In their own words

emma Governance

emma Governance embeds policy controls and audit trails into cloud, Kubernetes and on-premises operations. A project can specify permitted clouds, regions and environments, then attach policies, budgets and security rules. Checks can run during interface provisioning, API calls, infrastructure-as-code work and CI/CD, with non-compliant deployments blocked. The governance model spans cloud accounts, Kubernetes clusters and namespaces, private clouds and on-premises systems. Projects can restrict residency to selected countries, regions or providers, with requirements enforced during deployment. Roles include operator, owner and auditor, and high-risk actions can be reserved for chosen people or groups. Logs capture who made a deployment or change, where and when; evidence can be exported by project, business unit or jurisdiction. Listed integrations include API, Terraform, Backstage, Jenkins and GitLab. The maker says its platform is in line with GDPR, uses anonymous tokens and AES-256-XTS encryption, and undergoes penetration tests and network audits; it also states its processes are certified under ISO 27001, SOC and HIPAA. The product offers a trial account without a stated duration. Pricing is available by custom quote.

ServiceNow Event Management

ServiceNow Event Management collects operational events from multiple sources, analyzes their causes, and turns them into alerts that teams can group and act on to maintain system health. It is available with IT Operations Management and runs through web and API platforms. Events can arrive directly or through a MID Server, SNMP trap, or email using push or pull integrations. Listed connectors include Datadog, Dynatrace, Azure Monitor, SolarWinds, Kafka, Zabbix, Nagios, and IBM Netcool. Event correlation supports deduplication, enrichment, routing, and suppression, and users can preview rule changes before production deployment. Generative AI extracts alert details, simplifies technical language, and presents a probable root cause. Mapping events to the CMDB shows service impact and services at risk. Alerts can trigger workflows such as service restarts or escalation. Pricing is paid and available on request.
