Sentry vs Datadog in Summary

Both Sentry and DataDog are full featured error monitoring platforms. Sentry is more focused on engineering, while DataDog has better platform support and management reporting. Both tools are very expensive. For a cheaper, front-end error tracking alternative that has great reporting and noise management, consider TrackJS.
