Monitoring should give clarity, not more confusion.
Why Monitoring Falls Short
Monitoring should give clarity, not more confusion.
Too many alerts
Endless noise hides the real problems and burns out the team.
Lack of coverage
Missing metrics or logs mean key systems go unmonitored.
Disconnected tools
Logs, metrics, and tracing live in separate silos with no context.
Slow incident response
Without clarity, every outage takes longer to diagnose and resolve.
Our Take
Monitoring isn't just a tool, it's your eyes in production. We help you reduce noise, increase signal, and stitch your data together in ways that make sense. Whether you're using Datadog, Prometheus, or cloud-native tools, we help you actually see what's going on.
FAQs: Cloud Monitoring for SMBs
Too many thresholds, poor filtering, and lack of tuning lead to constant, low-value alerts.
Start with your critical paths, customer-facing services, and key infrastructure. Then fill in the gaps.
Metrics show trends, logs show events, and traces show flow. Together they give a full picture.
Consolidate where possible, but make sure you're not losing context or depth in the process.
It should be actionable, urgent, and tied to real user or system impact.
Open source gives flexibility but takes more effort. Paid platforms can be faster to value.
Alert rules should evolve with your stack. Regular tuning prevents alert fatigue.
Multi-cloud visibility requires stitching data together in one view. Tools like Datadog help bridge the gap.
Clear alerting, pre-built runbooks, and integrated logs and metrics make diagnosis faster.
Critical Cloud helps SMBs build observability that works, not just monitoring dashboards that look nice. We streamline alerting, improve context, and integrate your stack to give real-time visibility across environments.
