Grafana Reviews

We use the solution to monitor business applications. It helps us analyze the technical and business metrics. We can find out the reason behind the delays in business processes using it.

They should improve the functioning of the editing tool in the solution's older version.

We have been using the solution since 2018.

I rate the solution's stability as an eight.

It is a scalable solution, but we use it only for one instance. We have over twenty solution users, including support engineers, developers, and system administrators.

The solution's customer service team has several support engineers to address the queries.

The solution's initial setup was straightforward. We have hosted it on Kubernetes installation.

Our team of three DevOps engineers executes the deployment process of the solution.

You need to purchase the solution's license for its commercial use.

It is a powerful solution. I rate it as a nine.

I'm a DevOps Kubernetes consultant and we are customers of Grafana.

Grafana is great when it comes to capacity planning and the solution has a great GUI. It's a very rich product. 

Perhaps the display of the trigger limits should be more efficient because it's difficult to see that in a graph. We also have an issue with flapping where values move up and down and knowing how to deal with that is quite complicated in Grafana.

I've been using this solution for one year. 

The solution is very stable. 

It's easy to scale this solution. 

Customer support is quite efficient. 

Positive

I previously worked for Zabbix. The main difference is in the performance and I prefer Grafana.

The initial setup is relatively simple but it can take a couple of weeks to get a grip on the GUI. We did the set up in-house, using documentation and a couple of training calls. Deployment took about a week. We have five users of Grafana in the company. 

This is a good solution and I recommend it but it's important to have good training and to use the latest version. I rate this solution eight out of 10.
