"Grafana has improved our analysis capability to solve an issue, increasing the co-working between IT services and business services."

"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."

"They should improve the functioning of its editing tool."
"Trigger limits are difficult to see in a graph."
"Writing queries can be a bit difficult because the syntax must be maintained."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
