OpenTelemetry-native observability
Fragmented multi-system observabilityEasy To Use
Dash0’s intuitive, minimalist UI streamlines observability with smart color cues, keyboard navigation, and effortless querying—no PromQL required.
High Complexity
Grafana Cloud offers abundant features, but is complex due to its reliance on multiple query languages and its challenging infrastructure setup.
OpenTelemetry-native
Dash0 is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform, ensuring seamless, standardized data collection, analysis, and interoperability across modern cloud, serverless, and distributed systems.
Open-Source Stack With Multiple Tools
Grafana Cloud integrates multiple open-source observability tools but requires services like Prometheus, Loki and Tempo to be configured separately.
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.
Limited Correlations
Grafana Cloud requires manual correlation across different systems. Different querying languages are required for logs, metrics and traces.
Simple Pricing
Dash0 offers transparent pricing based on data points sent, not bytes or users, ensuring cost predictability with no hidden fees.
Tiered Usage-based Pricing
Grafana Cloud pricing is tier- and usage-based and quickly becomes expensive at scale, especially for high-volume telemetry data.
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
Grafana Cloud requires users to configure recording rules, log retention policies, and sampling strategies manually.
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.
Writing Manual Regular Expressions
Grafana Cloud relies on manual queries and pattern matching instead of AI-driven enrichment.
Triage & Root Cause Analysis
Dash0’s automated telemetry comparison quickly identifies bottlenecks and anomalies, accelerating root cause analysis and reducing MTTR.
Constrained Data Exploration
Grafana Cloud requires manual data exploration in multiple tools, increasing troubleshooting complexity.
