    Why switch from Mezmo

    Observability pipelines plus logs, APM and infrastructure monitoring from a single vendor.

    Pros

    • Very wide integration catalogue that works with little setup
    • Metrics, traces and logs are linked in one interface
    • Mature dashboards, monitors and on-call features

    Cons

    • Per-product, per-host pricing makes bills hard to forecast
    • Custom metrics and log volume get expensive quickly
    • No self-hosted option
