## Choose when

### Choose dunetrace if…

- License: dunetrace is Other, agent-learning-kit is Apache-2.0.
- Pricing: The repository does not specify any pricing information; it only mentions a license which is categorized as 'other'..
- Requirements: Requires Docker.
- Tags unique to dunetrace: agent-monitoring, agent-observability, real-time-monitoring.
- dunetrace ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need to monitor the performance of AI agents in real-time, as dunetrace offers insights specific to observability and reliability.

### Choose agent-learning-kit if…

- License: agent-learning-kit is Apache-2.0, dunetrace is Other.
- Tags unique to agent-learning-kit: ci-cd, evaluation, ml.
- When you need comprehensive evaluation of your AI models including faithfulness checks using DeBERTa NLI model installed.

## When NOT to use dunetrace

- When focusing solely on non-code aspects like UI/UX without any need for backend AI agent observation.
- If you are looking for a platform that supports extensive integrations beyond Python and Node.js, as dunetrace's focus is limited to these environments.
- For organizations that prefer proprietary solutions over tools under other licenses.

## When NOT to use agent-learning-kit

- If your workflow does not align with the specific evaluation criteria and methods supported by agent-learning-kit.
- When you seek a framework that integrates with backend systems other than those provided as optional extras, such as MongoDB or DynamoDB instead of ChromaDB.
