groundcover review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
groundcover is our all-in-one observability platform, as we base everything on OTel it allows us to consolidate frontend, backend, cloud, infra & mobile telemetry in a single pane of glass. Without groundcover we would need to use multiple products for monitoring our overall infrastructure. We also looked for a product that enable us to store everything in our own infrastructure without shipping it to some external location, so this is also a compliance asset.
