Cut the Datadog leash
and
reduce your total costs by 87%

If you’ve been using Datadog (or any other legacy APM) for a while and can’t seem to find a viable replacement that can keep up with your speed and 
scale - you’ve come to the right place!

Watch the recording of our webinar, where we explain how groundcover’s observability platform is redefining cloud-native application performance monitoring, from infrastructure to production, at a fraction of your current costs.

Simulate the total cost of ownership with groundcover vs. Datadog with 
our interactive calculator, including a detailed breakdown of all relevant observability cost components.

Total cost of ownership calculator

Total Cost of Ownership calculator

At groundcover, we believe your monitoring stack should work for you, not against you. We believe that cloud observability costs must be predictable and transparent.

We created this TCO calculator to assist you in adopting an observability solution that is both scalable and feasible for your growing organization.

Enter details about your environment below to see how they affect the total cost of ownership of groundcover vs. Datadog.

Step out of legacy lock-in:

Cut total costs by at least 87%

groundcover’s one-of-a-kind pricing model is completely decoupled from data volume, resulting in a sharp drop in total cost of ownership compared to Datadog and other legacy solutions.

3x less CPU & memory consumption

groundcover’s proprietary eBPF 
sensor delivers unparalleled data 
granularity with 3x less overhead than Datadog.

Data never leaves your cloud

groundcover’s unique inCloud architecture enables total data 
security, privacy, and control, 
removing the need to send your ‘
data to a third-party vendor.

Migrate from Datadog to groundcover automatically, in minutes:

Automatic ingestion using eBPF

In addition to all your logs, traces, and metrics, our proprietary eBPF sensor will also automatically collect, ingest, and display the Datadog traces generated by your services.

Redirecting the SDKs traces endpoint:

After instrumenting a service with Datadog's SDK, redirect your traces to groundcover's ingestion endpoint.
