groundcover Listed as an Honorable Mention in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms, 2025

SAN FRANCISCO, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- groundcover, the eBPF-driven observability platform for modern architectures, today announced its honorable mention in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms for the first time. groundcover is the world's first "Bring Your Own Cloud" (BYOC) observability solution, redefining the architecture of a modern observability platform by enabling customers to host their observability data on-prem, while still being fully managed by groundcover.

"We're excited to be recognized as a promising disruptive solution by Gartner as we continue to be adopted by some of the largest enterprises in the world," said Shahar Azulay, CEO of groundcover. "We believe our platform offers better coverage and value than the legacy application monitoring solutions."

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms is a culmination of the Gartner research of the application performance monitoring (APM) and observability market. Gartner defines observability platforms as products used to understand the health, performance and behavior of applications, services and infrastructure. They do this by ingesting telemetry (operational data) from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, logs, metrics, events and traces. Observability platforms enable analysis of the ingested telemetry, either via human operator or machine intelligence, to determine changes in system behavior that impact end-user experience, such as outages or performance degradation. This allows early, and even preemptive, problem remediation. Observability platforms are used by IT operations, site reliability engineers, cloud and platform teams, application developers and product owners.

groundcover's unique Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) approach is the X-factor behind the company's rapid growth, maximizing the security and privacy needs of customers, while unlocking coverage tradeoffs with unlimited data and providing a full observability suite with a simple pricing model. groundcover also utilizes eBPF to collect observability data straight from the Linux kernel, providing engineers with super-granular visibility into their entire environment including traces, application-level metrics, infrastructure performance and application logs.

Today, groundcover has 60 employees, has grown over 500% in ARR since last year, and is investing heavily in big partnerships including AWS, GCP and others. Their modern observability platform is currently used by hundreds of enterprises, ranging from fast-growing technology companies to the Fortune 100.
