Observability tools like Honeycomb are built for engineers, not PM teams… but that doesn’t mean there’s no benefit to having your PMs in Honeycomb. Whether it’s debugging a weird customer issue or tracking how a feature is used in the wild, observability gives PMs something traditional product tools can’t: real-time answers with full context, down to a single user.

‍Situation: The Overwhelming Reality of Modern IT (Security) Data In today’s enterprise environments, IT and security teams face a relentless flood of telemetry data from diverse sources—syslog servers, cloud platforms like AWS CloudTrail, network devices, applications, and security tools such as firewalls and Windows Events.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance is about more than firewalls and passwords. Your file-sharing solutions could be the weakest link in protecting sensitive patient data. When we think about healthcare cybersecurity, we tend to focus on large systems: electronic health records, databases, and billing platforms. But one everyday workflow that’s also as vulnerable – and often overlooked – is file transfer.

If you’re a network admin reading this, you already know the feeling. You’ve probably lost track of how many hours you spend doing the same repetitive tasks week after week, month after month. Backing up configs manually. Rolling back failed changes at 2 AM. Hunting down that one switch that somehow lost its configuration. Compiling compliance reports that should take minutes but somehow eat up your entire afternoon. Yet all those “quick” tasks add up.

Downtime costs businesses an average of $5,600 per minute according to Gartner research. For many organizations, even a few hours of unplanned outages can mean lost revenue, damaged reputation, and frustrated customers. The good news? You can reduce downtime by up to 90% by implementing the right proactive monitoring strategies.

When assessing SaaS observability solutions, customers often explore features that are built into the platform, but there ia a whole collection of deployable libraries across all SaaS vendors. In Coralogix, we lead the way in deployable assets, with 4400+ alerts, dashboards, parsing rules, metric generation rules and more. But why should you care about these deployable assets, and why do they accelerate insight generation so profoundly?

Most conversations about buy vs build turn into budget debates. But engineers know that the deeper question is: what exactly are we signing up to run, and who is going to run it? The operating model you choose: is what defines what layers of the stack you own, what skills your team needs, and how you spend your nights on-call. This article reframes the decision around the work itself, not just the invoice.

An effective dashboard should highlight the right metrics and offer real-time, actionable insights. With Infraon’s advanced tools, businesses can create powerful monitoring dashboards that simplify complex data and support better decisions.

Each industry has standards and regulatory compliance concerns. The health care industry arguably has the most well-known, thanks to the Health Insurance and Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its efforts to keep electronic protected health information (ePHI) safe. HIPAA compliance is essential for organizations that store, maintain or transmit ePHI and staying on top of HIPAA regulations can be challenging.
