Why not self host grafana and Loki? It’s not hard and the cost for redundancy and backups running on tons of nodes with fast internet isn’t anything new. Much cheaper

My experience is with Kibana and Honeycomb; but in my experience, Grafana, even with Tempo, pales in comparison to the power that the ELK stack or a robust, clean UI’d data aggregator, like Honeycomb is capable of.

I guess it’s a cost benefit analysis. If the UI of X is worth $50k, that’s something some companies can say ok to.

Moreso speaking for the companies that feel hopeless when the UIs of these open source tools might probably be ok
