Pros

The original value proposition still applies, for IT monitoring that is more granular and real-time that what the cloud providers offer.

Cons

Company organization is a disaster. The CRO brought in his former team and decimated the upper and middle Sales management. His previous company purged under-performers in preparation for their IPO; Datadog inherited their low-performers, who were all out of a job. Datadog products and acquired companies' software are connected by spaghetti code -- it's not sustainable. Perhaps great for a short term play (under 6 months), a disaster for 6+ monthos.
