Better Cloud AI Stock: Oracle vs. Datadog

Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) and (NASDAQ: DDOG) represent two ways to invest in the secular growth of the cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) markets. Oracle provides cloud-based database services, enterprise software, and generative AI services across its own cloud infrastructure platform. Datadog's platform collects diagnostic data from a company's servers, databases, and software in real time, and it aggregates all of that information onto unified dashboards for IT professionals. Bits AI, its new generative AI-powered chatbot, can also be used to diagnose potential problems.
