Why Use Arex for Traces?

Reduce Index Size

Performance at Scale

Unlike other tracing tools, Arex Traces does not index the traces which makes it possible to store orders of magnitude more trace data for the same cost, and removes the need for sampling.
  • Stores orders of magnitude more trace data for the same cost, and removes the need for sampling.
  • Reduces the TCO by an order of magnitude and makes the system overall much easier to use.
