JB Julius B. CTO/Co-founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/15/2024 "Very simple installation and all data is stored locally in the company's infrastructure." 5/5 What do you like best about groundcover? All data is stored locally, with very simple plans so it is very easy to calculate costs. You have full control over all retention without incurring extra costs as it is running on your infrastructure. Also, the Groundcover team is very quick to help and even provides suggestions/best practices and status updates on how to fetch data from the internal Clickhouse database that is deployed as part of the service. This also includes information related to upcoming internal changes that might affect your custom-developed services that use groundcover data, that is going above and beyond! It is very easy to install using in our case, their helm charts. And their UI is very simple and intuitive when it comes to reading logs, traces and metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about groundcover? Their built-in eBPF plugins are still limited, but that is a very small downside as they support oTEL and Prometheus out of the box.

Data Science Intern Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/16/2024 "Loved monitoring the logs while integrating it with kubeflow" 4/5 What do you like best about groundcover? What I liked the most about groundcover is how easily it integrates with Kubeflow for monitoring data pipelines. The real-time log tracking and observability features are really amazing. Also, when dealing with complex workflows, it works wuite effectively. You get clear insights of what's happening at each pipeline stage in kubeflow which also helps trscking down issues quickly. The interface is intuitive and very useful. I'm an intern and it wasn't difficult for me to adapt to groundcover. I often use groundcover multiple times throughout the week. The logs are just better observed there compared to other tools or directly at the kubeflow log viewer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about groundcover? Though I love groundcover, I think it can be resource intensive at times, especially when running synchronous jobs. I was once running multiple kubeflow runs and encountered resources allocation issue. This was not updated in the logs until the maximum retries ended for resource allocation. Apart from this, the dashboard looks a little messy when there are so many logs being monitored across the nodes and pods Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is groundcover solving and how is that benefiting you? Groundcover has helped my team with the problem of manually tracking data logs in real time. For my work at my organization, especially with Kubeflow, this is essential! It has helped catch issues well ahead of time ensuring that the pipeline is functioning smoothly and there are no unexpected failures or issues. This not only saves time but also improves the reliability of the entire process for me and my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
