Datadog is the best for looking out the root cause of incidents ,early last month we encountered an issue with one of our main microservices kept failing with many errors we used Datadog's traces ,logs and Kubernetes Explorer to identify the root cause .This helped us to deploy a quick fix which restored the application back to service ,till today we have experienced any failure.
Has a wide integration with cloud services which makes it very flexible for monitoring.
