Pros

“Only a few minutes are required to setup the monitoring agents and we have pre-built integrations for cloud infrastructure that help our IT team to save a lot of manual configuration time.”

“It replaced stitching together separate metrics, logs, and tracing tools with one correlated platform, which shortened incident resolution and gave the team much better visibility into production.”

Cons

“Pricing is the big drawback: costs can climb quickly and unpredictably as you add hosts, custom metrics, and log ingestion, so you have to actively manage what you send.”

Kaynan S.

Software Engineer

“The sheer volume of features can also feel overwhelming at first, making it hard to know where to start without proper onboarding or documentation.”
RV

Rakhi V.

QA Lead

“The consequences can include loss of information (due to the developer interpreting the stakeholder's need / wish differently) or confusion (the developer having a tech focused mindset and language while the stakeholders do not)”
