The Essentials Tier

There are two tiers in the new model: Enterprise and Essentials.

Essentials is a subset of Enterprise and offers a self-hosted way to get started, with an easy trial installation and subscription page, and a simplified interface with the most important features of Sysdig Monitor and/or Sysdig Secure.

At a high level, the tiers differ in their:

  • Available modules Essentials does not include Explore or Captures, and provides simplified Dashboards in Sysdig Monitor. It provides simplified incident response and forensics options in Sysdig Secure.

  • Available settings Essentials provides simplified Teams and Roles.

  • Differing limits The tiers offer varying limits for the number of available agents, data retention policies, and metrics limits.

The feature comparison table for each tier is provided at https://sysdig.com/pricing.
