Great monitoring solution for companies that want to progress
What do you like best about the product?
Stackpacks and the ease of integration. Getting data in a monitoring system can be bothersome, but integration and basic interpretation out of the box make this very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can take a while for some features or fixes are available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gaining insight, relating causes to impact, having the same overview in a distributed organization. Making things visual by itself is already a great benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Modularity is nice, but setting stuff up usually takes a lot of time. Consider that.
StackState has the potential to become a substantial player in the IT monitoring scene
What do you like best about the product?
The StackState team listens to what their customers need and has fantastic customer support. There is a direct feedback cycle when things are missing or need to be improved.
What do you dislike about the product?
StackState is still a startup, and not all features StackState offers are always mature. Luckily StackState listens to its customers, and it is using the feedback to work on improving its product every day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows you to auto-discover numerous different but depending IT landscapes into one overview. StackState showed us how much we are monitoring in silos and is breaking this down.
Getting near realtime factual topology.
What do you like best about the product?
The simple fact we are able to visualize our IT landscape both horizontally and vertically.
What do you dislike about the product?
Implementation of Kubernetes to provide a responsive service when dealing with a lot of objects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides us with topology-powered observability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Draft your use cases on why you need a near real-time factual topology of your IT landscape. Do a POC and review your requirements. From a security perspective we got more insight then expected.
Great people are working in this company tu fulfill everything we need.

StackState: Observability made easy
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very nice and the integrations with existing services provide a big plus. It makes integrating easy and complete. StackState also has great support when things are missing or wrong in the current solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
We are big fans of self-service solutions, so we would prefer if our DevOps teams could add their application monitoring to StackState. However, we have found that this can be rather difficult due to the complexity of creating custom integrations for StackState. So now we use a lot of great integrations created by StackState and try to onboard monitoring on most of the underlying components, so our DevOps teams only need to add the final parts of their stack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mostly use StackState for monitoring our services. We would like to expand it to full-on observability and AIOps in the future but are not there yet. One of the big problems it solves for us is the scattered nature of monitoring data. Even though we have Splunk as a central data lake, not all data is sent there. This is mainly due to the volume of monitoring data some services generate. StackState and its StackPacks allow us to integrate all these services, making it the ideal monitoring platform.
StackState integrates different systems in one view and reduces the time for RCA
What do you like best about the product?
easy to integrate data from several different systems.
more than 31 integrations for different services out of the box
more than 31 integrations for different services out of the box
What do you dislike about the product?
Customized integration should be easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting different Systems/subsystems in one view and reducing the RCA
Great observatility tool that helps us reduce MTTR
What do you like best about the product?
The tool helps make our monitoring more mature meaning we can move from a reactive way of monitoring (react after the issue has happened) to a more proactive way (prevent the issue from happening).
Features that help us:
- Standardized visualization
- Great topology and telemetry functionality, each team has a dedicated view but is also looking at the same data and topology as other teams
- Easy to drill down to the root cause of issues
- Setup as a data platform so it integrates well with various data sources
- User-friendly with a low learning curve
- Good and quick support from the Stackstate team when we need it

What do you dislike about the product?
The tool is relatively young, meaning we have encountered teething issues. The supplier is aware and is very supportive of solving these. My company is also quite strict with its security settings, this sometimes leads to installation issues. Again, the stackstate team is very supportive of solving these.
Furthermore, the UI does not always handle long component names very well.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Stackstate helps us improve the visibility of our IT landscape. We use it to improve our availability, reduce our mean time to repair and improve our customer experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to make the next step in your monitoring landscape, and you have your component monitoring in place, this tool is worth a try. Contact Stackstate for a demo first and ask for a try-out period.
TV systems integration in a E2E view
What do you like best about the product?
Commitment and tenacity to achieve proposed goals
Very easy to integrate data from several distinct systems
Availability of their people to support the customer
Very easy to integrate data from several distinct systems
Availability of their people to support the customer
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to point to much at this stage, except that Stackstate had no expertise in TV Services wich cost us some time to get right information to deploy the views of the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We as a company need to have an E2E view of the TV service. Until this point, we were capable to track some flows end to end specialy in some solutions called black boxes and were we where blind
