Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We will buy a premium license after POC."
"Since we are a huge company, Elastic Observability is an affordable solution for us."
"We have been using the open-source version."
"Elastic Observability is cheaper than other similar solutions, such as Dynatrace. Its license calculation is based on various factors like data volume and physical infrastructure, particularly related to RAM capacity."
"There are two types: cloud and SaaS. They charge based on data ingestion, ingest rate, hard retention, and warm retention. I believe it costs around $25,000 annually to ingest 30GB of data daily. That is the SaaS version. There is also a self-managed license where the customer manages their own infrastructure on-prem. In such cases, there are three license tiers that respectively cost $5,000 annually per node, $7,000 per node, and $12,500 per node."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The product is not that cheap."
"The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."

Overview

Apache SkyWalking is a versatile open-source tool used for monitoring and analyzing the performance and behavior of applications in distributed systems. It enables tracking requests, identifying bottlenecks, and troubleshooting issues in real-time, while also monitoring microservices, logs, and server metrics. 

With its comprehensive monitoring capabilities, flexible architecture, and powerful visualization tools, Apache SkyWalking provides actionable insights and enhances overall application performance. 

Its user-friendly interface and intuitive dashboards make it easy to understand and analyze complex data sets.

To effectively monitor and gain insights across your distributed systems, you need to have all your observability data in one stack. Break down silos by bringing together application, infrastructure, and user data into a unified solution for end-to-end observability and alerting.
Rely on the most widely deployed observability platform available, built on the proven Elastic Stack (also known as the ELK Stack) to converge silos, delivering unified visibility and actionable insights.
