Sure, we will include dynatrace and elastic in our next update. The line items are mostly based on how the product does the billing u/RabidWolfAlpha. Datadog has an SKU-based billing structure. If you visit their pricing page, they list down a lot of products, and they bill each of them separately. For example, APM and infrastructure monitoring are two separate paid products. SigNoz is based on usage-based pricing; only pay for how much data you ingest. Billing is based on how much logs, metrics and traces you ingest. There is no separate billing for APM and infrastructure monitoring. SigNoz has most features that Datadog provides, except things like network monitoring, Cloud SIEM, etc. Are you looking for any specific feature? p.s SigNoz is also open source: our github repo.

We are building OpenSource Observability at SigNoz. Have a look at https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz

Folks on this thread might want to check out SigNoz (https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz). It's an open source alternative to Datadog.

I am one of the maintainers at SigNoz. We have come across many more horror stories around Datadog billing while interacting with our users.

We recently did a deep dive on pricing, and found some interesting insights on how it is priced compared to other products.

Datadog's billing has two key issues:

I am not sure when you tried OpenTelemetry, but it is decently mature now, esp. for tracing. I am a maintainer at SigNoz (https://github.com/signoz/signoz) and we have good support for tracing using Otel for most of the common frameworks.

I agree it was a bit rapidly evolving in early days, but now its much more mature.

You can check out our docs for distributed tracing here - https://signoz.io/docs/instrumentation/

We are building SigNoz (https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz) - an open source alternative to DataDog. We are natively based on opentelemetry and see lots of our users very interested in that.

As mentioned in some other places in the thread, DataDog pricing is very unpredictable and high - and I think more open standards based solutions are the way forward which provides users more predictability and flexibility

You should check out SigNoz (https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz) - It's an open source alternative to DataDog with metrics, traces and logs in a single application. You can just self host it yourself or try the hosted version.

PS: I am one of the maintainers at SigNoz

There's also Signoz (https://signoz.io) a YC-backed company but open source with (recently) paid hosted.
