Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"It is easy to change and move virtual servers."
"There are multiple kinds of models there to create dashboards, which is quite useful."
"It is a stable solution."
"Visualisation: It is easy to create beautiful, understanding graphs, snapshots to share the graphs with people who do not have access to Grafana, and templating to create powerful graphs."
"The best thing about Grafana is the visualization. The colors and the ease of use make it very user-friendly."
"It gives us the visibility we need. I like that when we add deployment markers or release markers, we know exactly when an issue arises. For instance, if there is an increased usage of CPU, we can link it directly to the deployment that might have caused the issue. It increases productivity and observability. We can now easily tell when a certain issue arises. It's way easier to debug because it can point you to certain things based on these markers, and we can debug easier."
"Grafana has improved our analysis capability to solve an issue, increasing the co-working between IT services and business services."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"The product's configuration for saving files could be improved."
"Grafana doesn't provide anything for reporting."
"The look and feel of the charting and graph capabilities in Grafana could improve. If they provided a storyboard type of feature as they have in other solutions, such as PowerBI. The multi-tenanted and stitch metrics features could improve."
"I had issues with the solution's configuration part."
"I have a problem with Grafana in the area of documentation."
"Multiple dashboards combined into one dashboard has slowed things down for us."
"I find issues with Grafana. For example, I am unable to open some services there. Then, we have to open ten different tabs to get it fixed. And it's annoying when there's something going on; we want to check Grafana, and it throws four different errors."
"Lacks event management which affects our DevOps people."
