What I value from DataDog are the vast number of integrations available. Want to monitor and alert on prometheus endpoints? No problem, just set up a little config. Want to monitor your EC2 nodes? No problem just link up your AWS account. Want to monitor k8s, etcd, nginx? Cool, no problem, there's a thing for that too.
If Logs Insights can match the simplicity of integration that DD and the like services provide, then those services had best watch out. On the other hand, DD's dashboards are pretty slick and I can't imagine AWS's utilitarian UI/X ever competing. I wonder if that is a big enough differentiator. DD can get really expensive as well, but I'd love to see some comparisons on price.
