Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Grafana
- The free tier retains metrics, logs and traces for 14 days only
- Free is capped at 10,000 active metric series and 50 GB each of logs and traces a month
- The Pro plan carries a $19 a month platform fee before any usage charges
- Logs and traces are billed on three separate meters, at $0.050 per GB processed, $0.400 per GB written and $0.100 per GB retained
- Retaining data is an ongoing charge rather than a one off, so historical data costs every month it exists
Ivanti
- No pricing is published on the products page; the only routes are Contact Our Team or the How to Buy page describing the sales process, per ivanti.com, August 2026
