    Easy to set up in all environments. With this tool, the company is now able to measure both well-functioning data and data that needs immediate intervention. This early detection facilitates decisions about actions to correct the disorder and improve indexes. Stackdriver is now essential for the company's security and monitoring team and we plan to expand to other branches.

    It is also a great problem detection tool, and this is extremely important for General Motors.
    The user can count on the ease of flexible panels and advanced visualization tools that help to identify problems. Among the most common, we can mention:
    - containment of hosts;
    - cloud provider limitation;
    - hardware wear.
    And also Stackdriver Integration with other Google Cloud data tools such as BigQuery, Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage and Cloud Database.
