The UI of https://zipkin.io/ https://zipkin.io/ versus DataDog is kind of... not really in the same ballpark?
- ilyt 4y agoWish they actually sold the UI, not tried to bunch it up with data processing/storage at outrageous price even compared to usual cloud offerings
- palijer 4y agoPolished UI saves user time, and when your users are engineers it is definitely put into my calculations when we're looking at these venders versus in house.
