Chaos experiments have revealed weak points and now provide controlled cost-saving tests

The best features of Gremlin Reliability Management Platform are the safe failure injection, which is crucial as we can simulate the failures in a manner that we know these are just dumping tests and not the actual issues. Whether it is the CPU spike or the memory exhaustion, or the network latency, or the server shutdown, server shutdown is one of the most favorite features that I have in Gremlin Reliability Management Platform. The controlled blast radius is another standout feature. The controlled blast radius feature has helped my team in that we actually wanted to target only one specific container, our Docker containers that we deployed. It helped us to conduct tests in a very specific, isolated manner instead of launching a larger test or focusing on hundreds of servers at a time, resulting in very limited impact. Since ours is a very small team, we do not want to impact other servers. This controlled blast radius helped us to only focus on our servers and not impact any other team. Gremlin Reliability Management Platform has positively impacted my organization because before Gremlin Reliability Management Platform, we did not even know how to conduct these chaos engineering tests. We heard about it, but we had no idea of how to do something of that nature. If there are ten servers, ten systems in our architecture and if suddenly something goes down, nobody knew what would happen next. We did not even know how to simulate these types of tests. This lack of confidence has been mitigated by using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform. Now we can confidently test and see which system is the most critical. If this goes down, what happens? How much business valuation are we going to impact? How much loss are we going to incur? All of this is now clearly visible and transparent. Since using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform, we were able to reduce the incidents by six percent after conducting our limited experiments. We were also able to increase the uptime from ninety-eight to ninety-nine, which represents a one percent increase in uptime.

Has good filtering and rating features and helps with resource and load management

I've not used Stackify for a while, and I'm currently using a solution now that's not as good as Stackify. Among the solutions I've been using so far, Stackify has been one of the best for me, but there's always room for improvement. For example, I don't know if it's just me, but when I try to get the log from Stackify, sometimes it doesn't appear in real-time. It takes a few minutes before the logs appear. When I redeploy my solution and the application starts, I don't see the logs immediately, and it would take two to three minutes before I see the logs. I don't know if other customers have a similar experience. It's the wait time for the logs to appear that's a concern for me, could be improved, and is what the Stackify team should be looking into. In terms of any additional feature that I'd like added to the solution, I'm not sure if Stackify has a way to export logs out. I've been trying to do it. On the solution, you can click on a spiral-like icon and it shows you the entire error, and I'd prefer an export button that would let me download the error and save that into a text file, for example, so it'll be available on my local machine for me to reference it, especially because the log keeps going and as you're using the solution, the system keeps pushing messages on to Stackify, so if I'm looking at a particular error at 12:05 PM, for example, by the time I go back to my system and would like to revisit the error at 12:25 PM, on Stackify, the logs would have gone past that level and I won't see it again which makes it difficult. When you now go back to that timestamp, you don't tend to see it immediately, but if the solution had an export feature for me to save that particular error information on my local machine for reference at a later time, I won't have to go back to Stackify. I just go to that log, specifically to that particular export that I've received on my local machine. I can get it and review it, and it would be easier that way versus me going back to Stackify to find that particular error and request that particular information.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The Enterprise Reliability Platform has positively impacted my organization as it has significantly increased the efficiency and reliability of our systems."

"Gremlin Reliability Management Platform has impacted my organization positively as it helped a lot and reduced our failures, allowing us to find critical pinpoints in our application that had existed for three to ten months and led to too many improvements, reduced downtime, and a smoother experience for our application on AWS."

"More than anything, we fix failures even before they occur, which is basically proactive risk detection and risk mitigation."

"We are seeing a return on investment from using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform because we are getting less production issues by thirty percent, as I mentioned earlier, making it a great investment."

"Gremlin Reliability Management Platform is amazing with the reliability score, providing built-in Chaos Engineering experiments that you run on your service to receive a reliability score along with insights on the issues and risks present in your service that you can examine and work on."

"Gremlin Reliability Management Platform has positively impacted our organization by making outages less frequent and improving recovery time significantly, resulting in fewer complaints on the customer success side and overall optimization of our DevOps process."

"Since using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform, we were able to reduce the incidents by six percent after conducting our limited experiments, and we were also able to increase the uptime from ninety-eight to ninety-nine, which represents a one percent increase in uptime."

"Using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform has raised more than fifty percent of the reliability of the infrastructure."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"My advice to anyone who wants to use Stackify is to go for it because my experience with it is good."

"The filter feature on Stackify is one of the features I found valuable. It's awesome. When I want to get the application logs, the solution gives me many filters. For example, if I want to get logs from my test environment, the option is there for me to select the environment from Stackify, and you can also select the particular application, and you'll see the information you need there. The filter feature alone and the fact that Stackify offers a lot of different filters is what I like the most about the solution because I've used other tools with the filter feature, but the filtering was very difficult, versus Stackify that has good filtering. On Stackify, you can filter the information by the last one hour, or the last four hours, and you can also select the date range and specify the timestamp, then the solution will give you the information based on the date range you specified. Another feature I found valuable on Stackify is its rating feature because it tells you how your application is faring. For example, a rating of A means excellent, while a rating of F means very bad, or that your application is not doing well at all. The ratings are from A to F. I also like that Stackify helps you in terms of load management because the solution gives you information on overutilized resources. These are the most valuable features of the solution."

"Within few hours of install we've identify the source of issue we've been investigating for few days and couldn't pin point."

"The deployment is very fast."

"It is very simple and very easy to configure."

"The performance dashboard and the accurate level of details are beneficial."

"We switched from New Relic and Loggly as it provides us more info at a lower price."

Cons

"I think that it will be important to have resources to perform self-directed studies on Gremlin Reliability Management Platform as an improvement."

"I rate it an eight because we are still using it on a trial and error basis, and the pricing could be optimized for better cost visibility and ROI tracking."

"If you really look at the cost-benefit visibility, it is not very evident by using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform."

"I think Gremlin Reliability Management Platform can be improved by integrating with more AWS services or GCP services."

"Gremlin Reliability Management Platform can be improved as the pricing is a bit expensive and the learning curve for beginners is a bit difficult."

"When I redeploy my solution and the application starts, I don't see the logs immediately, and it would take two to three minutes before I see the logs."

"I'm looking to see more performance tools, but heard that they are going to release some."

"I've not used Stackify for a while, and I'm currently using a solution now that's not as good as Stackify.

"It should be easily scalable and configurable in different instances."

"Better mobile support."

"One thing that happens as a new user on Stackify is when you install the agent it pulls everything and if you're not careful, your log allowance will just be exhausted as you are actually pulling too much data."

"It's not easy to set up. It's hard especially for juniors to understand."

"I would like to be able to see metrics about individual running containers on the host machines."
