"You can use observability pipelines to limit tag cardinality before metrics are ingested. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"Utilizing Datadog's built-in metrics like "datadog.estimated_usage." allows you to set anomaly alarms on usage, preventing unexpected budget overruns"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"You can create automation to limit the tags on custom metrics to decrease costs. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"Filtering out health checks and repetitive logs can decrease excessive logging costs. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"Some users have implemented real-time log level tuning to maintain lower verbosity levels by default, switching to more detailed logging only when necessary"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"Strategically managing where applications run can also impact costs. For example, using pod-affinity in Kubernetes to ensure that the same application instances prefer the same hosts can reduce the number of APM hosts Datadog charges for. It's also crucial to have early alerts about high log volumes and spending, particularly in testing and development environments "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"By limiting the number of tags indexed for each custom metric, you can save considerably as datadog charged due to each unique tag combination per metric. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month

This equated to significant savings."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month

"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter

"It is important to clarify what items are discounted on Datadog's draw down plans. On some plans they will on discount on-demand rates for the "flex spend bucket" and they can't draw down on demand and committed spend from the same bucket."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Datadog tried to increase our per sku costs by 5% despite growth on our contract. After conversations with Datadog we moved to a drawdown plan which includes a discount on on-demand rates for the "flex spend bucket.""Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year

"We used Observability Pipelines to limit tag cardinality before metrics are ingested which saved us a ton on our bill"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Implementing cost monitoring and anomaly detection can help you catch unexpected spikes in usage before they result in large bills.

"While the MSA itself might be rigid, Datadog allows for some customization through the Order Form. This can include specific terms or conditions related to the deal.
"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"If you are on Enterprise Hosts and not using a lot of containers and custom metrics, you should move to Pro Plus hosts which has the same features with a smaller commitment and is $18 vs $23"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We were able to save a significant amount by moving from Pro Plus Hosts to Enterprise Hosts because we had a very high volume of containers and custom metrics. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Pro Hosts - $15, included 5 containers, 100 custom metrics
Pro Plus Host - $18, includes 10 containers, 100 custom metrics + anomaly monitoring, forecasts monitoring, live processes, watchdog monitoring
Enterprise Hosts - $23, includes 20 containers, 200 custom metrics + anomaly monitoring, forecasts monitoring, live processes, watchdog monitoring

"We moved from month to month to a 2 year contract and were able to lock in a one time promotional discount along with some added sku discounts. Our team went back and forth with Datadog on budget restrictions and upfront payment. We ended up getting a 12% discount. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Our DataDog rep indicated to us that they no longer offer their Drawdown plan with discounted overages for users who wish to pay monthly. You will need to both have over $300K in annual contract value and be on annual billing to qualify for this plan. They were willing to offer us a drawdown with a flex commitment bucket, but this plan did not make sense for our organization. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Datadog has notified us that they have increased their premium for non-annual payment terms. Previously it was Monthly - 10%, Quarterly - 5%, Semi-Annual - 2.5%. Now it is Monthly - 10%, Quarterly - 7.5%, Semi-Annual - 5%."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year

"After reviewing our usage we were able to save by reducing scope and paying for exactly what we needed, we also received a small discount for our renewal on a 12 month term."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We have a $1M+ contract with Datadog. They offered 4% for a 2 year and 7% for a 3 year in the form of a one time promotional discount"Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Datadog indicated that we should keep at least 1 custom metric in our Order Form to lock in legacy pricing, indicating there may be an increase coming soon"Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"If using enterprise hosts, typically this is if there are a lot of custom metrics or containers. If AI alerts are not needed, switch to pro plus hosts to right-size the contract and get additional savings"Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Datadog told us we could not decrease our log retention if we bought through AWS Marketplace. We are on 30 day."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Datadog had an error that they just patched in how they count session for RUM Mobile. The issue is tracking react native where it's counting multiple sessions when someone uses an app in the background and splitting up longer sessions. We should have had around 5000 and they had us at 150,000. We are working on getting refunded but this was a huge error that led to giant bills and should affect all Datadog users. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Datadog charges a 1.5% uplift for going through AWS Marketplace. They have told us that there were some technical limitations to where they cannot charge for on-demand for a number of different products (RUM, Sensitive Data Scanner, Database Monitoring and more). So it sounds like we have avoiding any on-demand bills for those products. They have told us that starting June 1st, this will be resolved and have asked us to accept a new private offer link. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Important to get the following language included on the Order Form for multi-year Drawdown deals to protect from under-commitment:
"Should Customer’s use of the Services not exceed the Yearly Spend Allowance prior to the end of Year 1, Datadog will credit the remaining amount to the following year’s Yearly Spend Allowance. For clarity, Customer will not be entitled to a refund or credit of any uncharged portion of the Year 2 Yearly Spend Allowance remaining at the End Date of this Order Term.""Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"In the past, Datadog will rarely include any language guaranteeing rollover of unused funds, however, we saw this on a multi-year, $1M+ ARR deal:
"At the end of this Order Term, provided that the Customer enters a renewal Order with a minimum term of 12 months, and that Customer's annualized committed spend does not decrease, Datadog shall credit any prepaid but unused amounts of up to $90,000.00 applicable to the Base Fee under this Order (the "Credit of Unused Funds"). Such Credit of Unused Funds may only be used against Datadog Services on the renewal Order, and for the avoidance of doubt, would not be redeemable for cash.""Company with 1-200 employeesA while ago

"We managed to get them to backdate our agreement to avoid overages, but we had to push back multiple times."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago

"We were able to negotiate different payment terms for the period while we were doing our proof of concept. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
