We Did it Again: We’re a Leader in 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for APM & Observability for the Second Year in a Row

In the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant Report for APM and Observability, observability was highlighted for the first time, and Honeycomb was recognized as a leader for its innovative approach to this field. Unlike traditional APM tools, which focus primarily on monitoring known metrics, true observability tools are designed to handle the complexities of modern cloud systems by providing high cardinality, high dimensionality, and exploratory analytics-driven workflows. Honeycomb distinguishes itself by meeting Gartner's stringent criteria for observability, which include predictive capabilities, access to raw telemetry data, and tools for in-depth exploration. Over the past year, Honeycomb has made significant improvements with features like BubbleUp, a Service Map, and the AI-powered Query Assistant, aiming to enhance collaborative understanding of distributed systems. As engineers increasingly rely on generative AI, the importance of understanding software behavior and user experience grows, and Honeycomb remains committed to supporting this need, focusing on technologies like Kubernetes and eBPF.
