Real-time log management and analysis
Google Cloud's operations suite has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to use and doesn't require any additional setup. The monitoring feature is a standout. The cloud logging feature is particularly useful, allowing users to access logs from different platforms and export them for better management. The solution is scalable and stable, with great documentation.
Google Cloud's operations suite could benefit from more automation, specifically in monitoring deployments. Users would like to see the cloud monitoring metrics collection extended to include client-side services. The logging functionality needs improvement with more profiling capabilities, and users would like the ability to analyze charts.
Some users have experienced instability and have had to add additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace. They would like to see improvements in the application log and locker.
Users have reported seeing a return on investment from utilizing Google Cloud's operations suite.
Users have reported that Google Cloud's operations suite is affordable but some suggest the cost could be lower, and express frustration at the lack of transparency in knowing the exact cost before receiving an invoice.
Google Cloud's operations suite, formerly known as Stackdriver, is primarily used for monitoring workloads, cloud logging, application performance management (APM), troubleshooting, and storage of logs. It is used by organizations to monitor all the logs and components involved in performance engineering load tests.
Most customers have not required the assistance of the customer service team. However, many mention that Google's technical support is highly satisfactory.
The initial setup for Google Cloud's operations suite was reported to be easy and straightforward. Enabling API features was all that was required, and the documentation was helpful.
The solution is regarded has highly scalable. Scaling it is said to be straightforward, involving a minimal additional cost.
Google Cloud's operations suite is regarded as stable and reliable, with no reported bugs. However, some users have experienced lagging issues that cannot be resolved.
Cloud Logging is a fully managed service that performs at scale and can ingest application and platform log data, as well as custom log data from GKE environments, VMs, and other services inside and outside of Google Cloud. Get advanced performance, troubleshooting, security, and business insights with Log Analytics, integrating the power of BigQuery into Cloud Logging.
Built-in metrics observability at scale
Cloud Monitoring provides visibility into the performance, uptime, and overall health of cloud-powered applications. Collect metrics, events, and metadata from Google Cloud services, hosted uptime probes, application instrumentation, and a variety of common application components. Visualize this data on charts and dashboards and create alerts so you are notified when metrics are outside of expected ranges.
Stand-alone managed service for running and scaling Prometheus
Managed Service for Prometheus is a fully managed Prometheus-compatible monitoring solution, built on top of the same globally scalable data store as Cloud Monitoring. Keep your existing visualization, analysis, and alerting services, as this data can be queried with PromQL or Cloud Monitoring.
Monitor and improve your application's performance
Application Performance Management (APM) combines the monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities of Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring with Cloud Trace and Cloud Profiler to help you reduce latency and cost so you can run more efficient applications.
Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) was previously known as Google Stackdriver, Stackdriver Monitoring, Stackdriver Logging, Google Cloud Monitoring.
