Sasquatch vs Dynatrace

Reading your own logs
shouldn't cost extra.

Cut compute and storage by more than 80% — losslessly, in the cloud you already own.

Dynatrace meters every log to ingest, to retain, and again per GB scanned just to query it — on top of a per-host charge. You pay to store your data, then again to read it. With Sasquatch, querying is included, lossless, in the cloud you already own.

10 TB / mo logs + 50 hosts full-stack · annual list · every figure traces to a published rate.

01Where the bill goes

One line item, not a meter stack.

The Dynatrace bill splits across a stack of separately metered line items. Sasquatch is one rate on the compressed bytes you keep — the same workload, a fraction of the footprint. Each block is a real line item; the length is its share.

02The meter stack

One meter. Five on every log.

The same workload, two monthly statements. One is a single line you can forecast to the byte; the other is a stack of meters, each on its own unit, re-negotiated at every renewal.

03The compression

10 TB in. 100 GB out.

The full bar is the raw workload. The fill is what actually survives to disk after each product compresses it — shorter is cheaper to store, forever.
