Both are good sci-fis featuring children solving mysteries having to do with digital creatures, programs/viruses and a virtual/digital world. They are notable for being rather serious and realistic for shows featuring child protagonists, but also have their light-hearted and humorous moments.

Both involve children being forced into adult situations by the influence of digital entities. They both explore the characters' pasts, why they act the way they do now, and what the digital world had to do with it.
Both have to do with misunderstandings between parents and children and friendships with things that may or may not be real.
Similar theme of the relation between a group of children and a world of technology, though it doesn't have fantasy monsters, the animation is much more modern and the story a bit more mature while staying light-hearted enough.
Both explore interesting themes and questions about virtual reality and consequently,reality itself.All through the eyes of well written kids.
The atmosphere and themes are very similar. In Dennou Coil augmented virtual reality is integrated into everyday life and the virtual spaces and creatures people interact with are a similar concept to Digimon's. The protagonists are Japanese schoolchildren around the same age as the Tamers main cast, who have to deal with a mystery surrounding these virtual spaces and also the question whether the cyber creatures can truly live and feel.
