Full Log Management

Full-featured log management with search, filtering, and correlation. Logs are first-class citizens, not an afterthought.

Logs + Traces + Metrics

Trace-Centric Only

Honeycomb focuses primarily on traces and events. Log support is limited, requiring separate tooling for full log management.

Limited log support

Infrastructure Metrics

Monitor your infrastructure with Prometheus-compatible metrics. CPU, memory, disk, network – all in one place.

Full metrics support

No Infrastructure Metrics

Honeycomb doesn't handle infrastructure metrics. You need Prometheus, Datadog, or another tool for system monitoring.

Not available

Session Replay

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

Visual debugging

No Session Replay

Honeycomb doesn't offer session replay. Need a separate tool to understand frontend user experience.

Not available

Pay For What You Use

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

Filter first, then pay

Pay For What You Ingest

With Honeycomb you have to pay for all ingested data, regardless of applied filtering mechanisms.

$$$
Pay for everything upfront
