What alternative did you find? Their product has always seemed nice in demos, but the aggressive marketing has made it hard for me to look at getting more involved.

Between the two, I prefer Dynatrace. Just a bit simpler user interface

It really depends on what you are trying to do and what you are willing to spend.

If you are looking for APM, take a look at New Relic. I've used both in production at similar (~1m requests/hour (DD) and ~10m requests/hour (NR)) scales. They are both good and expensive.

If you just want logs, metrics, dashboards, and alerts, there are tons of alternatives that are cheaper and better.

In that case, Atatus is affordable in my opinion.

If you are a windows shop avoid DD like the plague. If you don't have Pwsh devs avoid new relic for windows.
