Across Datadog materials, the core reasons cited are:
Datadog’s ServiceNow-related materials emphasize working in Datadog while updating ServiceNow as system-of-record.

You require a primary enterprise ticketing/ITSM system
The primary challenge is incident response (on-call, escalations) rather than investigations
The organization is highly cost-sensitive or early-stage
Deep, independently validated ROI for workflow outcomes is required
Packaging/pricing clarity: Case Management pricing is not clearly isolated publicly; it may require sales engagement or bundling.
Integration constraints: ServiceNow bidirectional behavior differs between ITSM and ITOM setups; documentation indicates expected behavior limitations.
API rate limits: automation at scale must respect Datadog API limits and may require approved increases.
Because most review platforms focus on Datadog as an observability suite, Case Management feedback is usually embedded indirectly (e.g., users discussing incident follow-ups, workflows, integrations, and ticketing/ServiceNow handoff).

Below are representative community quotes; they are anecdotal but valuable for understanding common friction points.
Pricing / predictability (negative):
Reddit (r/sre): “our observability costs are now higher than our AWS bill” (discussion about autoscaling + per-host, plus reductions by trimming logs/metrics).
Reddit (r/devops): “I used to work for datadog and even the salesreps don’t understand their price model.” (thread about estimating bills; also includes comments that synthetics can be expensive for some use cases).
Sales experience (negative):
Value when already standardized (more positive/neutral):
Security suite viability concerns (mixed):
Datadog’s public case studies typically focus on observability outcomes, cost management, or incident management rather than Case Management specifically. Examples:
Critical evaluation:
Datadog Case Management is a workflow layer inside the Datadog platform intended to help teams triage, assign, track, and resolve operational work (e.g., investigation follow-ups from monitors, security signals, error tracking, and other integrated sources) with tighter linkage to observability context than a standalone ticketing tool. It is presented as a way to reduce context switching by keeping investigation artifacts (signals, dashboards, traces/logs, related events) close to the ticket.
