Zero metric or log storage in SaaS. All observability data stays on-premises while Cloud provides unified access. GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS compliance by design.

Predictable Economics

Transparent per-node pricing with P90 billing protection. No charges for metrics volume, logs, users, or queries. 90% cost reduction validated.

Real-Time at Scale

Per-second visibility with sub-2-second latency across 100,000+ nodes. Distributed architecture eliminates central bottlenecks for linear scaling.

AI-Powered Intelligence

Managed AI troubleshooting with full infrastructure context. Root cause analysis, blast radius detection, and automated reporting in natural language.

Enterprise Multi-Tenancy

Spaces for physical isolation, Rooms for logical organization. Ideal for MSPs managing multiple customers or enterprises with complex structures.

Deploy in Minutes

Zero configuration required. Auto-discovery, algorithmic dashboards, pre-configured alerts, and ML training begin immediately after agent installation.

Trusted by operations teams worldwide

Unified Infrastructure Control Without Data Centralization

Orchestrate Queries Across Distributed Intelligence

Cloud distributes queries to Agents and Parents in parallel, aggregating results in real-time. No data replication, no central storage bottleneck, no performance degradation at scale. Each node processes locally with sub-2-second response times.

100,000+ nodes

Learn about architecture

Orchestrate Queries Across Distributed Intelligence

Access From Anywhere With Complete Security

Single sign-on via OIDC, automatic user provisioning with SCIM 2.0, LDAP/AD group mapping for role assignment. Comprehensive audit logs track every action. IP whitelisting and multi-factor authentication protect access while maintaining convenience.

How Distributed Architecture Transforms Operations

Traditional SaaS platforms centralize data and create bottlenecks. Netdata Cloud orchestrates distributed intelligence for superior performance and economics.

Data Centralization

Traditional platforms replicate all metrics and logs to central databases

Exponential Costs and Bottlenecks

Ingestion fees, storage multiplication, egress charges, and query performance degradation at scale

Distributed Intelligence

Netdata processes data at the edge with Cloud orchestrating queries

Linear Scaling and Predictable Costs

No data replication, no egress charges, sub-2-second latency at any scale, 90% cost reduction

Manual Configuration

Traditional tools require dashboard building, threshold tuning, and query language expertise

Weeks to Deploy and Maintain

Specialized skills required, constant maintenance burden, slow time to value

Zero Configuration

Netdata auto-discovers infrastructure and generates algorithmic dashboards

Minutes to Full Visibility

No query languages, no manual setup, immediate insights, accessible to all skill levels

Sampled Data

Traditional platforms sample metrics to control costs and reduce processing load

Blind Spots During Incidents

Transient issues missed, incomplete troubleshooting context, longer MTTR

Per-Second Granularity

Netdata captures every metric every second with 100% sample completeness

Complete Incident Visibility

Catch transient issues, accurate root cause analysis, 80% MTTR reduction
