I think the Veserv was too nice in their comments - the CTO is not "simply confused", she is specifically trying to introduce confusion to separate Honeycomb from competitors.
See, under common definition of observability, Honeycomb is just another platform with upsides and downsides. But if you believe the original post, Honeycomb is "2.0" while everything else is "1.0". So why are you even bothering with feature comparison for with other platforms? Are you _really_ going to go with observability 1.0 (a.k.a. most of Honeycomb's competitors) when 2.0 is out? Just sign up already, preferably for most expensive plan so you can record all those events you'll be generating.
