How is Palpabl different from Auvik or Datadog

Auvik and Datadog are monitoring/observability platforms — they watch live performance and alert on it. Palpabl is a source-of-truth and documentation layer built on the NetBox data model. Different job: those tools tell you how the network is behaving right now; Palpabl is the authoritative record of what the network is. They’re complementary, not substitutes — plenty of teams run a monitoring tool alongside Palpabl.
