Epsagon is a monitoring and observability platform that helps users troubleshoot microservices easily. The tool accelerates the development process by providing real-time data across serverless applications, enabling users to detect and fix problems quickly. Users can set alerts based on metrics and application traces, as well as integrate with most alert systems or even Slack.
Many users attest to Epsagon's effectiveness in cutting through chaff and narrowing down the information needed, providing complete tracing, logging, and monitoring solutions for serverless applications. With Epsagon, users can find lambda invocation out of millions of invocations and quickly find issues and logs, saving a lot of time. Additionally, the platform provides live traces for real-time data across serverless applications which allows users to pinpoint third-party API issues easily. By improving MTTI and MTTR from hours to minutes, Epsagon detects and understands production issues and root causes easily; users are immediately notified of problems allowing them to trace issues to the source, providing visibility over a micro-services approach deployed using AWS Lambda.
User-friendly GUI: Reviewers consistently note that the GUI of Epsagon is user-friendly and easy to navigate. Many users appreciated how quickly they could diagnose issues or faults with their platform's infrastructure thanks to this feature.
Effective distributed tracing: Several reviewers praised Epsagon's effective distributed tracing, which provides a clear picture of how applications are interacting within microservices architecture. This feature has been very helpful in identifying bottlenecks and troubleshooting issues for many users.
Real-time monitoring and alerting: A number of reviewers have noted that Epsagon's real-time monitoring and alerting features have saved them significant amounts of time whenever issues arise. The ability to recover faster before systems get into a really bad shape has been particularly valuable for these users.
Confusing UI: Some users have found the UI of Epsagon confusing and difficult to navigate (multiple reviewers). They reported difficulty in finding specific lambdas or invocations. Additionally, the search tab can be slow and disrupts when multiple tags are typed to search.
Alerting system issues: A few users have reported issues with the alerting system (multiple reviewers), such as the lack of an alerts API, receiving double alerts for the same issue, or difficulty suppressing irrelevant alerts. Users mentioned that the alerting feature needs better aggregation.
High cost for tracing: Some users have complained about the high cost of tracing (multiple reviewers) stating that it is too high for small teams or they run out of traces every month. These users feel that there should be a more economical pricing plan available for smaller businesses.
Users highly recommend using Epsagon for infrastructure monitoring, alerting, and tracing. They appreciate that the company is constantly working on enhancing all the features, including improving the alerting and dashboards. Users find Epsagon easy to set up and consider it a valuable tool for managing and analyzing workflows in serverless apps and containers. Its out-of-the-box functionality simplifies the maintenance of distributed systems. Overall, users recommend Epsagon for anyone seeking efficient tools for maintaining their distributed system effectively.
