Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool's most valuable feature is real-time monitoring. It helps in securing the application or the node by allowing us to monitor and manage resource consumption during peak times. For instance, from 10 AM to 2 PM, we may experience high memory utilization. It helps us to solve these issues.""The most valuable feature of Grafana Enterprise Stack is the dashboards.""The most valuable features of Grafana for data visualization are its ability to create intuitive dashboards and its wide range of visualization options like graphs, charts, and tables."

"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place.""The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner.""Dashboard provides monitor of total assets.""The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is the ability to check the availability of the server for network connectivity. Additionally, the interface is good.""Provides timely notifications.""I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them.""The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system.""The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down."

Cons
"The solution should include integration with Power BI.""I have encountered occasional issues with false inputs or incorrect data in Grafana.""The tool needs to show only fewer updates."

More Grafana Enterprise Stack Cons →

"Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do.""It is a bit slow due to latency.""I would like to see more training videos.""The initial setup process could be easier.""The tool needs to improve the integrations.""I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network.""We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier.""There is room for improvement in the graphics."
