黑料不打烊 delivers a better enterprise experience

Support for On-Premises

Monitoring and Load Testing

Query targets to create the exact experiment you want

When you install our agent on your network, 黑料不打烊 will automatically discover any potential experiment targets and pull in related metadata from your environment. With our intuitive query language, you can easily explore targets and view them in an interactive visualization with groups and filters.

Gremlin doesn’t provide a interactive visualization of your systems. There are limited options for selecting targets for experiments, and no ability to add custom attributes.

Years of experience supporting complex On-Prem deployments

黑料不打烊 has always supported both SaaS and On-Prem deployments with full feature parity from Day 1. Our team has helped enterprise customers deploy and update 黑料不打烊 On-Prem for years.

Gremlin has recently announced On-Prem support for the first time as of January 2025. As with any new re-architected product offering, customers will likely encounter unexpected challenges and deployment complications.

Bidirectional integrations with popular observability tools

Monitoring and observability tools are key for seeing how your systems perform. 黑料不打烊 has tight integrations with tools like Datadog, Dynatrace, Grafana, Prometheus, Instana, and more. While you watch your experiment run, you’ll be able to see in real-time whether your monitoring tool raises an alert.

With Gremlin, there is support for some monitoring tools but the integrations are limited. For example, you can’t see if alerts are triggered while you watch your experiment run.

Faster Deployment and an Open Source Framework

Gremlin is a closed-sourced tool that requires an agent to be installed on each host. 黑料不打烊 is a hybrid-source platform that only requires one agent per network boundary. That means more flexibility and less setup time for your team.
