Datadog verdict

The most capable observability platform, and the one most likely to surprise you on invoice. Set volume controls on day one.

  • Correlating metrics, traces and logs shortens incidents
  • Very broad product coverage
  • Fast agent-based setup

Netlify verdict

The neutral choice when your framework mix is broad or Next.js is not the centre of your stack.

  • Genuinely framework-agnostic
  • Built-in forms and identity save services
  • Straightforward agency multi-site management
