Datadog
Application
Console for monitoring the performance, reliability, adoption, errors and cost of AI coding tools and enterprise AI agents across an organisation, with early access for Claude Code, Cursor and MCP servers.
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.
Dynatrace
Application
Analyzes Dynatrace data and provides insights and recommended remediation steps.
No counterpart
Datadog sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Dynatrace yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
Single endpoint that governs an organisation's LLM use: routes agent and application traffic to OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI or Azure OpenAI, with spend budgets, team-level model access, policy enforcement and fallback when a model is over budget, rate-limited or down.
Inline security layer for agentic AI applications: evaluates prompts, model responses and tool calls in real time and blocks prompt injection, jailbreaking and sensitive-data exfiltration before they reach critical systems.
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.
Preview AI teammate for ad-hoc data questions across Datadog and warehouse data: answers natural-language questions with SQL-backed answers, charts and dashboards.
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.
Bits Release is an AI agent that validates code changes from pull request to production.
Always-on AI SOC analyst that autonomously triages and investigates security alerts and delivers written investigation results to Datadog, Slack or Jira within minutes.
Bits Testing uses AI to discover application workflows and generate synthetic tests.
Preview AI agent in Datadog Cloud SIEM that turns threat intelligence into complete investigations: it generates hypotheses, analyses activity across the environment and returns validated findings with recommended actions, including automated detection rules.
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.
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.
Dynatrace sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Datadog yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Platform
A workflow engine that combines observability, security, and business data with causal AI to automate BizDevSecOps workflows.
Monitors AI applications end to end, from the user experience through orchestration to the LLM and infrastructure, covering tokens, cost, guardrails, evaluation scoring and tracing.
Detects anomalies and identifies root causes across applications, infrastructure, logs, and traces.
