About Bronto is a cloud observability platform for collecting, searching, and analyzing application telemetry. It brings logs, metrics, and distributed traces into a managed service, where engineering and operations teams can filter data with SQL, inspect live log streams, correlate logs with traces, and build dashboards and monitors. The platform supports OpenTelemetry-based ingestion and integrations with cloud services, application runtimes, data pipelines, and alerting tools. Users can retain and query telemetry, investigate incidents, track service-level objectives, and generate AI-assisted reports from alerts. Bronto also provides API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) access for programmatic workflows and AI clients. It is intended for software developers, DevOps/SRE and platform engineering teams, and organizations that need centralized observability across applications, infrastructure, and AI workloads.

		Pros from Real Users Pros - Excellent support. - Love all the documentation that exists. makes it so much better than closed source products that we migrated away from. - We've had the best experience with both the people that got us stood up and the continued support. Our account manager is a complete rockstar. Chris Harbro is probably the most technical account manager I've dealt with and his tenacity for finding solutions to our issues is impressive. Our onboarding sales engineer Ian Bloom was like that as well. - AI features. This is what hooked us. AI is changing so quickly so who knows what this'll look like when someone reads this: I started using grafana MCP with grafana at first so when I started using the AI assistant in the cloud it was amazing, MCP alone is great but there's still a disconnect between the operator and the harness on what each other is looking at. with the AI assistant if works more more symbiotically. I will admit that now with claude chrome extension though it's pretty close. Grafana is a trusted tool for a reason, and as such I've used it every company I have worked for. The tool makes creating new dashboards a breeze. And with their new AI tool, you can update and create dashboards with confidence. When our network dashboard broke due to a plugin deprecating, the AI tool was able to recommend a new plugin, build the dashboard, and configure it based on SNMP logs it read from our central log store. It even recommended things to configure alerts on and added more metrics for us to track.
