AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • Users report that Datadog excels in its alerting capabilities, with a score of 9.2, making it a preferred choice for teams needing robust multi-channel alerting. In contrast, Panther's alerting functionality, while still strong at 9.1, does not quite match the breadth of Datadog's offerings.
  • Reviewers mention that Panther shines in quality of support, achieving a remarkable score of 9.8, which is significantly higher than Datadog's 8.3. This indicates that users of Panther feel more supported and valued when seeking assistance.
  • G2 users highlight that Panther's ease of setup is superior, scoring 9.0 compared to Datadog's 8.4. This suggests that new users may find Panther more intuitive and quicker to implement, reducing the time to value.
  • Users on G2 report that Datadog's multi-cloud management capabilities are lacking, with a score of 6.7, which may be a concern for organizations operating in diverse cloud environments. Panther, while not explicitly rated in this area, is generally perceived as more adaptable to multi-cloud strategies.
  • Reviewers say that Panther's product direction is rated a perfect 10.0, indicating strong confidence in its future development and feature enhancements. Datadog, while still positive at 8.9, does not inspire the same level of assurance among its users regarding future updates.
  • Users report that Datadog's data visualization features are well-received, scoring 8.9, which helps teams make sense of complex data. However, Panther's data sources and indexing capabilities are rated higher, with scores of 10.0 and 9.5 respectively, suggesting a more comprehensive approach to data management.
