Datadog offers a comprehensive suite of monitoring tools, including strong APM and log management features, but comes at a higher cost. In contrast, NetCrunch is a more cost-effective solution focused on network monitoring, making it ideal for small to medium-sized businesses, though it lacks some of the advanced capabilities found in Datadog.
