Prometheus vs Datadog are leading monitoring and observability platforms with distinct approaches. Prometheus is an open-source solution using a pull-based model, ideal for self-hosted environments and Kubernetes monitoring. It's free but requires technical expertise and infrastructure management. Datadog is a SaaS platform with 600+ integrations, offering both push and pull-based monitoring with advanced analytics. It's user-friendly and fully managed but starts at $15 per host monthly.

Choose Prometheus for cost-effective, self-hosted monitoring with strong technical teams. Choose Datadog for comprehensive, managed observability with minimal maintenance overhead. The best choice depends on your organization's technical expertise, budget, and operational preferences.
