It’s also low on resources and take an a minimal additional footprint on the infrastructure. > > **Cons**: 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 > > Amazing experience from the UI to the UX, very recommended ----- ### "GC All-in-1" — 4.0/5 > **Dinesh** | *16 October 2024* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Getting all in one place. UI is very good and easy to use. Most liked feature is where I get to select "ONLY" while filtering out. Another thing I get to monitor all resources and infrastructure at one place which helps in monitoring our services. > > **Cons**: Screen resolution is the issue, sometimes I can not fully see the traces or logs page which come in right bottom. In monitor I am able to see them properly but when I open in laptop, I dont get to see them properly. > > Overall experience is good. Been using groundcover for last 40 days. Couple of issues like screen resolution and when the time range is large, it says unable to fetch data please reduce time range. I worked on OTEL integration and alert migration. Faced few issue while writing alert queries but GC team helped with it. ----- ### "Product has long onboarding time" — 3.0/5 > **Yair** | *21 January 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: A lot of important data is exposed, this helps a lot to debug our production > > **Cons**: As a new user i find it hard to get into all of the abilities i have in groundcover ----- ### "Great Product with Awesome Value and Room to Grow" — 4.0/5 > **Steve** | *17 October 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The pricing is a major advantage, offering good value for the features available. It's an efficient solution for those on a budget. > > **Cons**: Compared to other full-fledged products, there are areas that could use improvement. Some functionalities feel limited. > > Overall, groundcover is a good product with potential. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of more developed options, its affordability makes it a solid choice. Looking forward to future updates that enhance its features. ----- ### "Groundcover: zero effort observability" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 January 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/438838/groundcover?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/438838/groundcover) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
