Make the interface intuitive and user-friendly. Highlight features clearly on the interface so that users can easily find and access them. I'd rate the solution four out of ten.
If you want to use Grafana for the first time, I'd say you can. It's cost-effective compared to other products like Datadog. But if cost isn't an issue, I'd recommend Datadog. For beginners, learning to use Grafana is moderately difficult. I rate it a seven out of ten.

We haven't worked or dived deep into the documentation and tutorial. I will recommend the product to users willing to take the time and patience to set up and learn Grafana in-depth. There are a lot of tools that we can use to build excellent integrations and get the most out of them with little knowledge. However, to leverage the value of Grafana and Prometheus, we must learn the tools in depth. It will save us time, and we can get much value if we invest time and effort. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
I would suggest Grafana to those who use Zabbix because it helps users get a lot of information on networks and resolve a lot of problems. I could do everything in Grafana with the help of graphs and documentation and get information on different types of devices. I rate the overall tool an eight to nine out of ten.
It is recommended for use, and in parallel, WebEx is another open-source tool. Both are straightforward to deploy on a Linux server. The process is simple and similar to each other, and there's no need for any complex procedures. Deploying these monitoring tools on a Linux server is hassle-free. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

To those planning to use the solution, I would say that they need to add the system administrator to use and install Grafana as a monitoring tool to check servers and platforms. It's a good solution to monitor all the platforms. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.
It's very good to start with the open source and very seamless. You can directly connect your data sources to the solution. You won't have to worry about managing the Grafana UI because Grafana comprises two things, namely, the data source where you are connecting and the dashboard. Getting started with Grafana Cloud is good because it's very seamless, good, and helpful. If you want to scale and use Grafana as an observability tool, I would say you have to think twice before choosing it because there are a lot of gaps, especially on the APM side of its application and performance monitoring side. The infrastructure gets complex as it scales. For a small use case, for independent use cases, or for building simple dashboards, I recommend Grafana. With Grafana's open-source, you download a package, put it in your server, and run it. I've used Grafana Cloud as well. For Grafana open-source, the login is limited to two or three people. More people cannot log in, and you can create multiple users. You can create around five to six dashboards and use 10 to 12 plugins. If you have just one or two use cases to be used, like if you have order delivery and you are looking for a tool, Grafana is a great one because the integration is pretty simple. Overall, I rate Grafana a nine out of ten.

Grafana's usability depends on your perspective and function. In my current job, Grafan helps us with serverless solutions. However, Grafana cannot be helpful in monitoring, networking, and interfacing for routers. My advice to new users of Grafana is to have nice documentation and a good knowledge base before performing tasks like installation or configuration. Overall, I rate Grafana an eight out of ten.

We're a customer and end-user. We are likely using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure of the version number. I'd rate the solution six out of ten. So far, I can't say it's doing more than our older monitoring was doing.

I will be able to comment on whether Grafana is useful for you or not, depending on various factors. For instance, I would like to know the scale of your company, the products you are making, the scale of production, and whether you are a product-based or service-based company. Additionally, I would like to know what other features you require from your monitoring system. If Grafana meets your criteria, I suggest using it because it is either free or comes at a cost. The free version of Grafana is usually sufficient for most users. Overall, I would rate Grafana an eight out of ten.
I give the solution an eight out of ten. We use Grafana with a Kubernetes filter and it works well. I am not sure how the solution will work on its own.

I was involved in the Broadcom DX APM. I did some POCs and created the dashboard. There is a feature called DX Dashboards there. It was used in the Lucene queries, and the dashboards are very innovative, and users like it a lot based on the dashboards. We're using the solution that's the latest version. If a potential customer is already into any other dashboard view, I would advise them to create one free license and create dashboards and observe how it looks compared to their existing dashboard. That way, they'd be able to compare and see which would be better for them. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The solution is a visualization tool that is pretty easy to use. Writing queries can be difficult so it is important to learn how to integrate with data sources before you write queries to visualize those metrics. I rate the solution a six out of ten.
I give the solution an eight out of ten. There are 40 people using the solution in our organization and it requires three people to maintain it. I would recommend you try to use as many tools as you can. You can have an ecosystem that is quiet and works like using Temple, Prometheus, and so on.
I recommend this solution but for someone who doesn't have experience with Grafana, it may take a while to understand because it presents everything with a graphical representation and you need to figure out why there are multiple dashboards. I rate this solution eight out of 10.

I rate this solution a six out of ten. Nevertheless, we recommend using this solution and advise others to go through the tutorial videos before using it. The solution is good but it could be improved by including features that provide more detailed error messages as well as additional plugin options for the dashboard.

Grafana is an open-source visualization and analytics platform that stands out in the field of monitoring solutions. Grafana is widely recognized for its powerful, easy-to-set-up dashboards and visualizations. Grafana supports integration with a wide array of data sources and tools, including Prometheus, InfluxDB, MySQL, Splunk, and Elasticsearch, enhancing its versatility. Grafana has open-source and cloud options; the open-source version is a good choice for organizations with the...
