I'm sure it is too.

My colleagues are investigating Datadog as a vendor and I think they're off their heads. We're meant to be tightening our belts and I think we'll waste a metric fuck ton of money on Datadog for a gram of value. Hopefully we don't go with them.

In my experience, Datadog requires non-trivial active account management internally to ensure a cost effective usage, rather like a cloud infrastructure provider.

If you've got 20+ people, it's a no-brainer, the value is immense. Fewer than that and it's a tricky call.

It's a great product though, and it's in my list of "things I'd sign up for immediately" if starting a new company.
