From my work in different companies / personal project. Datadog is always the same. The tool is very good. It has many strong features and nice dashboards. But it is also very expensive.
Because of the high price, teams start to reduce how much they use it. (logs and metrics)
So I ask myself: if we keep reducing everything because of the cost, why do we even have Datadog? It is a great tool, but the price makes it harder to get real value.
