Room For Improvement

Gremlin could improve through AI-driven analysis, better user onboarding, expanded service integrations, enhanced UI, and additional learning resources.
The system requires efficiency improvements in data usage, cost management, enrichment, search interface, query speed, and pre-built dashboards.
I think it would be useful to have some integration with Splunk or other log collectors, or maybe in the future, the ability to link Dynatrace or any other observability platform.

Valuable Features

Gremlin enhances efficiency with test suites, fault injection, risk detection, and reliability insights, boosting uptime and customer satisfaction.
Sumo Logic Observability offers real-time alerting, apps, team collaboration, easy integration, and a flexible query language, boosting incident resolution.
There are really two pathways along: fewer incidents because with Gremlin Reliability Management Platform, we can make every part of the infrastructure more solid, and less downtime because we can test more architectures and then things like how to put in high availability clusters.
Dev Ops To Development (IT) at a non-tech company with self employed
We fix failures even before they occur, which is basically proactive risk detection and risk mitigation.
VP Global at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

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.

Getting up and running is easy, even for a newbie but management of searches definitely needs improvement
Operational effectiveness with regards to when there's an issue, when there's a reactive issue, people are able to, or as well as proactively, actually, because we use their PagerDuty integrations. We use queries in Sumo Logic to trigger alerts based on logging. That allows us to proactively identify issues as they're happening. With those same alerts, obviously, with that platform, you can use it to reactively start looking at troubleshooting issues as they're happening right then and there or incidents. So it's been very, very good for alerting and for troubleshooting issues. For predicting issues before they happen, it is not very good. They have a feature called anomaly detection, but I think it's quite premature compared to other stuff out there. So it's good for alerts and for troubleshooting operational effectiveness. When your operations are down or segregated, it's perfect because it will help you diagnose the issues.
