Deciding factorAn exception needs a cause — read the trace, the release, the affected users.versus: Something is slow or flapping and you need the series, not the stack.
Bottom line
Sentry answers 'why did this break'; Datadog answers 'what is happening right now'.
The short answer
Sentry is about the individual error: stack trace, breadcrumbs, which release introduced it. Datadog is about the system: metrics, monitors, and the shape of an incident. Teams often run both, and the agent should be pointed at whichever question it is actually asking.
