Very good, we have been with them since the beginning of 2023 and after experiencing the likes of DataDog, Dynatrace and Instana they have been a breath of fresh air with VERY predictable and reasonable pricing and a support team that is very eager to help out when you need them. Even going above and beyond and advising on how to use the data that is gathered by them inside your infrastructure and notifying you on how future changes might affect the usage of that raw data from the deployed databases.

Easy setup, simple pricing model no hidden fees. Full control over retention without affecting cost. Mostly used eBPF integrations out of the box. Simple UI that gets directly to the point.

Some eBPF integrations not yet available

Groundcover is so simple to implement and use! we built our obsevability around it and are very happy with it! logs ,metrics, dashboard - everything! the pricing is great and simple and their slack community and tech team is very responsive and helpful! we use it on a daily basis and it has proved itself as the best solution for a startup in our size!

more slice and dices option will be great and maybe additional dashboards and templates , but the product keeps improving and those features are already showing up.

A lot of important data is exposed, this helps a lot to debug our production

As a new user i find it hard to get into all of the abilities i have in groundcover

The ease of deployment, the platform, availability of majority of the features. And constant feature releases.

Nothing as such. The team is constantly improving and bringing in new features.

Amazing experience from the UI to the UX, very recommended

Liked how native groundcover is with EKS, can be installed in a couple of minutes and provides a full observability platform. It’s also low on resources and take an a minimal additional footprint on the infrastructure.

groundcover’s bread and butter is still K8s. for outside K8s they support a lot of intergrations but the experience is not as immediate as inside out EKS environment

We liked the idea of hosting data in our cloud account and at the same time having the ability to use the service as SaaS. We also liked the ability to have fully managed observability service as such a low cost.

groundcover services are still maturing. We had to request couple of features that do not exist yet.

It was very refreshing experience to setup such tool so quickly and get value out of it even quicker. Free plan is perfect for evaluation, even month-long, as the only limitation is a number of seats.

It is super easy to install (installer is clever enough to ask about kubernetes node taints required to be able to provision all nodes), just few steps in small cli tool. All the data is aggregated and displayed in meaningful way right at the front page, no need to spend hours learning documentation on how setup and use the tool. Very intuitive tool, focused on providing insight into health / state of k8s cluster and services and it does it really well. Historical data (events, logs, traces, metrics) allows you to quickly figure out issues that happened last night leaving no room for guess-work.

At this point it is missing eBPF support for MSSQL, navigating through distributed traces could be improved (group them by transaction type and aggregate based on that).

Very good - I doesn't have to care about things like grafana or prometheus

* easy to setup * monitor all HTTP traffic * nice dashboard

* missing filtering on http traces * network traces should have view where one column shot "Host" header

Easy to navigate and search logs. Shows good metrics pods-wise

Hard to find the details of a specific log

It is pretty easy and fast to setuo, and the UI is simple and understandable, but feature-rich.

The default setup had some stability issues at first, but the groundcover team was very helpful to solve them.

We utilize Groundcover for our infrastructure's observability. The cost-benefit tradeoff has been remarkable. With minimal effort, we've gained a comprehensive understanding of our infrastructure's inner workings, significantly enhancing our knowledge of the cluster's activities. Additionally, we've configured security-related alerts using NGINX logs as the data source, further bolstering our monitoring capabilities.

Groundcover has significantly impacted our small team, offering immediate insights into our EKS cluster within just 10 minutes. Its GitOps-compatible configuration seamlessly integrates into our workflow. The support via the Slack channel is outstanding, with the team being highly responsive and patient, consistently providing replies in under an hour.

The current dashboards and alerts in Groundcover, which utilize an embedded Grafana, certainly deliver impressive functionalities. However, exploring a unique approach developed by Groundcover itself could potentially improve the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the visibility I have as a developer to investigate real-life issues across all of our customers' deployments. With GroundCover we're able to proactively find issues in our customers' environments, and fix them before they affect them.

Our customers are divided into multiple different clusters, and the view in GroundCover is per cluster - so we need to move between clusters to see the whole scope of the issue (although most of the time looking at one of the clusters is enough to identify issues). I hope they'll add the ability to aggregate all clusters in some view in the future.

Very easy to see complicated data. See log trace with great filter feature.

In first look it look cheap product, but after digging in it very compact and powerfull.

Run fast in high scale . gives you a very good and deep insights for your apps and network / resources

don't have any yet I really like your product - I came from Nokia and we implement something similar but this is by far better

Simple easy to understand UX which gives quick insights

I haven't experienced any issues yet on groundcover

Makes work much easier. For example, finding logs.

Takes some time getting used to it but after a while its fine.
