Customer testimonials

How customers use ARMS:

AIA

We use ARMS for top-down, business-value-based observability. The ARMS agent and Prometheus exporter collect trace, performance, and container data. Managed Service for Prometheus and Simple Log Service (SLS) handle storage, enabling full-lifecycle observability from development to production.
New Carzone

We adopted Application Monitoring, Managed Service for Prometheus, Managed Service for Grafana, and Alert Management. By integrating Prometheus with Alert Management via DingTalk-based ChatOps and its on-call association feature, we implemented alert collaboration in DingTalk and resolved alert delivery issues.
