You just described that someone/some team sold something that doesn't meet the customer's need. If you can't see what happened, I can try to explain it for you:
Someone from Datadog sales team talks to someone from marketing at Corporation X. Corp. X Marketing loves what Datadog salespeople sell and what amazing things they can get from it and, guess what? pay the first bill. Great job, team!
Now is when engagement with the technical team of corp X starts but the technical team that wasn't the one that agreed with the bill. Tech-savvy people knows that Datadog isn't worth it (that's why they aren't the ones that salespeople reach to). Now they have to justify a $83.000/year kinda bill they didn't sign up for.
Great salespeople, great sales team. Scammers, if you ask me.
As someone from marketing, you've just signed the bill and are essentially the one who "colluded" with Datadog to take money out of Corp X's deep pockets, without fully understanding the technical implications or value of the product.
