What is the difference between Grafana and DataDog?
The question is about Grafana
The difference between Grafana and Datadog lies in their focus and deployment model. Grafana is an open-source data visualization tool and dashboarding platform. Support is available for a wide variety of data sources, but additional integrations are needed for collecting data and alerting. Datadog is an all-in-one cloud platform for monitoring infrastructure up to application performance and logs. Grafana offers more flexibility with the ability to customize and tweak to the smallest details for self-hosted setups, whereas Datadog is easier to deploy, though it comes at a subscription cost. Grafana would be perfect for custom visualizations, while Datadog is good for out-of-the-box, end-to-end monitoring solutions.
