I think Datadog is getting all the pieces in place to checkmate Pagerduty. They've been steadily building out their Service Catalog feature with fields for on call contact info for teams responsible for services. Once they have all that in place, they just need to wire something up to a dialer/SMS/push notifications, set up a scheduling tool, and they can start consuming Pagerduty's lunch.

- mullingitover 4y agoDatadog isn't cheap, but trying to replicate their complete functionality in house, with their uptime, would require a dedicated team and infrastructure that would be even less affordable.
- palijer 4y agoYeah, it's not cheap but there are a lot of places who don't manage their datadog bill at all because they either don't understand the pricing models like metric tag cardinality, or they use logs/APM/rum for something they should be using metrics for, or using metrics for something that should be logging etc etc.
