Monitoring microservices has become streamlined and custom dashboards provide clear bug insights
I cannot think of something specific regarding improvements for Groundcover Observability Platform as it is quite effective, especially compared to my previous experience with a Rapid7 platform, which was considerably worse. I think it would be beneficial to see the body and content of API calls in the traces as a possible improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Groundcover Observability Platform has impacted my organization positively as it is the primary way we use observability in our company, so it has a significant impact."
"We switched to Groundcover Observability Platform primarily because of the difficult query syntax in our previous solution, and we chose Groundcover for their business model as they don't charge based on log storage, they provide the infrastructure, and from a security perspective, the data stays in-house, which wasn't the case with our previous tool."
"Groundcover Observability Platform scales effectively with our organization's growth as we add new environments and everything works great, and the migration from our old product went very smoothly, allowing us to deprecate it rather quickly."
"Nudge APM helps my organization to meet all SLA requirements, thanks to alert triggers."
"Gives us clear information on what is going wrong and where we need to focus to improve our applications, with real added value in our IT internal and external organization as we open Nudge APM dashboard to our outsourced suppliers."
"Performance management is a shared concern and APM tools must be used by all people involved in the build and run process."
"Great reduction in resolution time: proactive identification of errors before users send incidents."
 

Cons

"I would assess the stability and reliability of Groundcover Observability Platform as an eight out of ten; while I haven't experienced issues personally, I am aware they occasionally encounter some challenges."
"I think it would be beneficial to see the body and content of API calls in the traces as a possible improvement."
"No automatic alerting"
"There is room for improvement on the portal to access the collected data, but it has already been enhanced with great zooming features."
