Best for: Datadog-native teams adding SAST to an existing observability stack
One thing to evaluate carefully is the language and framework coverage. The database entry does not specify the full language list, which is a meaningful gap compared to solutions that explicitly support 19 or 22 languages. Before committing, verify that your primary languages are supported at the depth you need. Datadog's strength is the platform integration story, not the raw analysis engine.
