiple tools to accomplish what Dynatrace does out of the box. It was a no-brainier.

    I preferred Dynatrace - hands down.

    Chose Dynatrace
    Our technical team showed me the completeness of Dynatrace against the competitors. Also, the breadth of services Dynatrace offered was a selling point.
    Incentivized
    Chose Dynatrace
    Dynatrace has the best features and is a more complete product.
    Incentivized
    Chose Dynatrace
    Dynatrace leads the pack when you are looking for application performance monitoring, but the other tools are better suited for certain areas of specialty. Elasticsearch is better than Dynatrace at log aggregation. Prometheus is better than Dynatrace at collecting custom …
    Incentivized
    Chose Dynatrace
    Dynatrace is a premier tool for hybrid environments. It also happens to be the most expensive. Dynatrace is bad at pricing and customer success. They charge a premium but do offer one of the better solutions on the market.
    Incentivized
    Chose Dynatrace
    Dynatrace provides the deep dive analysis on our pure paths like none other. The AI capabilities are very promising and helpful in our drive toward self-healing systems. We also like the bot, Davis, that can help solve some of the ops issues.
    Incentivized
    Chose Dynatrace
    It is so much easier to deploy and use that it is almost impossible to compare.
