New Relic is second to none when it comes to being able to do deep dives into finding out which API call is causing slowdowns where, but Datadog aggregates data better than anything else I've ever used -- to me, the monitoring part is just a nice side-feature.

Only if you are running a supported language / server. That feature doesn't really work at all for .NET web-api apps =(
Product manager from Datadog here. Better .Net (and Windows) support is coming.
To be clear, I was talking about the automatic "deep dives into finding out which API call is causing slowdowns" part of New Relic. That is a useful feature, but it doesn't work at all on .NET web-api apps so it wasn't a reason for me to stay with New Relic.
