Best Telemetry Software

Compare the Top Telemetry Software as of January 2026

What is Telemetry Software?

Telemetry software is designed to collect, transmit, and analyze data from remote or distributed systems in real time. It allows organizations to monitor the performance, health, and behavior of various devices, machines, or applications from a central location. The software gathers data such as system metrics, error logs, or user interactions, and sends it to a centralized database or server for analysis. This data is then used to identify issues, optimize performance, or predict future problems. Telemetry software is widely used in industries like aerospace, automotive, telecommunications, and IT infrastructure for proactive maintenance and decision-making. Compare and read user reviews of the best Telemetry software currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    IBM Instana
    IBM Instana is the gold standard of incident prevention with automated full-stack visibility, 1-second granularity and 3 seconds to notify. With today’s highly dynamic and complex cloud environments, the average cost of an hour of downtime can reach six figures and beyond. Traditional application performance monitoring (APM) tools simply aren’t fast enough to keep up or thorough enough to contextualize the issues identified. Also, they are typically limited to super users who must complete months of training to learn. IBM Instana Observability goes beyond traditional APM solutions by democratizing observability so anyone across DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, ITOps and development can get the data they want with the context they need. Instana Dynamic APM operates using the Instana agent architecture, which incorporates sensors—lightweight, automated programs tailored to monitor specific entities.

    Cribl Stream
    Cribl Stream allows you to implement an observability pipeline which helps you parse, restructure, and enrich data in flight - before you pay to analyze it. Get the right data, where you want, in the formats you need. Route data to the best tool for the job - or all the tools for the job - by translating and formatting data into any tooling schema you require. Let different departments choose different analytics environments without having to deploy new agents or forwarders. As much as 50% of log and metric data goes unused – null fields, duplicate data, and fields that offer zero analytical value. With Cribl Stream, you can trim wasted data streams and analyze only what you need. Cribl Stream is the best way to get multiple data formats into the tools you trust for your Security and IT efforts. Use the Cribl Stream universal receiver to collect from any machine data source - and even to schedule batch collection from REST APIs, Kinesis Firehose, Raw HTTP, and Microsoft Office 365 APIs
