✓ Use when
Enterprises that want a single pane of glass across infra, apps, and security and can budget for the bill.
✗ Avoid when
Cost-sensitive startups — observability bills balloon quickly; Grafana Cloud or self-hosted Prometheus + Loki often fit better.
What is Datadog?
Datadog is the dominant enterprise observability platform. What began as infrastructure monitoring now spans 20+ products: APM, logs, RUM, synthetics, network performance, Cloud SIEM, ASM, CSPM, and LLM Observability. Its biggest pain point is cost — most customers eventually hit per-host, per-GB log, or custom-metric bills that force careful tuning.
