SIEM pricing models: Splunk vs Microsoft Sentinel vs ElasticSplunk sells ingest, workload, or activity-based pricing with no public list prices, Microsoft Sentinel bills per GB into the workspace with commitment tiers, and Elastic prices on resources rather than ingest.APM pricing models: Datadog vs Dynatrace vs New RelicDatadog prices per host with separate meters for logs, custom metrics, and products, Dynatrace prices on consumption units across capabilities, and New Relic prices on data ingested plus seats.Infrastructure monitoring: SolarWinds vs SigNoz vs AMP with Grafana vs Datadog InfrastructurePer-node monitors charge on the count of hosts whether or not anyone reads them, while an open fleet on OpenTelemetry with an open source time series database you own removes the per-node licence from the ordinary tier entirely.Collection agents: vendor agents vs the OpenTelemetry CollectorA vendor agent collects for one destination and is licensed by that vendor's model, while the OpenTelemetry Collector reads the same host signals with no per-agent licence and sends them anywhere.Telemetry pipelines: Cribl Stream vs vendor-native routing vs raw OTel pipelinesA dedicated control layer routes any source to any destination on its own terms, vendor-native routing governs flow into that vendor alone, and raw OTel pipelines shape data at the collector without a central control point.Fleet management: an OpAMP open fleet vs Grafana Fleet Management vs Bindplane vs vendor consolesOpAMP is the OpenTelemetry standard for managing collector fleets, and the choice is whether the control plane speaking it runs in your account under your repository or inside a vendor's cloud.Observability data ownership: vendor-hosted vs a lake on IcebergVendor-hosted telemetry is retained on the vendor's terms and read through the vendor's interfaces, while a lake on open table formats holds full-fidelity history that every engine and every model you ever run can read.
