OpenTelemetry-native

OpenTelemetry-native platform for seamless, standardized data collection and interoperability.

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

Your advantage: OTel-native means your instrumentation works with any backend. No vendor lock-in, no attribute rewriting.

Proprietary Agent First

New Relic accepts OTel data but renames attributes internally. Best features require their proprietary instrumentation.

service.nameappName
service.versionversion
cloud.providercloud.platform
db.systemdatastoreType
net.peer.namepeer.hostname

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.

Predictable Costs

Simple per-GB pricing so you always know what you'll pay. One rate for logs, metrics, and traces. No surprises.

Predictable monthly costs

Your advantage: Simple per-GB pricing means you can forecast budgets. No per-user seat fees that scale with team size.

User-Based + Usage Pricing

New Relic charges per user plus data ingest. Traffic spikes can lead to unexpected overages and budget surprises.

Unpredictable bill growth

Why it matters: Per-user pricing plus usage means costs grow with both headcount and traffic. Traffic spikes can blow budgets.

OpenTelemetry Native

Built on open standards. Use any OTel-compatible instrumentation and maintain data portability.

Logs Native OTel
Metrics Native OTel
Traces Native OTel
100% open standards

Your advantage: Full OTel support across logs, metrics, and traces. Use any instrumentation—no proprietary agents required.

Mixed Instrumentation

New Relic supports OTel but pushes their own agents. Best features require their proprietary instrumentation.

Logs Proprietary
Metrics Proprietary
~ Traces Partial OTel
Proprietary agents preferred

Why it matters: New Relic pushes their own agents for best results. Mixed stacks mean inconsistent data and harder migration.

Self-Hosted Option

Run Qorrelate on your own infrastructure for data sovereignty and compliance requirements.

Docker / Kubernetes Your infra
Data sovereignty Full control
Cloud SaaS option too Flexible
Deploy anywhere

Your advantage: Deploy on-prem or in your cloud for data sovereignty. Ideal for regulated industries and air-gapped environments.

SaaS Only

New Relic is cloud-only. Your observability data must live on their servers.

No self-hosted option Cloud only
Data on their servers No control
Region restrictions Limited
No deployment flexibility

Why it matters: Cloud-only means your observability data lives on their servers. No option for compliance-sensitive or air-gapped deployments.

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 Save 30%+
Built-in spam filter Automatic
Drop noisy data at edge Zero cost
Filter first, then pay

Your advantage: Filter noise before billing. Drop spam at the edge and only pay for telemetry that adds value.

Pay For What You Ingest

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

Billed at ingest time No filter
Noise still costs money Waste
Post-ingest drops still charged $$$ lost
Pay for everything upfront

Why it matters: You're charged for everything that hits their ingest pipeline. Debug logs and health checks you'll never query still cost money.
