Chronosphere is a company that helps you walk through the complexity of Observability
What do you like best about the product?
Coming from a system with no metrics aggregation, Chronosphere was a breath of fresh air using the Prometheus model to scrape metrics, instantly providing aggregation of metrics and cost savings. The Chronosphere team was and continues to provide excellent support to help with migration and optimize our configuration to maximize utilization and reduce cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a couple of components to cost. Data processing and data persistence. The impact of data processing cost was not realized during the POC with Chronosphere; however, the excellent support provided by Chronosphere helped us mitigate this issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As our company scales, our legacy metrics system could not handle the load without aggregation. Chronosphere uses an industry-standard model(Prometheus) with aggregating metrics built in and storing metrics as time series. This makes querying the data faster compared with our legacy system and also saves us money due to the reduction of the total number of data points that persisted
