Late last year, Datadog announced something called Flex Logs, a “more affordable” warm storage tier for log data. Designed for high-volume datasets that are infrequently queried and don't require real-time analysis, the Flex Tier offers Datadog Log Management customers a third option for data storage.

At Sumo Logic, we’re committed to helping you scale without breaking your budget. As you may have heard, we recently launched Flex Licensing, a first-of-its-kind economic model that offers free, unlimited log data ingest so different teams can capture and analyze critical data across their enterprise in one place. We’re also committed to tackling related challenges raised by other data sources — like metrics.

With all the buzz around ChatGPT and the rapid mainstreaming of generative AI, 2024 was predicted to be the year of AI.

Long-term Splunk customers with many dashboards, saved searches and monitors understandably want to retain a consistent experience for end users. As a result, a replacement strategy requires migration.
