Alternatives to Datadog
Observability for the cloud age.
- What is Datadog?
- Datadog is a cloud monitoring and observability platform covering infrastructure, applications and logs.
- What does it do?
- Collects metrics, traces and logs through agents and integrations, then charts them in dashboards with threshold and anomaly alerting. Adds APM, error tracking, synthetic checks and real-user monitoring.
- Who is it for?
- Platform and SRE teams running production systems that need metrics, traces and logs in one place. Log-heavy workloads get expensive, which pushes smaller teams to narrower tools.
