Cisco Is Said to Have Offered $7B-Plus for DataDog

People seem to generally have very positive comments on DataDog - maybe it's me but I've generally found it frustrating. The sampling and retention rates for tracing mean I rarely see the errors that actually matter. I dislike not having an actual date/time picker in the APM section too.

Either way, I've had a worse experience with Cisco products so good for them saying no.

We hadn't used DataDog, but after our whole team kept getting endless semi personalised buddy buddy like spam from their sales people, we all swore off ever even contemplating using them.

I'd forgotten about that! They sent me pictues of sad dogs to try and convince me to use them. It was a bit strange, and at times passive aggressive.
