OpenTelemetry-native observability
Proprietary observability platformOpenTelemetry-native
Dash0 is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform, ensuring seamless, standardized data collection, analysis, and interoperability across modern cloud, serverless, and distributed systems.
Proprietary Ecosystem
Dynatrace supports OpenTelemetry but relies on proprietary instrumentation and agents, which can limit flexibility and cause vendor lock-in.
Easy To Use
Dash0’s intuitive, minimalist UI streamlines observability with smart color cues, keyboard navigation, and effortless querying—no PromQL required.
High Complexity
Dynatrace’s UI is complex, requiring significant training for effective usage.
Open Standards
Dash0 embraces open standards like OpenTelemetry, Perses, and Prometheus, ensuring flexibility, interoperability, and future-proof observability—without vendor lock-in.
Vendor Lock-In
Dynatrace’s platform depends heavily on proprietary technology, making migrations and integrations outside its ecosystem challenging.
Full Resource-based Context & Navigation
Dash0’s resource-centric approach seamlessly correlates logs, spans, and metrics using semantic conventions, enabling one-click navigation for effortless troubleshooting.
Complex Navigation
Dynatrace automates dependency mapping, but depends heavily on deep configuration to deliver meaningful insights.
Simple Pricing
Dash0 offers transparent pricing based on data points sent, not bytes or users, ensuring cost predictability with no hidden fees.
Obscure Pricing
Dynatrace’s pricing model is complex and based on host units, making cost estimation difficult.
Telemetry Spam Filter
Dash0’s Telemetry Spam Filter lets users effortlessly drop unwanted telemetry with two clicks, reducing costs while maintaining OpenTelemetry compatibility.
Manual Configuration
Dynatrace requires custom configurations and policies to control excessive data collection. All rules apply only to Dynatrace’s syntax.
AI Enhanced Telemetry & Pattern Detection
Dash0’s AI-powered observability enriches telemetry by auto-structuring logs, identifying severities, and adding semantic context—delivering instant insights without manual configuration.
Conversational Interface
Dynatrace requires you to use their proprietary query language "DQL" to hand-craft every parse to turn raw logs into useable fields and metrics.
