I tried both. Signoz is pretty sloppily built. For ex the self hosted option starts a ZK instance with 1 clickhouse host-no way to disable, 800MB ram. Signoz log transformation tool is broken and confusing.

HyperDX is just a lot better, sure a few papercuts but they got all the important stuff right imo.

hey, SigNoz maintainer here.

Can you share which version of SigNoz did you try or what time frame? We recently made a lot of improvement in how you can host SigNoz including support for Postgres and better docs fro self hosting corretcly - https://signoz.io/docs/collection-agents/get-started/
