|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | recorder | plugins | agent | agent | agent | agent | Own or 3rd party data recorders or agents. Datadog uses StatsD. Dynatrace uses native binaries and Java Compuware agent for Linux, Windows |
| Raw data | yes | yes | yes | no | yes | no | DataDog Agent7 takes 750MB disk space, no original raw data available |
| Time-series Compatible | yes | yes | no | no | no | no | Data organised as time series |
| Data Ontology | yes | yes | no | no | no | no | Kronometrix Data Recording has groupped and classified all recorded metrics, for a very efficient data analysis process |
| Low latency | yes | yes | no | no | no | no | Datadog aggregates all collected data, using different summary statistics functions. This means no possibility to retrieve the original raw data, higher consumption of system CPU resources (it needs to calculate all sort of aggregate functions). Kronometrix data recorders will not aggregate raw datadata, to always offer access to the original raw data, being very efficient, with a low memory and CPU footprint |
