Our organization ran comparison tests to determine whether the Datadog or Dynatrace network monitoring software was the better fit for us. We decided to go with Dynatrace. Dynatrace offers network monitoring capabilities that take into account their users’ need for the most in-depth and accurate information and solutions. It offers analysis powered by a cutting-edge and fully automated AI. This artificial intelligence is designed to spot in real time any issue that might appear in the network on both the code and the infrastructure levels. Network administrators will be offered an in-depth analysis of the issue. The report will show the nature of the problem, where in the network it can be located, and potential solutions that can be implemented. Dynatrace’s real-time reporting significantly cuts down the response time of administrators to issues.
Datadog’s network monitoring software does not offer AI reporting or analysis. While it does offer features that enable users to track issues in their networks, it does not offer anything that is as robust and in-depth as Dynatrace’s fully automated AI. Administrators have to go and constantly monitor the network for issues instead of receiving automatic notifications that can direct them to the problems at hand.
Dynatrace’s dashboards can take the data that the AI collects and lay it out for the administrative or executive teams in clear ways. It is easy to customize these dashboards according to what you need. In fact, the creation of dashboards is now automated. You tell the software what you want to see and it will build the dashboard for you.
Datadog offers dashboards that provide near real-time visibility. They track the health of the network applications and provide indicators of the network’s overall condition. These dashboards are somewhat easy to create. However, they lack the automation that Dynatrace provides.
Conclusion
While Datadog offers a solution that can provide effective network monitoring, Dynatrace’s features make it a better option. Its AI and automation make it a far more effective product.

We also selected Dynatrace but for different reasons.
We were looking for a solution that integrated user experience to backend systems. The RUM data captured by Dynatrace and integration to the transaction trace is phenomenal.
Datadog was lacking in the APM space when we evaluated and was very limited specifically in real user monitoring.
I've seen an early preview of Dyantrace's latest logging capabilities and can say I'm very excited, to say the least. The solution is automated and traced. For a comprehensive solution to improve observability and reduce outage times we are very happy with Dynatrace.
Dynatrace and Datadog are leading solutions for monitoring and performance management. Datadog seems to have the upper hand overall due to its comprehensive features.
Features: Dynatrace users highlight the platform's AI-driven analytics, automation capabilities, and proactive issue detection. Datadog is praised for its extensive integration options, real-time observability, and broader integration support.
