Reviewer scorecard
“Best-in-class observability. APM, logs, and metrics in one place with excellent correlation. Worth every penny for production systems.”
“4x the compute per dollar compared to AWS. European data centers for GDPR compliance. The best value in cloud computing.”
“The pricing model is designed to surprise you. Custom metrics, log ingestion, and APM spans add up to terrifying bills.”
“Unbeatable pricing if you can manage your own infrastructure. Not for teams that need managed services.”
“Datadog's land-and-expand across security, CI, and database monitoring makes them the observability platform to beat.”
“As cloud bills become a board-level concern, Hetzner's value proposition becomes more compelling every quarter.”
