Stackdriver is really a very good tool for errors and reporting. It provides the application issues especially the exception errors and sends the alerts. It's available for multiple languages like Python, GO and Java, etc. The best part is all the application errors are available at a single place and it comes with the GAE application. It's slow if you want to search very old logs and need to wait couple of hrs sometimes.

From my point of view, when we are working with a medium package project, this Micro Focus AppPulse Suite is very useful and effective at finding problems in our activities and codes and isolating them. But when we are working on large-size projects or backend performances, it works slowly to detect issues.

Support Rating
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.

Alternatives Considered
Honestly, because it is from Google, we also mainly chose this product on the recommendation of other friends and businesses, and because of its reliability, security and ease of access. It also has excellent technical support and warranty. The staff is fast and super efficient and always helps us when we need help.
