We use Dynatrace at my dayjob, it’s not “cheap” by any means but it’s cheaper than New Relic and hot damn does it work nicely with kubernetes. Costs something in the ballpark of $75-70/mo per 16GB of RAM on monitored system, user monitoring and synthetics cost extra. It’s a tool that easily saves us the ~15K/yr spend we have with them - I still feel like we are getting fleeced a bit but I review the field annually and it’s still the best tool from a value perspective. Unless you have need to purchase 50+ host units there’s not really any contract discount, so you can try out their pay-as-you-go offering and see if it works for you.
