Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think they have the least expensive logging product available. But you have to 1) Not run the DataDog agent (you can use fluent-bit) 2) Filter logs so they are not indexed (and in some cases not ingested)
Disagree, DataDog charges at least $0.10 / GB to forward your logs to your S3. For same price, Sumo Logic allows you to have data search on-demand with no rehydrate. Rehydrate will charge you a lot and take time, at Sumo you can query immediate right away. I would argue Sumo on-demand search is the least expensive logging product on market, yet very feature rich. Disclaimer: I work at Sumo. All opinions are mine.
I’m about to launch a new project and am currently planning to use Datadog (for both metrics and logs, possibly more in time), but would happily consider alternatives, especially if cheaper or with more straightforward pricing, but so far Sumo’s pricing doesn’t look any more straightforward and I’m not able to commit to anything beyond month to month and by my reading of the pricing page, Sumo doesn’t offer that.
