Most Reliable Cloud Monitoring Tools for My App

Hi everyone,

Opening up a discussion about the most dependable cloud monitoring platforms, especially for tracking performance, usage, and health across modern applications. There are plenty of options with strong reputations on G2, but hearing from real users can help clarify how they perform in production.

Here are a few that consistently show up:

1. Dynatrace: Known for AI-powered observability and full-stack monitoring. Does it deliver actionable insights without overwhelming smaller teams?
2. Datadog: Packed with integrations and real-time dashboards. How’s the learning curve for teams without a dedicated DevOps resource?
3. LogicMonitor: Cloud-first monitoring with hybrid infrastructure support. Is it a good fit for fast-scaling environments?
4. New Relic: Offers APM, logs, and infrastructure monitoring in one place. Curious how well it balances depth with ease of use.
5. IBM Instana: Emphasizes real-time visibility and automation. Does it simplify troubleshooting or feel more enterprise-focused?

If you’ve used any of these platforms for cloud monitoring, I would love to hear about real-time alerting, ease of implementation, or performance at scale.
