Datadog is the load bearing cloud native observability and security framework, anchoring the broader cloud native observability framework against the broader observability framework. Datadog segments the broader Datadog framework across the Datadog Infrastructure Monitoring framework, the Datadog APM (Application Performance Monitoring) framework, the Datadog Log Management framework, the Datadog Real User Monitoring framework, the Datadog Synthetic Monitoring framework, the Datadog Network Monitoring framework, the Datadog Cloud SIEM framework, the Datadog Cloud Security Management framework, the Datadog Application Security Management framework, the Datadog CI Visibility framework, the Datadog Database Monitoring framework, the Datadog LLM Observability framework, and the bespoke Datadog framework at the upper customer scale. This paper sets out the buyer side framework for Datadog Enterprise negotiation, the Datadog per host framework, the Datadog log ingest framework, the Datadog APM per host framework, the Datadog commitment framework, the Splunk vs Datadog vs New Relic competitive framework, and the buyer side moves at the broader Datadog renewal cycle. Read the related Vendor Shield, the renewal program, the Splunk Cloud negotiation, and the benchmarking practice.
