In depth: SigNoz vs Dynatrace
“In order to really build trust, you have to have transparency. If you want to trust something, you want to know how it works.” - Elon Musk
SigNoz is open source
We believe the decision of choosing one product over the other ultimately comes down to trust - whether you trust the product to fulfill all your use-cases, whether you trust it to be good value for your money. Trust starts with transparency. SigNoz is open source, so you can take a look at our code, test it out, and then make an informed decision.
Check out our GitHub repoSigNoz is OpenTelemetry native
OpenTelemetry is the second most active project in the CNCF, with only Kubernetes being more active. Using an open source standard like OpenTelemetry for generating telemetry signals frees you from vendor lock-in. SigNoz is built to support OpenTelemetry from Day 1.
We provide features like application exceptions to traces from OTel data for fast debugging.
Use of columnar database for faster ingestion & aggregation
SigNoz uses ClickHouse - a fast open source column-oriented database. Ingestion and aggregation are lightning fast, while providing best-in-class compression for economical storage. Learn why is ClickHouse so fast.
Dynatrace’s host-based billing is limiting for modern apps
Dynatrace charges per hour per host which is not suitable for cloud-native environments that need on-demand scaling. SigNoz paid plans are based on the amount of data sent with rates that provides the best value for money. Sign up for a free cloud trial to get started.
Dynatrace has a complex UI, and a steep learning curve
Dynatrace is one of the top APM products. But it’s difficult to navigate its complex UI/UX. There is a steep learning curve, and if your company does not have access to its full platform plan, the usability reduces.
SigNoz is not gated by any SKU-based subscription. You can access all its features in its basic paid plan and pay based only on the amount of data you send.
Send data directly from applications without needing any host-based agents
SigNoz supports OpenTelemetry libraries for application instrumentation. You don’t need to install any host-based agents. Using OpenTelemetry libraries gives you the flexibility to send data to any backend.
If your use case requires, you can also run the OpenTelemetry collector as an agent to collect data.
