Looks very similar to what we're doing at https://highlight.io https://highlight.io. Would love to trade notes at some point.
One thing to consider with your messaging is that when you start speaking to large companies, they won't see you as a datadog alternative. They'll see you as a mix of sentry + fullstory + honeycomb.
Datadog originally found its success with its metrics products, and the larger the buyer of datadog gets, the more metrics-esque use case a company finds. The session replay, logging and other things are simply products that datadog tacks on.
That being said, this is clearly a large market (which is why we're working on it). I particularly like the tracing UI that y'all have and I'd love to chat with your team at some point. Good luck.
- distantsounds 3y agoYou're charging for your product, this is MIT licensed. As the meme goes, "we are not the same."
- endisneigh 3y agothey both charge money and they're both some variant of open source.
- paulgb 3y agoHighlight is Apache-2, which is for all intents and purposes equivalent to MIT if the work is not subject to patent. (this is my understanding, IANAL)
- podoman 3y agoAs other commenters mentioned, we are both comparable (pending your opinion on the MIT license). We both charge a cloud saas fee as well: https://www.hyperdx.io/pricing https://www.hyperdx.io/pricing https://www.highlight.io/pricing https://www.highlight.io/pricing

- presentation 3y agoIt seems there are a lot of Datadog competitor upstarts - also saw Axiom.co recently, though that one doesn't appear to be open source. As a developer not well-versed in observability tooling I don't really have a basis for comparing all these.
