Grafana

Fragmented multi-system observability

OpenTelemetry-native

OpenTelemetry-native platform for seamless, standardized data collection and interoperability across cloud and distributed systems.

service.nameservice.name
service.versionservice.version
cloud.providercloud.provider
db.systemdb.system
net.peer.namenet.peer.name

Your advantage: Standard OTel names mean portable dashboards, community runbooks, and zero rewriting when switching backends.

Multiple Data Formats

Grafana's LGTM stack uses different data formats across Loki, Mimir, and Tempo, making consistent semantic conventions harder.

service.namejob
service.versionversion
cloud.providercloud
db.systemdatabase
net.peer.nameinstance

Why it matters: Every renamed attribute means rewriting dashboards, alerts, and queries if you ever switch. OTel standards keep your data portable across any backend.

All-in-One Platform

Logs, metrics, traces, and session replay in one unified platform. No multiple systems or manual data correlation.

Logs
Metrics
Traces
Replay
One platform, all signals correlated

Your advantage: No DIY assembly of Loki + Tempo + Mimir. Start observing immediately without integration work.

Assembly Required

Requires assembling Loki, Mimir, and Tempo separately. Each tool needs its own deployment, config, and maintenance.

Grafana
Grafana Dashboards
Loki Logs
Mimir Metrics
Tempo Traces
4 separate systems to deploy & maintain

Why it matters: Assembling Loki + Tempo + Mimir means separate configs, scaling, and upgrades — time spent stitching instead of shipping.

Zero Ops Burden

Get started in minutes, not months. Fully managed with no infrastructure to maintain and no scaling to worry about.

Create Account Sign up in seconds, no credit card
Add OpenTelemetry SDK One-line setup, any language
Start Observing Data flows in under 5 minutes

Your advantage: Skip the Kubernetes and YAML. Your team focuses on building, not babysitting observability infrastructure.

Infrastructure Overhead

Running the Grafana stack requires significant DevOps expertise for Kubernetes clusters, component config, and scaling.

Kubernetes Cluster Deploy & manage across nodes
Config Management Per-component YAML configs
Ongoing Maintenance Upgrades, scaling, monitoring

Why it matters: DevOps time is expensive. Grafana's stack requires dedicated staff to keep Loki, Mimir, and Tempo running.

Built-in Correlation

Click from a trace to logs, from logs to session replay. All signals are correlated via OpenTelemetry context.

Logs
Traces
Metrics
Replay
One click between any signal

Your advantage: Debug faster. Click from a trace to related logs or session replay without stitching systems together.

Manual Correlation

Correlating data across Loki, Mimir, and Tempo requires manual configuration. Context often gets lost between systems.

Loki
Tempo
Mimir
Manual config to link signals

Why it matters: Incidents take longer to resolve when you're hopping between Loki, Mimir, and Tempo instead of one unified view.

Session Replay Included

See exactly what users experienced with built-in session replay, automatically correlated with backend traces and logs.

DOM Recording Pixel-perfect session playback
Trace-Linked Jump from replay to backend trace
Error Highlighting See console errors in context

Your advantage: Understand user issues end-to-end. Replay ties frontend behavior to backend traces without a third-party add-on.

No Session Replay

Grafana doesn't offer session replay. You need a separate tool like FullStory or LogRocket, adding another system to manage.

Not Built In No native session replay feature
Extra Vendor Required FullStory, LogRocket, etc.
Additional Cost Separate billing & contract

Why it matters: FullStory or LogRocket means another vendor, another integration, and another bill to reconcile.

Open Standards

Built on OpenTelemetry and Prometheus for flexibility, interoperability, and future-proof observability -- no vendor lock-in.

OpenTelemetry
OpenTelemetry CNCF standard for telemetry collection
Prometheus
Prometheus Native PromQL metrics querying
No Vendor Lock-in Export your data anytime, any format

Your advantage: OTel and Prometheus are industry standards. No proprietary lock-in, no surprise migrations if you switch.

Fragmented Ecosystem

LGTM stack requires managing multiple projects (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir), each with its own configuration and upgrade cycle.

4 Separate Release Cycles Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir versioned independently
Breaking Changes Cross-component upgrades can conflict
Grafana Cloud Lock-in Proprietary features tied to their cloud

Why it matters: Four separate projects mean four upgrade cycles and compatibility headaches. Grafana Cloud adds its own lock-in on top.

Pay For What You Use

Only pay for the telemetry data you actually use, after filtering out noise with the built-in spam filter.

Filter Before Billing Drop noise before it counts toward usage
Transparent Pricing Simple per-GB rates, no hidden fees
Cost Controls Built In Budgets, alerts & usage dashboards

Your advantage: Drop noise before it's billed. Filter out health checks and debug logs so you only pay for data that matters.

Pay For What You Ingest

You pay for all ingested data upfront, regardless of any filtering applied within Grafana Cloud after ingestion.

Billed at Ingestion All data counted before any filtering
Surprise Overages Spikes in traffic = spikes in cost
Complex Pricing Tiers Per-component billing across LGTM stack

Why it matters: You pay for every log line ingested, including noise. Traffic spikes create billing surprises with no filter-before-bill option.
