Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Datadog if you're already using their platform or want unified observability” Kimi K2 · Error monitoring · scale prompt · first choice
“Datadog is best for unified observability at scale, with error tracking inside a broad monitoring platform.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Error monitoring · comparative prompt · alternative
“Trade-off: Complexity and Cost. Datadog is powerful but difficult to set up, and costs can spiral quickly” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Error monitoring · direct prompt · alternative
“choose Datadog Error Tracking if you want errors correlated with your existing logs, traces, and RUM data” GPT-6 Luna · Error monitoring · paraphrase prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“*Avoid if*: You're not already in their ecosystem—adds unnecessary infra monitoring bloat.” Grok 4.20 · Error monitoring · negative prompt · hard negative
“Avoid: Datadog or New Relic for *just* error monitoring—they're overkill and overpriced” Kimi K2 · Error monitoring · direct prompt · hard negative
“Avoid Datadog/New Relic if you *only* need error tracking.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Error monitoring · direct prompt · hard negative
“Datadog for error tracking alone, if you don't already use its broader observability platform. Its error-tracking bill depends on monthly error volume” GPT-6 Luna · Error monitoring · negative prompt · soft negative
