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.

It was pretty simple to set up and very easy to deploy. Very different from other container solutions. When we needed technical support, they solved our problems very quickly in a very short time. It was quite successful in our automation problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion, Rancher does not increase its awareness in the market. There should be more technical documentation and technical support teams in local languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ramcher has played a role in quickly setting up the Kubernetes cluster in a very short time. It is very versatile and helps in the movement and management of Kubernetes across multiple clouds and hyperscalers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike it, but there are a lot of features and characteristics available which we need to look into in detail and train the SMEs on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rancher allows for the seamless management of multiple Kubernetes clusters via a single pane of glass. The ability to integrate RBAC for all Kube clusters through a single interface is a must. Their web GUI simplifies many daunting tasks for users new to Kubernetes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downsides have been keeping up with the speed of Kubernetes and aligning the underlying Kubernetes engine (RKE) to stay within a supported matrix. I believe getting up to date with RKE2 and migrating over will help alleviate some growing pains. 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.

The lay-out of the screens contains all information but could be more attractive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rancher is the best when it comes to automatic scaling and an interactive GUI to get started with your Kubernetes clusters. It helps to get started with Kubernetes even if you don't have a large IT department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike as it is getting better but I hope in future that the Rancher created Kubernetes clusters have the ability to get detached from the Rancher Kubernetes management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
