Honeycomb Named a Leader in 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for APM & Observability

Honeycomb

Honeycomb, a leading observability platform used by high-performing engineering teams to investigate the behavior of cloud applications, announced that Gartner named it as a Leader for the second consecutive year in the Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring and Observability. This year’s report evaluates 19 Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and observability vendors against specific criteria, including product or services, marketing strategy, market understanding, and sales strategy.

“Honeycomb has worked hard to earn our right to be the authoritative voice on observability at the overcrowded traditional APM table,” said Christine Yen, CEO of Honeycomb. “Many of these APM incumbents have hopped on the observability bandwagon by rebranding their decade-old architectures. However, it only takes a few unpredictable overage bills or novel, impossible-to-debug software issues for engineering teams to understand why effective observability is a strategic imperative for success.”

Honeycomb’s observability platform was born in the cloud and architected to anticipate the challenges associated with complex and distributed cloud systems, e.g., an unprecedented volume of telemetry data, unpredictability, and stringent end-user expectations for high-performing applications. These challenges are compounded by the pressure on engineering teams to deliver more value in less time and with fewer resources. This is why Honeycomb is deeply committed to delivering new and innovative features that set the standard for observability.

Over the past year, Honeycomb delivered significant enhancements to its machine-assisted tool BubbleUpwhich enables users to use pattern detection on more parts of Honeycomb beyond heatmaps for faster and more intuitive debugging workflow. Additionally, Honeycomb launched its new Service Map, providing users with a dynamic and interactive view of their system to better understand service dependencies in highly complex environments. Adding to the momentum earlier this year, Honeycomb was the first observability platform to launch fully executing Natural Language Querying using generative AI for its new capability, Query Assistant. This development dramatically scales the platform’s query power and makes observability more usable for all engineering levels.
