Grafana Cloud is the open observability cloud, built on open source, open standards, and open ecosystems.

Native OTel support and 100s of integrations mean you can plug in existing tools & data sources.		About StackPulse automates and orchestrates incident response and management, enabling a continuous approach to software services reliability. The StackPulse platform gives SREs, developers and on-callers the context and control necessary to analyze, respond to, and resolve incidents across the entire stack, at any scale. StackPulse transforms how engineering and operations teams operate software and infrastructure services. Our Platform makes it easy to get started collaborating with a suite of incident management tools, from automated war room creation, to data capture and auto-generated postmortems. The data captured during these incidents then generates recommendations for playbooks and triggers that result in significant reductions in MTTR or improvements in SLO adherence. StackPulse identifies risk based on specific patterns of your organization’s unique monitoring, infrastructure, and operational data, and then recommends automated playbooks tailored to your organization.

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.
