SUSE Cloud Observability Reviews & Product Details

I like SUSE Cloud Observability for its centralized dashboards, real-time alerts, seamless integration with SUSE and cloud environments, user-friendly interface, and straightforward implementation, which allows daily monitoring and troubleshooting with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The advanced features have a learning curve, some integrations require extra setup, and alerts can be noisy if not carefully configured, though support is responsive when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SUSE Cloud Observability (SCO) offers several strong features, but what stands out most—and what users often appreciate best—is its deep integration with Kubernetes and cloud-native environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost variability Pay-as-you-go model may result in unexpected expenses for high-volume usage.

Learning curve Requires familiarity with Kubernetes/OpenTelemetry; initial setup can be involved.

Missing RED signals Errors and Duration metrics not available out of the box—requires additional setup.

Competitor strengths Tools like Datadog and AppDynamics may offer richer logging, alerting, or database monitoring out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stackstate as K8 observability software is easy to use and is thus easily adopted by our tech teams. Mainly because because of the out of the box monitors and remediation guides. Fast time-to-value for 'regular' engineers. And: quite easy to implement.

The level and responsiveness of the tech support of the Stackstate team is also remarkable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No dislikes or downsides yet.

One management feature was missing, which was really important for our operational teams: our request was quickly roadmapped. So Stackstate is acting fast when you have a request as a customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It simply works! No complicated installation procedures—just straightforward and easy. Supported by an enthusiastic team of engineers who are actively working on an impressive feature roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- I have not really experienced problems with the program throughout these 2 years of use.

- pricing model can be a challenge if you have a lot of CI in the landscape. -> scope is important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A tool that provides state of the art observability, but what i like most about StackState is that they listen to the customer, work with the customer to make the product better.

For instance commit to feature requests like multi tenancy, webhooks etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Have not found anything to dislike yet!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

StackState provides a very intuitive interface, with several out-of-the-box integration capabilities, which allow a fast integration cycle providing a set of quick-wins. the easiness of use allows the tool to be used by several teams in the organization, from a 1st line of support until the engineering and architecture teams.

Despite the initial integration cycle being very interesting, an expected learning cycle will be required to achieve a full integration of the application layer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It collects monitoring data from various sources and shows you the topology, relations, metrics and anonalies in a single graphical interface.

Customer Support is really great and they always make you feel that they are always with you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every platform has limits and most of the companies have not such number of components. But If you have hundred thousands of components you must select the set for anomaly detection Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a couple of aspects of StackState that were helpful to us. First, the ability to gain deep insights into our entire AWS/EKS stack. We were already using Dynatrace and CloudWatch but were still not getting the depth of observability we needed to ensure we maintain our SaaS solution's top service levels for customers.

Within minutes of installing StackState, the software auto-discovered and mapped the topology of our entire IT environment – including ingesting data from Dynatrace and CloudWatch, so that we truly had a unified picture of our stack from all data sources.

Within three hours, we discovered and successfully troubleshot two unknown performance issues in our production cluster: One in the database and one in the application layer. We could see where the bottleneck resided and was able to correct both issues in less than a day. Fixing the problems enabled us to achieve two things: (1) to cut in half the transaction times our customers experienced while using our application and (2) to reduce RDS infrastructure costs by 75%. The most important thing, however, was that our customers noticed the faster app response. When your customers notice – and comment, you know you’ve done something great for them.

FieldPulse also uses StackState in our change management process to capture before and after topology snapshots for compliance reasons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like any software application you use, there are always things you want to improve. The essentials are there, but we’d like to compare more readily some of the metrics like EC2, application, and utilization of the Kubernetes layer, compare some things on the database layer and get that picture right now to check what’s going on. We can do this today, but we must go to several places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

StackState gives observability in your complete ICT landscape. It builds dynamic topology views based on cloud and CMDB data and provides you with an actual view of your architecture. You can define views of your ICT of your mission critical processes and drill down until component level.

It provides you with alerts in case of incidents. It helps you find the root cause of incidents and gives quick insight in the impact of incidents.

It helps you prepare changes and predict the possible impact of changes.

The roadmap of Stackstate works towards real AIops, starting with Anomaly detection and Health prediction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
