Google Cloud Monitoring Reviews & Product Details

Stackdriver is priced competitively and integrates very well with Google Cloud resources. It has a free uptime check tool which is nice (but not always reliable). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is severely lacking in features and feels like a rudimentary beta product. We get what we pay for.

Also the UI is full of annoying bugs (e.g. when I mouse over dashboard settings the menu renders behind the dashboard, and once something breaks everything else on the page freezes and I have to reload often) - I hope Google fixes this soon.

I ended up moving to Datadog but continue to use Stackdriver for some less important GCP metrics that I can't export (without paying for the export, that is, since Datadog's GCP Integration calls to Google Cloud cost $$) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the monitoring features for Cloud applications. Being able to have insights about the performance, uptime and overall health of the deployment is simply amazing. The dashboard is very user-friendly and does not require specific IT skills to use. Can be integrated to various services like AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dedicated support is quite pricey. Furthermore, phone support is not available at all support levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stackdriver alerts are awesome! Its' very easy to setup alerts for your server so you know everything is running as it should be. Besides just checking if a URL or instance is up you can specify the port, the physical location/region checks are received from, the option to provide authentication, and the ability to check if the response contains certain text in addition to the HTTP response. Alerts are reliable and happen quickly so you can get things back up with minimal downtime. There are also graphs and charts available to show CPU, memory, traffic, database connections etc. that can be helpful when debugging problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up Stackdriver to monitor our MySQL database was the only piece that took a little more effort and know how to setup to give Stackdriver the access it needed. It's nothing too difficult. It just requires some extra setup on your server, but the documentation is detailed and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stackdriver helps us to organize our code and diagnostics, and send it throughout the company to be reviewed and proofread. Our company uses stackdriver to spread our code throughout the IT department for coding new hospital machines. Stackdriver makes it easy to combine ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stackdriver is a google software and is not as compatible with apple computers and products. Our company uses multiple brands of devices, and it would be nice if this software were more compatible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides a great view over the operations running in the cloud related mainly to the workflows. You can create painpoints for automatic triggers such as alerts. Very easy providing logs and real time data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is still new in the market and basic for monitoring. Not well designed for metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the user interface. Very hands-on and able to be adaptable for the consumer to effectively execute tasks. This is a product which can make entities work smarter and not harder, which is what you want as an organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no real aspects I dislike. I find it very usable. I also think more companies and employees should be able to utilize its services. Being a person who is not tech savvy, perhaps it could be a hair more user friendly. For instance, my father doesn't use a cell phone nor a computer. But, he is very familiar with using a smart TV and a digital camera. So perhaps marketed to those who are not tech savvy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is way more than just any monitoring service. This brings many additional details and features to the table that other similar products don't. Offers additional alerting, error reporting, tracking, debugging, and tracing features that its competitors don't offer this many components to the usage. Very easy to use and implement. Doesn't require courses and readings to know everything about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Noticed some of the features take a little longer or are a bit slow when searching through. Also Amazon AWS customers I could see not preferring this service for the obvious reasons. Can definitely see it as the best service especially for those on the Google Cloud platform, as said earlier on other platforms may still be other "better" options right now.

Matric explorer, log-based matrics, custom collection agent, volume based pricing, datasource for grafana, pre defined dashboard, dark/light mode, custom agents for kafka, nginx, mongo db and popular products from logs/JMX, uptime monitoring Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Proprietary, no integration with open-source standards like Prometheus, not embedded in Google Cloud Console (need to redirect), UX Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is seamless and extremely helpful to track the performance monitoring, logging & also on diagnostics to give us results about our cloud based hosted platform app servers. The best part is that it is not synced only to google cloud but also AWS and some other open source cloud based solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the application tends to take more time to calculate on the performance metrics and other than that the dashboard can be improvised for the results to be shown in a detailed manner Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like its pricing best when compared to other software like it. I am truly a fan of any Google product—its interface is decent. User-friendly and it has many functionalities. Allows for error reports, activity logs, and the like. Not to mention super easy and convenient to collect other logs from your Google cloud. I do recommend.

I believe this is one of the newest products of Google like anything new it just has a few kinks to work out. But overall, you get the gist of what this is capable of doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
