Why this matters
Consolidation is a CFO conversation
Prospects rarely fail on licensing alone. The hidden tax is alert fatigue, MTTR drag, and ops toil from running Datadog + Splunk + Grafana (or similar) in parallel.
- 4× lower TCO vs Datadog at scale (Elastic benchmarks)
- 6.6× storage efficiency — columnar TSDS
- Target story: 15–40% savings, payback 12–18 months
Pick a scenario above — defaults match a typical Enterprise consolidation target (~$500K–800K sprawl).
