Save up to 76% on monitoring by choosing Sematext over Splunk

Splunk’s Observability Cloud starts at $15/mo per host.
Sematext is only $3.6/mo per host. Not only that but that $15/month in an annual plan. Sematext’s plan can be canceled or changed at any time, and you’re not locked into an annual commitment.

Collect log data based on GBs used, not by host

Splunk charges users based on hosts for their logs. If you only have a handful of hosts, this is great. If not, then you are potentially paying for data that you’re not even using. With Sematext, you can install our agent on as many hosts as you’d like. You’re only being charged for the data that you’re actually sending to Sematext, potentially saving you a good deal of money if you ship logs from multiple hosts.

Cut your synthetic monitoring bill exponentially

With Synthetics, Splunk charges $1 per 10,000 uptime requests. With our version of HTTP monitors, that same request volume would cost you about $0.058. This is the standard pricing for Sematext, and you won’t be trapped in an annual pricing plan required by Splunk.

Real user insight at nearly half the price

If you use Splunk as a RUM solution, then you’re paying too much. Splunk starts at $14/month for RUM, and Sematext only charges $9/month. Sematext’s RUM solution, Experience, gives you all the same insight that Splunk would, just for a much better deal.

Save time with OOTB dashboards

With out-of-the-box components, your dashboards have never been easier to set up. Integrate piecharts, donut charts, heat bars, heatmaps, and geo maps with the click of the mouse. Skip the learning curve and instantly gather insights and address critical issues.

Faster log monitoring with the quick action menu

In Sematext, Quick Actions allow you to quickly access the tools you most commonly use for logging, right from the log report. Click on the field name, and quickly create pipelines, charts, and columns to help you quickly search and filter through your log data. Click on a field value, and you have the options to include or exclude values, highlight similar values, see related metrics, toggle split screen view, and quickly copy a selected value to a clipboard for later use.

Fast and reliable searching and filtering

Blazingly fast search and filtering over massive amounts of data. Query, filter, save and analyze log data with fast and intuitive search. In fact, it's as simple as using search queries to find the exact log you're looking for.

At the end of November, we’ll be migrating the Sematext Logs backend from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch
