HOW WE COMPARE

Keep your agents.
Change where the telemetry lands.

Epok stores and joins your logs, metrics and traces, and turns a failure into one incident with its evidence. You evaluate that by shipping to both for 14 days — your dashboards and paging stay authoritative.

your agents · ship to both · no cutover to start · pre-agreed scorecard

01
What you keep

The open shippers you already run; no proprietary Epok server agent. Your dashboards and paging stay authoritative while you evaluate.

02
What changes

Epok stores and joins your logs, metrics and traces, watches them without authored monitors, and turns a failure into one incident with its evidence — or an explicit abstention.

03
How to evaluate

Ship to both for 14 days. Score correct, incorrect, abstained, and missed outcomes; compare alert fanout, time to verified cause, and responder effort.

WHAT YOU KEEP

Your agents, and control of the decision.

  • — Your open shippers — no Epok server agent
  • — Your dashboards and runbooks while you evaluate
  • — Your paging and incident command, authoritative throughout
  • — A clean exit: revoke the key, remove the exporter
WHAT CHANGES

Where the telemetry lands — and what it produces.

  • ✓ Logs, metrics and traces land in one place, joined
  • ✓ Automatic detectors watch continuously
  • ✓ Repeats and cascades group before paging
  • ✓ Committed claims link to source evidence; weak evidence abstains

Ship to both for 14 days. Then decide.

Point your existing agents at Epok as well, and make the decision depend on the agreed incident and operational scorecard.
