Learn how to use OpenObserve Insights for interactive log and trace analysis. Identify root causes in 60 seconds with dimension analysis. Real examples, step-by-step guides, and troubleshooting tips.
A comprehensive comparison of the top 10 observability platforms in 2026 highlighting their strengths, trade-offs, and use-cases.
Does cheaper observability mean worse capabilities? We tested this assumption by sending identical telemetry from a 16-service OpenTelemetry demo to both DataDog and OpenObserve simultaneously. The results: DataDog costs $174/day vs OpenObserve's $3/day—98% cost savings without sacrificing visibility. Evereve achieved similar results: 90% cost reduction, platform consolidation, and unlimited instrumentation after migrating from DataDog.

Hands-on comparison of DataDog and OpenObserve for alerting and monitoring. DataDog's proprietary monitor syntax and per-custom-metric charges vs OpenObserve's SQL-based unified alerts, composite conditions with joins, and Jinja2-templated notifications. Real test data shows custom metric pricing impact on alert coverage versus flat-rate pricing with comprehensive alerting capabilities.
Hands-on comparison of DataDog and OpenObserve for dashboard visualizations. DataDog's proprietary query syntax and premium tiers vs OpenObserve's SQL/PromQL queries, ECharts custom charts, and community dashboard library. Real test data shows 98% cost savings ($174/day vs $3/day) with identical dashboard capabilities and OpenTelemetry-native architecture.
