What is StackState?

StackState is an observability solution that helps enterprises decrease downtime and prevent outages by breaking down the silos between existing monitoring tools and tracking changes in dependencies, relationships, and configuration over time. The system relates these changes to incidents, understanding the precise change that is the root cause of an issue. The vendor states StackState clients realize decreases in mean-time-to-repair (MTTR), fewer outages, and lower costs associated with incidents.

StackState - Offers higher transparency and faster root cause analysis in complicated environments

Verified User
Project Manager in Information Technology (10,001+ employees employees)

Pros

  • Integration with standard tools from the Stackpack.
  • Ability to see machine status on timeline.
  • Integration with Slack and Netcool.
  • Merging data from all agents on StackState server.

Cons

  • Although license is based on number of hosts, licenses needs to be renewed every year or the StackState server cannot be used. A single license model does not serve all client requirements.
  • Custom development could be time consuming.
  • The original view with all the hosts on single view is quite useless. We got value only from smaller views.

Return on Investment

  • Increased visibility of all resources in cloud to 100%.
  • Deviated stages are able to detect problems before their occurrence. However, [it] needs tunings for false alarms.
