Datadog Inc

Datadog Inc

Datadog Inc (DDOG) is a software-as-a-service company offering a cloud-scale monitoring and analytics platform for infrastructure, applications, logs and security telemetry. Its unified observability suite helps engineering and operations teams monitor performance, troubleshoot incidents and optimise cloud costs across multiโ€‘cloud and hybrid environments. Revenue is primarily subscription-based and recurring, with customers ranging from startups to large enterprises; the company has a market capitalisation of about $54.49 billion. Growth has been driven by product expansion (APM, logging, security, analytics), strong net retention and cross-sell opportunities. Investors should balance the appeal of predictable ARR and platform stickiness against heavy ongoing investment in R&D and sales, competition (for example, New Relic and Splunk), and exposure to enterprise IT spending cycles. Key metrics to watch include ARR growth, net retention rate, operating margin and customer concentration. This is general educational information, not personalised advice โ€” values can rise and fall and past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
