Omni Agent War: Datadog

Bits sells. Then AWS gives its agent away.

You folded the agent into Bits and made it check Datadog's data first. Teams trusted it because it had no favorite.

The CFO: Bits attach is 31%! Credits beat plan two quarters running! I built a dashboard of our dashboards!

On the wall screen, AWS's DevOps Agent wakes on an alarm, finds the bad deploy and rolls it back. Support customers get credits to cover it.

The CFO: But that's an AWS toy. Nobody runs on one cloud anymore. Do they?

OMNI: HOLD IT! It reads Azure too. Yours bills $1.30 a credit. Theirs comes with the Support plan.

Head of Reliability: Worse. Their agent sees the deploy, the network and the bill. We only see what customers send us.

  1. A. Bundle Bits into every host. Outbuild Amazon. Fight free with included.
  2. B. Stop fighting AWS. Make agent telemetry free. A year late. Ingest dips.
  3. C. Kill the host meter. Bill per incident fixed. AWS has a year's head start.
