Company information
The facts on file
- Description
- Middleware is a full-stack cloud observability platform that consolidates metrics, logs and traces into a single unified timeline for developers and DevOps teams, with APM, infrastructure, synthetic and LLM monitoring. It is marketed primarily as a per-GB, cost-driven alternative to host-based tools like Datadog and New Relic, and its G2 reviewer base skews to small businesses and DevOps-heavy teams in IT services and software. Its headline AI remediation feature (OpsAI), on-premise deployment and long retention sit behind a 'Contact Us' Enterprise tier.
