Cloud-native infrastructure and application monitoring
Chronosphere offers a platform that helps businesses monitor their cloud-native infrastructure and applications by quickly identifying and resolving issues before they affect customers. The platform filters out unnecessary data, allowing users to focus on critical information, which is especially useful for companies still using outdated monitoring tools. Unlike its competitors, Chronosphere emphasizes reducing observability costs, which can be a major expense for engineering teams, and helps decrease on-call alerts by up to 90%. The company's goal is to improve business efficiency and productivity while providing a strong return on investment.
