Summary

Coralogix and Splunk are both prominent players in the observability industry, offering tools for ingesting logs, metrics, and traces, but differ significantly in features, cost, and customer support. Coralogix employs a unique Streama data streaming analytics pipeline, enabling real-time analysis and long-term trend evaluation without indexing, leading to substantial cost savings compared to Splunk. While both platforms support data archiving in an S3 bucket for cost-effective long-term retention, Coralogix allows users to query archived data without reindexing, unlike Splunk, which can incur additional costs. Additionally, Coralogix offers a more predictable pricing model based on data ingestion volume, in contrast to Splunk's complex and often unpredictable pricing structure. Coralogix also provides superior customer support with 24/7 availability and rapid response times, whereas Splunk's support is more limited. Furthermore, Coralogix offers specialized dashboards for technologies like Kubernetes and Serverless, enhancing usability, while Splunk relies on more generic dashboards.
