Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Cognition
AI agent
Autonomous coding agent that plans, writes, tests and ships code from a task description.
Local command-line coding agent that runs in the developer's terminal against local files, with Devin Cloud integration; bundled with Devin Desktop and presented by Cognition as a separate tool from the cloud-based Devin.
Developer tool
Desktop coding environment running Devin's agents locally, including custom background agents that carry a team's context between sessions.
Multi-agent coding architecture pairing a frontier 'lead' model (planning/review) with a cost-efficient 'sidekick' (execution), up to 39% more efficient than other coding harnesses on major benchmarks; available now in Devin Desktop and Devin CLI.
Datadog
AI agent
Coding agent that triages production errors, regressions and vulnerabilities from Datadog telemetry, generates fixes with unit tests grounded in logs, traces and runtime variables, and opens pull requests for review.
AI SRE agent that autonomously investigates every alert the moment it fires, explores multiple root-cause hypotheses in parallel and reports findings into Slack, Jira, ServiceNow or GitHub.
Always-on AI SOC analyst that autonomously triages and investigates security alerts and delivers written investigation results to Datadog, Slack or Jira within minutes.
Developer tool
Traces, evaluates and monitors LLM and AI-agent applications in production, with offline experimentation on datasets built from real traces.
Model Context Protocol server that gives AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor and Codex secure real-time access to Datadog logs, metrics and traces under existing RBAC controls.
No counterpart
Datadog sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Cognition yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Detects AI-assisted pull requests from coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor and GitHub Copilot and compares them on adoption, PR throughput, cycle time, change failure rate and daily cost per active user.
Conversational AI interface for querying Datadog metrics, logs, traces and monitors in natural language and generating dashboards and notebooks, accessible from Datadog, Slack or mobile.
Datadog's Infrastructure-family product for shared GPU fleets across cloud, on-prem and neocloud providers: it links device health, cost and performance to the workloads and teams using them, alerts on unmet GPU requests, thermal throttling and ECC/XID errors, forecasts GPU demand and recommends optimisations such as reclaiming GPUs held by zombie processes. The page markets alerting, forecasting and recommendations but does not name a model or AI mechanism behind them.
Datadog's built-in AI engine: it continuously analyses metrics, traces and logs across the platform to raise anomaly alerts without configuration, detect faulty deployments by comparing code versions, run automated root-cause analysis on critical failures and surface tag-based insights and impact analysis. Available inside Infrastructure Monitoring, APM, Log Management and RUM rather than sold on its own.
Agent platform
No-code builder for custom AI agents that investigate, decide and act inside Datadog to automate incident response, observability, security and operational workflows.
