Honeycomb vs Server Density: What are the differences?

Developers describe Honeycomb as "Observability for a distributed world--designed for high cardinality data and collaborative problem solving 🐝💖". We built Honeycomb to answer the hard questions that come up when you're trying to operate your software–to debug microservices, serverless, distributed systems, polyglot persistence, containers, and a world of fast, parallel deploys. On the other hand, Server Density is detailed as "Trusted monitoring built by experts". SaaS-based scalable infrastructure monitoring to help businesses save time and money. With advanced server and website monitoring alerts, graphing tools and integrations with all major cloud service providers.
