    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
    we primarily use Kubernetes, and Prometheus is great for collecting time series metrics, especially in Kubernetes. and Grafana is used for dashboards. As these are open source, we host them and manage them internally. We choose Datadog because of its logs, traces, and …

    Chose Datadog
    1. Grafana is good, but a lot of integration is required for it to work. .that not the case of Datadog
    2. Faster to set up Datadog instead of Grafana
    3. Alerting in Datadog feels much easier thanin Grafana.

    Chose Datadog
    Better performance and visibility than what I was able to obtain out of AppDynamics

    Their OnCall offering is very fresh still, but is already almost at parity with Splunk On Call (VictorOps)

    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 …

    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 …

    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.

    Chose Datadog
    ease of use and implementation, other than New Relic (which I think is terrible in every possible way), the other two support opentelemetry better, have more manageable costs and comparable basic services, but they do not have the breadt of services dd does.

    Grafana Labs
    Chose Grafana
    Grafana has a direct plugin to Icinga monitoring solution and allowed for easy configuration for us. At the time of implementation, other services did not have such an integration. As we already had a very customized and heavily introduced monitoring solution in place, we …
