Why teams switch to aiAxonIQ
OpenTelemetry native
Built from day one on OTEL, not retrofitted. Your instrumentation code is standard and portable.
Predictable economics
No per-host fees, no per-seat surprises, no data spikes turning into budget crises.
Metrics, traces, and logs, unified
Jump from a log line to the trace it belongs to, then to the metric spike that caused it.
No vendor lock-in
Export your data anytime. We use ClickHouse, you can query it directly if you want.
