Case Study: CommonGround boosts R&D operations efficiency with groundcover

How CommonGround boosted R&D operations efficiency with groundcover by replacing bulky APM solutions

CommonGround, a communications company specializing in online collaboration, faced challenges with its previous APM solution, New Relic. The high hardware footprint was straining their Kubernetes clusters, and the difficult-to-use interface provided little valuable data for debugging. This inefficiency hampered their R&D operations, prompting the search for a new observability tool from groundcover.

The solution implemented was groundcover's observability platform, which offered a lightweight, eBPF-based alternative with a highly configurable interface. The deployment was quick and straightforward. The results were immediate, as the team could instantly detect previously unknown infrastructure failures across their multi-cloud environment. groundcover provided a clear view of root causes, saving significant investigation time and becoming the primary monitoring and log analytics tool for their entire R&D department.
