Hi everyone,
I’ve been diving deep into our observability tools lately, and I’ve noticed something interesting when using Splunk and Datadog side by side. On one hand, Splunk is great for log management and analysis, providing a flexible platform for querying and visualizing logs. On the other hand, Datadog shines with its real-time infrastructure monitoring and APM, giving us incredible insights into application performance and health.
This got me thinking: if you could only choose one tool for your observability needs, which would it be and why?
Would you lean towards Splunk’s unparalleled logging and search capabilities, or would Datadog’s integrated infrastructure and application monitoring win you over? Or perhaps you think there’s a perfect use case for combining both in a strategic way?
Let’s get a discussion going! Share your experiences, pros and cons, and any unique use cases you’ve come across. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
