With it, we are able to address real-world issues, including monitoring response quality to prevent negative interactions and performance degradations, while ensuring we are providing our end users with positive experiences,” said Kyle Triplett, VP of Product at AppFolio.

“There’s a rush to adopt new LLM-based technologies, but organizations of all sizes and industries are finding it difficult to do so in a way that is both cost effective and doesn’t negatively impact the end user experience,” said Yrieix Garnier, VP of Product at Datadog. “Datadog LLM Observability provides the deep visibility needed to help teams manage and understand performance, detect drifts or biases, and resolve issues before they have a significant impact on the business or end-user experience.”

LLM Observability helps organizations:

  • Evaluate Inference Quality: Visualize the quality and effectiveness of LLM applications’ conversations—such as failure to answer—to monitor any hallucinations, drifts and the overall experience of the apps’ end users.
  • Identify Root Causes: Quickly pinpoint the root cause of errors and failures in the LLM chain with full visibility into end-to-end traces for each user request.
  • Improve Costs and Performance: Efficiently monitor key operational metrics for applications across all major platforms—including OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, Vertex AI and more—in a unified dashboard to uncover opportunities for performance and cost optimization.
  • Protect Against Security Threats: Safeguard applications against prompt hacking and help prevent leaks of sensitive data, such as PII, emails and IP addresses, using built-in security and privacy scanners powered by Datadog Sensitive Data Scanner.
