Prometheus Reviews

We use Prometheus to monitor logs for microservices.

The product has an easy-to-understand interface.

They could provide efficient logs in terms of clarity and ease of access similar to Datadog’s paid version. Additionally, they should release real-time updates and a graphical interface for logs.

I used it three months ago.

We have five Prometheus users in our organization.

The initial setup is easy.

The product is expensive compared to Datadog.

The platform’s alerting functionality improves incident response time. It offers an open-source toolkit for startups and new students. While its free version offers efficient capabilities, opting for paid features can unlock additional functionalities, particularly beneficial for larger enterprises with heightened security needs and extensive service requirements. The decision to invest in Prometheus is influenced by factors such as data volume, security considerations, and the need for seamless error detection and notification mechanisms.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

We use the solution to collect monitoring data.

The product’s scalability is valuable.

The product must improve its documentation.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The tool is stable.

More than ten people were using the solution in my organization.

The solution is deployed both on AWS and Azure. The deployment is easy. There are multiple ways to do it.

The product is free.

I would recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case for this solution is collecting, monitoring and analyzing logs in the cloud environment. We use this solution in an Azure environment and Cloud space.

The dashboard is very valuable because it provides the ability to collect and compare logs from various resources.

The setup process could be more straightforward and user-friendly.

We have been using this solution for six months.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

I rate this solution a seven out of ten. The solution is good but can be improved by creating a more straightforward setup process. I advise people considering this solution to spend some time reading the documentation to ensure they understand the type of features available.

We mainly use it for server monitoring and exposing the metrics format.

I like its lightweight configuration functions.

There are multiple solutions that we use alongside Prometheus while working. These include AM Solutions and Grafana. These are different systems that are logged into and have different technologies and spaces. However, it is difficult to navigate through them at times, so a single dashboard will be something that will be appreciated.

Moreover, there isn’t much clarity regarding the issues that happen at the server end. It is a push model and from the client’s point of view, it needs to look better and solve remote issues.

I have been using Prometheus for more than an year.

The stability is alright and I don’t see any issues. I will give it a seven out of ten as there are some remote issues.

We have a technical department and an internal platform team who contact them on our behalf.

Comparing AppDynamics with Prometheus, AppDynamics has a full suite of solutions, whereas Prometheus is mainly used for monitoring purposes.

We have the solution deployed by a Grafana vendor who made it a cloud version.

It is a good solution overall, so I can rate it a seven out of ten.  

Prometheus can be deployed on-premise and in the cloud.

Prometheus is an open-source network monitoring solution.

Prometheus is very flexible. We use it for network monitoring and we can always add new servers, equipment, or whatever that we want to monitor with it.

I have been using Prometheus for approximately two years.

Prometheus is stable.

The scalability of Prometheus is very good.

We have the solution rolled out across multiple small businesses. We have hundreds of users collectively using the solutions.

I have not used the technical support from Prometheus.

Prometheus has a learning curve when setting it up. It definitely requires a little bit more hands-on than other solutions. It is an open source solution which means you do need to go through and read the literature that they have online for setting it up. The setup could be made easier.

I am the one who manages Prometheus and does the maintenance.

Prometheus is free. We use the solution for monitoring and it has worked well.

The price of Prometheus is good, it is affordable because it is open source and there is no cost to it. You put it on your own server and the costs incurred completely depend on how you set it up.

Prometheus can directly compete against other solutions, such as Zabbix or any other network monitoring solution.

My advice to others is to read all the documentation before usage.

I rate Prometheus an eight out of ten.

I rated it an eight because it is easy to use but the installation can be difficult.

I use Prometheus to monitor Kubernetes clusters.

The most valuable features of the solution are metrics scraping capabilities and the open source community and support.

Prometheus requires improvement on the query side. When I query the data from last year, it queries within its database. Sometimes, it just crashes it out. They need to improve this feature where the SQL queries take much time and sometimes crash the whole Prometheus cluster.

I have been using Prometheus for one year.

The solution's initial setup is easy and fast.

Prometheus is an open-source solution.

We chose Prometheus because it was easy to install and has wide communities to support us. The solution's alerting functionality has improved our incident response time. We have integrated the alert manager with PagerDuty, which has greatly helped us improve the functionality. Prometheus is an easy-to-use solution, and I would recommend it to other users.

It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Prometheus for the first time. You can integrate it and start using it.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use Prometheus to gather business and service metrics so that we can export and visualize them through other tools like Grafana.

The solution helps us to scale our products and services, and it helps me by gathering those metrics. 

The DSL could be improved. 

I have been using the solution for three to four years. 

The product is stable. 

The solution is scalable; our engineering team of 80 staff members uses it, and three staff are responsible for maintenance. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

We didn't evaluate other options. We went straight for Prometheus.

I would rate this solution eight out of ten. 

We use the solution to record and store the metrics data.

The solution's most valuable feature is counter.  

They should improve the solution's stability and make it even more stable.

We have been using the solution for a few years.

I rate the solution's stability as a nine.

It is a scalable solution.

We follow online support forums in case of any technical issues with the solution.

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

Our team of DevOps engineers deploys the solution. Also, we take help from cloud service providers while deploying it for educational projects.

The solution is free of cost.

It is an efficient solution. It ensures accurate metric data even in the case of system downtime. Also, support engineers find it easier to understand. 

I rate the solution as a nine.
