Honeycomb Named a Leader in 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Application Performance Monitoring and Observability

For the first time, Gartner recognizes observability as a category in the Magic Quadrant

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeycomb, a leading observability platform used by high-performance engineering teams to quickly visualize, analyze, and improve cloud application quality and performance, today announced that it was positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring and Observability[1]. The evaluation was based on specific criteria that analyzed the company's overall completeness of vision and ability to execute.

Honeycomb is a tool that is vastly different from traditional APM tools, as it helps teams quickly and concretely understand how code performs and behaves in the hands of real users—in aggregate and down to the individual user level, a necessity in today's complex cloud environments. With the ability to sift through billions of rows of complete telemetry data grouped by any arbitrary number of dimensions, Honeycomb enables faster debugging, higher uptime, better performing services, more time for innovation, and ultimately, happier developers and end users.

"Time and time again, prospects and customers come through our door because their current APM tool can't deliver the answers they need about what's happening in their system," said Christine Yen, co-founder and CEO of Honeycomb. "Traditional APM tools were built during the age of the monolith and simply don't have the data fidelity to reveal deeper unpredictable patterns in today's cloud-native systems. This is why we're proud to be a leader in this year's APM and Observability Magic Quadrant. Tools like Honeycomb provide a fundamentally different way of understanding the state of your system, as teams can get the answers they need when they need them."
