Bronto vs. Coralogix
Coralogix routes your logs into priority tiers to control cost. With Bronto, every log stays fully indexed and always hot for 12 months, with sub-second search and one predictable price.
Why Teams are
Choosing Bronto
High-level comparison across what matters most.
Retention
12 Month Always Hot Retention
Retain a larger dataset to ensure that your root cause analysis has rich context. No archiving or rehydrating logs, traces, or metrics to find what matters.
Hot for Days, Archived After
Coralogix indexes Frequent Search data in hot storage and doesn't generally recommend keeping it longer than 7 days. Everything older lives in your S3 archive.
Data Routing
No Pipelines to Pick
Every log Bronto receives gets the same treatment: stored in full, indexed, and searchable for 12 months. Nothing to sort before you know what you'll need.
Sort Your Data Up Front
The TCO Optimizer routes each log to Frequent Search, Monitoring, or Compliance at different prices. Every routing rule is a bet on which logs you'll need to search fast.
Storage Operations
Fully Managed, Nothing to Run
Bronto stores and serves your data as fully managed SaaS. No buckets, lifecycle rules, or storage bills on your side.
An Archive You Run
Long-term retention depends on an S3 bucket you own, secure, and pay for, with lifecycle policies your team maintains.
Cost of Ownership
Transparent & Predictable Pricing
No surprise bills. Choose the Bronto plan that is right for you and see how accessible fully-managed logs, traces, & metrics can be for your applications.
Daily Quotas and Expiring Units
Plans are bought as daily unit quotas. Past 2x your quota, data is blocked until midnight UTC, and unused units expire at the end of your term.
One platform for all of your data
Logs
Filter with smart SQL autocomplete and keyboard-driven shortcuts. Results return in seconds — even across terabytes. Drill into any attribute, view raw logs, or jump straight into traces from the log table.

“The combination of long-term retention, lightning-fast search, and AI-powered insights means we catch issues much earlier, often before customers notice them.”
Paul Griffin
Head of Platform Engineering
“We can access data with sub-second search, whether it's from last week or last year. For AI-powered analysis of our logs, data availability is key — it's just not possible with only a few days of retention.”
John Fitzpatrick
CTO
“Tasks that used to take 15 minutes are now almost instant. With a year's worth of data retention instead of just 90 days, I can now identify annual trends and patterns I couldn't see before.”
Brian Elliott
Senior Engineering Manager
“It's a night and day difference to our previous logging provider. Bronto typically returns results in seconds, while our old vendor took over 30 minutes and frequently failed to render visualizations.”
Jaymin Patel
Team Lead
“Bronto helped us cut costs and centralize our multi-cloud application logging. Troubleshooting is now significantly faster, and having all our logs correlate properly in one place has been a game-changer.”
Joaquín Sargiotto
DevOps Team Lead
“The TCO reduction is significant — we're saving hundreds of thousands annually. But the real value is in new and significantly enhanced capabilities. A significant reduction in time to root cause, investigating issues from months ago, having logs actually available during incidents — these aren't just improvements, they're game-changers. Our SysOps team now get to work on platform innovation instead of keeping Graylog alive.”
