For organization that want an all-in-one, "batteries-included" observability platform and have the budget, Datadog's comprehensive feature set is a major draw. for example a large e-commerce company needs to monitor its entire microservices architecture, cloud in frastructure, and user experience. on the other hand for cost-sensitive teams, Datadog's pricing model can become a significant and unpredictable burden. for example a small team with a limited budget needs basic infrastructure monitoring for a handful of hosts.
