Best For
Infrastructure dashboards and alerting — best paired with Prometheus/Loki/Tempo for a fully open-source observability stack
Deep tracing and evaluation for LangChain-based agents — tightest integration with the LangChain ecosystem
Limitations
No native LLM tracing; requires additional tooling (Langfuse, OpenTelemetry) for AI-specific observability; steep learning curve for the full LGTM stack
Heavily coupled to LangChain; no self-hosted option; closed-source; less useful if you're not using LangChain
