Simplify telemetry data and control observability costs

As enterprises struggle with escalating observability costs and vendor lock-in, Apica Ascent delivers proven cost reductions while maximizing flexibility. Apica’s Visionary placement in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms, 2025 validates our focus to provide complementary tools that enhance existing investments rather than demanding costly replacements.

Apica is the anti-vendor-lock-in solution in IT telemetry that optimizes costs while maximizing flexibility, making existing and future observability investments work better while dramatically reducing costs.

Our latest innovations and dedication to breaking free from vendor lock-in reinforce a Visionary recognition focused on:

Cost Optimization Leadership: Apica enables enterprises to save up to 40% on observability spend while gaining unprecedented control over their telemetry data through breakthrough InstaStore™ technology.

Anti-Vendor Lock-in Solution: Seamless integration with 100+ existing tools including Splunk, Datadog, and Elastic without proprietary format restrictions. Ascent’s telemetry pipeline enhances rather than replaces current investments—making it the strategic choice for enterprises seeking to regain control over their observability spend while improving operational visibility.

Advanced Telemetry Pipeline: Addresses the most critical enterprise pain point—telemetry pipeline inefficiencies that drive up costs and create operational overhead—with infinite data reservoir capabilities, elastic Kubernetes-native architecture, and “Never Block, Never Drop” guarantee ensuring zero data loss.

Complete Visibility & Intelligence: Real-time observability across the entire infrastructure stack with AI/LLM-powered insights for intelligent anomaly detection and root cause analysis. 100% data indexed with instant replay, search, and reporting capabilities with flexible indexing options that decouple indexing from pipeline for cost optimization.

Observability-Optimized Storage: Use Apica’s optimized data lake or route data to your organization’s existing storage. Modular architecture that adapts to every observability strategy and budget with complete data ownership using open formats preventing vendor lock-in and cost-optimized storage tiers based on observability access patterns.

Intelligent Agent Management: Adaptive data collection that responds to environment changes automatically while protecting existing observability tool investments. Simplified configuration management through intuitive Fleet UI with “install once, update infrequently” approach reducing operational overhead.
