NEW YORK, May 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grafana Labs, the company behind the open and composable observability platform, today announced that it has been named a Gartner Cool Vendor in the ‘Cool Vendors in Monitoring, Observability, and Cloud Operations’ report1.
“It’s an honor to be recognized as a Monitoring, Observability and Cloud Operations Cool Vendor by Gartner, and a testament to the hard work our team has done to build a comprehensive observability platform that is loved by our customers and community,” said Raj Dutt, Co-founder and CEO of Grafana Labs. “Over the past few years, we’ve been focused on creating and extending value for our customers with cloud-based and on-premise platforms built on open source that help them to achieve their observability goals.”
According to the report, “Modern infrastructure types, such as containers and cloud-based function computing, are showing the limitations of previous-generation monitoring tools. These new paradigms are ephemeral in nature, often existing only at the time of execution, which creates new challenges in observing applications and the services they provide. Enterprises are also expecting more from these tools. Frequently, the demand is now on not only identifying, isolating and resolving issues, but also optimizing systems in production to maximize throughput or minimize cost.”
Grafana Labs’ leading observability platform is available in both a free or paid cloud offering called Grafana Cloud, as well as the Grafana Enterprise Stack for on-premise. Both feature horizontal scaling and optional support for Grafana Loki (logs), Grafana Tempo (tracing) and Prometheus/Graphite (metrics). Both the cloud and on-premise options also offer free and commercial plugins to leading data sources, such as Elasticsearch, Jira, Datadog, Splunk, AppDynamics, Oracle, MongoDB, Snowflake, ServiceNow, and more.
