Chronosphere named an MQ Leader

For the second year in a row, Chronosphere is a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms. We’re excited, proud, and maybe a little fired up, because this recognition shows what happens when you build an observability platform that actually keeps up with modern infrastructure.

Most monitoring tools weren’t designed for containers and microservices, nor were they built to support AI/LLM workloads. They can’t keep up with the scale, complexity, and ephemeral nature of these environments. Chronosphere was purpose-built for today’s modern environments, and our customers are seeing the difference.

Customer success

One of our customers, a leading fintech platform, was able to achieve 99.994% uptime, cut observability costs by 70%, reduce projected logging spend by 52%, and save 14,000 hours in engineering time annually. These aren’t theoretical benchmarks. These are business-critical outcomes.

We’ve seen similar impact across our customer base: accelerated MTTR, tighter control over telemetry sprawl, and dramatically lower total cost of ownership.

Doubling down on innovation and impact

The 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms calls out Chronosphere’s strengths in cost optimization, high availability, and our ability to deliver value without requiring proprietary agent-based instrumentation. We’ve been building aggressively in each of those areas.

Key differentiators

The report also highlighted our Control Plane as a key differentiator. It gives customers policy-based control over what telemetry they collect, store, and query, so they can focus on the data that actually drives insight.

Last month, we launched Chronosphere’s new log management capabilities, which extend our Control Plane feature set to help customers regain control over one of the fastest growing sources of observability data. On average, teams are dealing with 250% year-over-year log growth. Our observability platform helps them quickly and easily identify the data that matters and reduce data accordingly – before logs become a budget problem.

And with the recent addition of Differential Diagnosis (DDx) for metrics, customers are getting faster, more reliable investigations with a single click—building on our trace, metrics, and correlation foundation.

Availability matters. Especially when you’re operating at scale. Chronosphere continues to deliver industry-leading reliability, giving engineering teams confidence that their observability platform won’t become the bottleneck. That’s why some of the most demanding teams in tech—including platforms that power food delivery in real time, financial services, and high-growth cloud-native applications—trust Chronosphere to keep their systems visible, performant, and resilient when it counts.

Strong Performer - 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™

Our latest recognition doesn’t stop with this year’s Magic Quadrant! We were also recently named a Strong Performer in the 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™ “Voice of the Customer” report for Observability Platforms. In the Voice of the Customer report, which is based on aggregated reviews from users and decision-makers, we were recognized as a Strong Performer, tying for the highest overall rating among all recognized vendors with a 4.7 out of 5 score, based on 70 total reviews as of December 27, 2024.

Onward!

We’re proud of what we’ve built, and even prouder of the outcomes our customers are achieving. Being named a Magic Quadrant Leader again by Gartner is a great moment. But we see it as just one checkpoint on a much bigger journey.

We’re continuing to push boundaries of what observability should be: clear, cost effective, and built to keep teams in control. We’re excited for what’s ahead, and we’re building toward another strong year in 2026.
