What are your top observability tools for 2023?

[Sean Dahlberg]

Hard to believe we're already in May. Now that we have a few months under our belts, what are you finding to be your top products this year when it comes to observability? I was just reading "Top observability tools for 2023" on TechTarget, and this is their current list.  

1. AppDynamics  

1. Datadog  

1. Dynatrace  

1. Grafana  

1. Lightstep  

1. New Relic  

1. Splunk  

We're excited that AppD made the list! Speaking of which, if you're interested, check out @prathjan's latest blog, "Automating Observability with AppDynamics Cloud APIs." Also, if you're headed to Cisco Live (less than a month away!!!), the team recently put up a blog about "What's going on at Cisco Live 2023 for AppDynamics."   

Back to the topic at hand, how does the above list of observability tools match up to yours? Is there something missing you would add or something you'd remove from this list?
