OpenTelemetry-native Observability
Modular Enterprise IT PlatformEasy To Use
Dash0’s intuitive, minimalist UI streamlines observability with smart color cues, keyboard navigation, and effortless querying - no PromQL required.
Fragmented & Complex UI
Solarwinds’ UI is powerful but complex. Analysis is split across tools without a unified query experience and limited out of the box correlation. Navigating dashboards, entities, and settings requires extensive training.
Simple Pricing
Dash0 offers transparent pricing based on data points sent, not bytes or users, ensuring cost predictability with no hidden fees.
Obscure & Expensive Pricing
Solarwinds Observability combines feature-based subscriptions with usage- and retention-based charges. Unique unit definitions and bundled pricing for synthetics and RUM make costs hard to predict and control.
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
Solarwinds partly adopts open standards but isn’t open end-to-end. Core features rely on proprietary agents, a closed entity model and proprietary dashboards (no external import, no dashboards-as-code).
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.
Manual Signal Correlation
Solarwinds does not offer automatic signal correlation by default. Log-trace correlation must be configured per library and depends on manual trace-context injection, entity creation, and preconfiguration.
Telemetry Spam Filter
Dash0’s telemetry spam filter lets users effortlessly drop unwanted telemetry with two clicks, reducing costs while maintaining OpenTelemetry compatibility.
Manual Filtering Rules
Solarwinds allows telemetry filtering, but requires configuring custom pipeline rules in the SDK as well as redeploying agents to control excessive data collection.
Pay For What You Use
In Dash0 you only pay for the telemetry data you actually use, after filtering with spam filter.
Pay For What You Ingest
With Solarwinds Observability you have to pay for all ingested data, regardless of applied filtering mechanisms within Solarwind's UI.
Full Infrastructure Control
Create, manage and update your dashboards, rules, and configurations in any editor. Integrate them with your IAC setup, and use your existing release pipeline for deployment – no manual changes needed.
Limited Portability & Automation
Solarwinds offers limited IaC support through Terraform for select resources like alerts and tokens, but dashboards and configurations must be managed manually in the UI, limiting full pipeline automation.
