Products, side by side

Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

Datadog

Application

AI ImpactApplication

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.

Bits ChatApplication

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.

GPU MonitoringApplication

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.

WatchdogApplication

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

Bits Agent BuilderAgent platform

No-code builder for custom AI agents that investigate, decide and act inside Datadog to automate incident response, observability, security and operational workflows.

Upstage

Application

Solar ChatApplication

Research-the-web chat assistant built on Upstage's Solar LLM family, answering questions with sources.

Upstage AI SpaceApplication

Document intelligence tool that extracts, drafts and reviews document-based work; referenced in a customer testimonial as helping brokers find answers across long documents.

Agent platform

Upstage StudioAgent platform

Workspace for building and running document-processing agents from Upstage's parsing and extraction steps.

No counterpart

Datadog sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Upstage yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

AI agent

Bits CodeAI 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.

Bits InvestigationAI agent

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 Security AnalystAI agent

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

Agent ObservabilityDeveloper tool

Traces, evaluates and monitors LLM and AI-agent applications in production, with offline experimentation on datasets built from real traces.

Datadog MCP ServerDeveloper tool

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.

Upstage sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Datadog yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

API service

Document ParseAPI service
