Are you asking about other 3rd party solutions, or thinking of DIY? AFAIK, Datadog is still the best/most expensive. Any provider offering AI analysis is just going to add to your cost.

You probably need to pick a side here. Building a robust solution with even a fraction of Datadog and Sentry features isn't for the faint of heart. Unless you're into infrastructure, it might be a painful time sink.
That said, I fully promote DIY, so maybe some kind of OTel, wide log, ClickHouse, Grafana thing with a GPU for an AI sidecar VM.
