- Grafana — Grafana can replace Datadog's dashboards and alerting when you run your own metrics and log stores, though you must set up the data collection yourself.
- Prometheus — Prometheus can replace Datadog's metrics collection, querying and alerting when you run it yourself, but it does not cover logs, traces or a hosted UI.
- Sentry — Sentry tracks errors and performance in applications, which overlaps with parts of Datadog.
- SigNoz — SigNoz's own README calls it an open-source alternative to Datadog; it covers APM, logs and metrics.
