We performed a comparison between Grafana and Monte Carlo based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It integrates well with other solutions."
"The most valuable thing was that it had a good visualization tool."
"Grafana is able to connect with multiple data sources, unlike Elasticsearch."
"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."
"Grafana is a very scalable product. It's a really good product."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the UI dashboard because we need to create a dashboard on Grafana to monitor our data."
"The comparison feature is very good."
"Provides good dashboard visualization."
"It makes organizing work easier based on its relevance to specific projects and teams."
"There are some areas of network drives that are not showing as expected based on server usage."
"There is room for improvement when using multiple dashboards because they can become complicated to keep track of and use."
"Setting up alerts via Grafana is a bit complicated, and alerting needs to improve."
"The documentation or training provided by Grafana is limited compared to its competitors, like Splunk."
"It would be helpful if they simplified the data source."
"Lacks event management which affects our DevOps people."
"I had issues with the solution's configuration part."
"We need different kinds of applications in our infrastructure to see information in Grafana."
"For anomaly detection, the product provides only the last three weeks of data, while some competitors can analyze a more extended data history."
