OpenTelemetry-native Observability

Modular Enterprise IT Platform

Easy To Use

Dash0’s intuitive, minimalist UI streamlines observability with smart color cues, keyboard navigation, and effortless querying - no PromQL required.

Fragmented & Complex UI

Splunk dashboards require significant training in custom functions, settings, and naming conventions. Users must navigate multiple interfaces to access different features, increasing complexity and friction.

Simple Pricing

Dash0 offers transparent pricing based on data points sent, not bytes or users, ensuring cost predictability with no hidden fees.

Complex & Expensive Pricing

Splunk’s observability offering spans multiple product lines, each with separate billing models. Ingestion drives core costs, while features like APM and synthetics require additional licenses - adding complexity and costs.

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

While supporting open-standards for ingestion, Splunk’s storage, queries, and pre-built dashboards are part of a proprietary ecosystem - limiting flexibility and portability.

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

Splunk 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 Splunk Observability you have to pay for all ingested data, regardless of applied filtering mechanisms within Splunk's UI.
