Datadog named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms

Announcement Details

We are thrilled to announce that Datadog has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms, for the sixth consecutive year. We believe this recognition reflects our continued focus on helping customers observe, secure, and act on everything that matters across their technology stack.

Datadog was positioned highest in Ability to Execute in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms.

As our customers build and run AI-native applications, their systems are becoming more dynamic, more autonomous, and harder to reason about. Datadog’s approach, spanning Bits Investigation, our expanding family of autonomous agents, Agent Observability, and purpose-built visibility for AI-native workloads, helps teams investigate faster, automate confidently, and stay ahead of issues before they reach customers.

Datadog’s unified observability and security platform breaks down organizational silos and enables IT operations, development, security, and business teams to collaborate more effectively and take action based on a single source of truth. With more than 30 integrated products, customers can replace multiple point solutions with a single platform, and increasingly let intelligent agents do the investigative work for them.

• Bits Investigation autonomously investigates alerts, surfaces root cause, and recommends and takes action across systems, accelerating incident response and reducing outages.

• Agent Observability provides visibility into the performance, quality, security, and cost of AI agents and LLM apps, enabling safe and scalable adoption of AI-native workloads.

• Observability Pipelines gives teams granular control over how telemetry is collected, routed, and retained, with native OpenTelemetry support for open, vendor-neutral collection, helping them manage data volumes and keep observability spend predictable as they scale.

• End-to-end APM reduces mean time to resolution by connecting mobile and browser apps with backend services, providing deep visibility into every user action, line of code, and database query.

• Digital Experience Monitoring gives organizations complete visibility into how customers experience their mobile and web digital products and uniquely ties those experiences to backend systems and business outcomes.

Customer feedback is a core aspect of analyst evaluations. We believe our recognition in this category reflects the ways Datadog helps customers observe, secure, and act across their environments, whether they’re building modern applications, adopting AI, or managing complex systems at scale. We’re grateful to the users who continue to share their feedback and experiences, which help us improve our platform and stay focused on what matters most to them.
