Grafana - graphs for performance analysis
What do you like best about the product?
1. Supports different data sources like Prometheus, MySQL, InfluxDB etc.
2. Zoom in, zoom out and date range filtering applies to all the panels present in the dashboard, which helps in comparative analysis.
3. Different types of graphs like Gauge chart, Pi chart, Bar chart, line chart etc with interactive user interface is very useful.
4. Interpreting huge amount of data on garphs is made easy with different colours and tool tips.

What do you dislike about the product?
Integrating with data sources that involves configuring data sources and connectors can be complex and time-consuming for non-technical person.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in a networking company, visualizing the performance of different components is very vital for easy detection of any problems in the network. So we have KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) which help in understanding components. Along with Prometheus time series database, we use Grafana for displaying KPIs over a time period.
Best for data monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
I can monitor all the data in same screen and that is the best part. It is best for incident monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not refreshes on its own after some time. We have to manually refresh the time which is quite irritating
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us monitor all the device health under the same screen which saves a lot of time and is easy to use
A stable solution that enables seamless visualization and movement of data between teams
How has it helped my organization?
What is most valuable?
The comparison feature is very good.
What needs improvement?
The service dashboard is very hard and needs improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Grafana for six to seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution.
How was the initial setup?
The solution was deployed with Kubernetes. The deployment took an hour to complete. It is not difficult to maintain as Kubernetes gives easy updates.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am using the open source version.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Grafana - The All-rounder for monitoring metrics, logging and alerting
What do you like best about the product?
We're using Grafana for real-time monitoring metrics, alerting, and logging. For monitoring, we've integrated it with Prometheus, and for logging, we've integrated it with Loki and Promtail. Apart from this, we're looking to explore it as an APM at the moment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to create a custom dashboard.
Better UI is needed for Loki logs. Real-time logs are still a challenge.
Different data sources cannot be used in the same graph at the same time, causing a visual comparison of the data to be difficult.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using node-exporter, cadvisor, mongo-exporter, mysql-exporter, pm2 exporter and nginx exporter to send data to prometheus and plot graphs on grafana for real-time monitoring. Pretty helpful to debug and provide RCA for any incidents that occur.
Getting application logs using the loki docker plugin and getting logs on Grafana on a container-level.
We hope to implement grafana tempo soon.

Good dashboard features and provides excellent customization
What is our primary use case?
My main use case is the dashboard. For example, we have screens created in the last step, and we integrate Grafana with that so that we can see the dashboards with the data. What does the traffic look like? What do the errors look like? So the is our main use case.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable aspect is customization. There are many customizations possible, so I like that.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement in terms of stability.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Grafana for more than a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability an eight out of ten because sometimes I find issues with Grafana. For example, I am unable to open some services there. Then, we have to open ten different tabs to get it fixed. And it's annoying when there's something going on we want to check Grafana, and it throws four different errors.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have never had any issues with scalability.
Everyone in our organization uses this solution. So, we have over 10,000 end users.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. You simply see what you want to do. You want to add a row. You want to add a panel. So it's easy for me to set it up.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Quick Visualization of New Product Data
What do you like best about the product?
The visualization dashboard is easy to use and includes a wide range of display options. You can change parameters very quickly to converge on the display you want.
What do you dislike about the product?
You are somewhat bound by the connectors provided and the completeness of their implementation. But this was not a serious problem for my implementation. Be that you know how to use your chosen connector.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to display operating data from our IoT solution.
Grafana Dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
The dash boards are well versed and can be easily modified to get the details of issue or required data be it 5xx errors or any other related queries
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no such thing to dislike all seems good
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing real time data
Queries to customise dashboard
Monitoring of services health

A good solution to track all the servers and platforms, but it needs to improve its configuration part
What is our primary use case?
I copied it on my primary server. I use it to monitor servers. I would say it is a good solution to track all the servers and platforms, specifically the technical platforms.
What is most valuable?
Grafana has such features that it need not exist on other products.
What needs improvement?
I had issues with the solution's configuration part. Though I resolved it, the configuration is an area needing improvement since it is the solution's only problem.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience using Grafana. I am a new user of the tool.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven and a half out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Grafana is a very scalable product. It's a really good product.
I know many people who use Grafana to monitor SuccessFactors.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is not very easy or difficult, so it is in the middle because I faced an issue with it the first time, but the next time, I will configure it and make it work properly and in the correct manner.
What other advice do I have?
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.
