## Reviews

### "Pretty impressive when using with kubeflow" — 5.0/5

> **Pushpak** | *16 October 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked the most about groundcover is how easily it integrates with Kubeflow for monitoring data pipelines. The real-time log tracking and observability features are a big plus, especially when dealing with complex workflows. It simplifies tracking down issues by giving clear insights into what’s happening at each stage of the pipeline. The interface is intuitive, which made it easier for me, even as an intern, to get the hang of it quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: One downside I noticed is that the tool can be a bit resource-intensive, especially when running multiple simultaneous jobs. &#10;It could slow things down if the infrastructure isn't strong enough, which is something to keep in mind. I personally haven't faced such an issue but have heard from my fellow-mates
> 
> Overall, groundcover has been a solid choice for keeping track of our data pipelines and logs in Kubeflow. As someone still in the learning phase, it’s been really helpful in making complex processes easier to monitor. The only thing is that the dashboard can get complicated at times due to so many logs being tracked. But, the search functionality gives clear indications. So, it's all set for me

### "All good but 1 flaw" — 5.0/5

> **Nishant** | *30 November 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Logging and availability of all important debugging tools
> 
> **Cons**: Log size is limited to a certain length, an option could be given to view large logs on a separate page if required.

-----

### "Great product" — 4.0/5

> **Ben** | *24 January 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Makes work much easier. For example, finding logs.
> 
> **Cons**: Takes some time getting used to it but after a while its fine.

### "fine tool, will be even greater while improving" — 5.0/5

> **Raman** | *10 October 2024* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: all I need in one place: metrics, logs, traces etc.
> 
> **Cons**: history limited to 2 days&#10;not many protocol supported

-----

### "Groundcover is one of the kind" — 5.0/5

> **Arman** | *15 January 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We liked the idea of hosting data in our cloud account and at the same time having the ability to use the service as SaaS. We also liked the ability to have fully managed observability service as such a low cost.
> 
> **Cons**: groundcover services are still maturing. We had to request couple of features that do not exist yet.
