Datadog vs BugSnag in Summary

Datadog is incumbent Enterprise Observability tool with broad capabilities and a high price tag, while BugSnag is an upstart in that space with less capability and a lower price. Datadog will be more useful for DevOps teams at large companies, while BugSnag will be useful for organizations with limited infrastructure scope and budget. For a lower-cost alternative focused on small teams for frontend error tracking, consider TrackJS.
