Compare a developer-first error tracking platform against a full-spectrum observability suite that spans logs, metrics, and APM.
Pick Sentry when application errors and performance regressions are the priority and you want a tool engineers actually open every day — fast setup, deep stack traces, and release-aware alerts. Pick Datadog when you need infrastructure metrics, logs, APM, and security signals correlated under one roof, and the buyer is a platform or SRE team that can absorb its breadth and cost.
