Compare Dynatrace and Datadog
Dynatrace | Datadog | |
|---|---|---|
End-to-end Observability | Dynatrace is architected explicitly for observability data. It is a single unified solution for all observability, security, and business data. All data is interconnected within a real-time model that reflects the topology and dependencies within a monitored environment. | Datadog has multiple monitoring products that are unified at the user interface. Data from the different products is siloed across multiple data stores and requires manual tagging to understand the dependencies. |
Fast time to value | Dynatrace provides fast time to value with a fully automated deployment process as well as out-of-the box reports, dashboards, and AI-powered analytics for immediate observability into the health and performance of applications. Dynatrace automatically provides topology and dependency mapping without the need to manually deploy multiple agents and tag resources. | Datadog requires installation and configuration of different libraries and agents for every runtime environment. Customers will need to invest in manual effort to keep Datadog agents current. Manual tagging is also required to understand the dependencies between different entities and is error prone in complex and dynamics environments. |
Trusted AI | Dynatrace analyzes full stack data automatically and delivers meaningful context from trillions of dependencies. Dynatrace eliminates complexities and provides real answers through intelligent root cause analysis. With Dynatrace, there is no need to sift through loads of disorganized data to identify root cause of a performance issue. | Datadog Watchdog is heavily dependent on setting up “Monitors”. It considers a limited set of data for baselining and relies on manual tagging for topology mapping (understanding dependencies). |
Predictable pricing | Dynatrace has a simple and flexible annual commit, with no monthly overages. Customers can easily manage and forecast Dynatrace spend. | Datadog has 24 products that are licensed differently with limitations. Customers are billed monthly on an annual commit and can incur overages. Additionally, customers are billed at high watermark levels. |
