StackState

StackState has proven to be a valuable tool for users in various industries, allowing them to address performance issues within their SaaS applications in a cloud-native AWS/EKS environment. By providing better insights into network and services, StackState enables users to visualize the real network and compare it to the designed network, helping them identify and resolve any discrepancies. The product also offers the ability to auto-discover and consolidate different IT landscapes into one comprehensive overview, breaking down monitoring silos and streamlining the monitoring process.

One of the key benefits of StackState is its topology-powered observability, which allows users to quickly pinpoint the root cause of issues across the entire system-wide area. This feature has been highly praised by users who have found it instrumental in improving application performance monitoring, chain insights, and cloud infrastructure monitoring. StackState's intuitive interface facilitates faster root-cause analysis by providing a holistic overview of infrastructure, applications, and services. Users have expressed their satisfaction with the product's ability to integrate all services, even those not sent to a central data lake like Splunk, thereby solving the problem of scattered monitoring data.

StackState further enhances visibility of IT landscapes by connecting different systems and subsystems in one view, reducing the need for extensive root cause analysis. This improved visibility leads to better availability, reduced mean time to repair, and an enhanced customer experience. Users have highlighted StackState's smart root cause analysis capabilities which correlate and enrich a large percentage of incidents while creating parent-child relationships. By aggregating monitoring data from various tools into one platform, StackState provides users with better insight and overview of key business processes.

Feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive regarding StackState's capabilities and potential to achieve operational goals such as faster root cause analysis and better visibility over on-premises and AWS resources. As a result, many organizations are planning to roll out StackState to all DevOps teams in order to effectively manage their IT stack and allow teams to focus more on development. The Cloud Services department, for instance, has embraced StackState to gain a single view of the customer's IT landscape, thereby improving cooperation between teams and facilitating root cause analysis. By combining the output of different monitoring tools and providing a near real-time state of the IT landscape, StackState offers users a comprehensive solution that effectively monitors and optimizes their systems.
