Prometheus Reviews

We use the solution as a centralized system to monitor multiple servers.

The solution's most valuable feature is exporters. It helps us extract data from multiple sources and store it in a single place. It is a user-friendly data voucher that gets insights and essential information about our servers. It works well for the end production environment.

The solution's documentation needs improvement. Presently, we need help to get metrics. Whenever CPU utilization is high, we should receive alerts on emails. But, we encounter difficulties here as the documentation is unclear.

I have been using the solution for the last two months.

It is a stable solution. We have deployed it for around 20+ servers and multiple dashboards.

It is a scalable solution. We have around 50 solution users in our organization.

We used CloudWatch before. Later, we switched to Prometheus for centralized dashboards and extensive data capacity.

The solution's initial setup process was relatively easy. We followed the documentation to understand the essential steps required for deployment.

We use the solution's open-source version.

I recommend Prometheus as it has multiple exposures. I rate the overall solution a seven 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.

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 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 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.

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.

My use cases include monitoring, scraping logs from the Kubernetes deployment, scraping Kubernetes logs, and pushing it over the final.

Prometheus is quite reliable and has a fast data storage system and database. I found metric collection and sterilization of the metrics a valuable feature.

Prometheus' UI color can improve. Using the Prometheus UI for configuration or analyzing queries is a horrible experience.

I have been using Prometheus for longer than three years.

Prometheus is quite a good solution in comparison with, for example, Vatix, which I evaluated for my checks collections named. Prometheus is a great solution for monitoring.

I would give this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

Our primary use case is for the integration with Grafana to receive metrics. We use it as a pulling and a pushing mode to send information from applications to servers.

The most valuable feature is that we can receive information in different formats.

I would like to see improvement in the analysis tools and customization features. I would like to see some visualization tools potentially even though it is not their main marketing point for customers.

I have been using Prometheus for the past three years.

There is stability with Prometheus.

There is scalability with Prometheus. We have around three hundred engineers using the solution daily.

Customer support is handled through documentation since it is open source.

The initial setup is somewhere between simple and complex.

This is an open-source solution.

I would rate Prometheus an eight out of ten.
