Grafana: A powerful opensource monitoring/visualizat tool

  • October 14, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- It's Opensource
- It supports tons of integrations
- Graphs are very beautiful and interactive
- Graph/Dashboard as cpdey
- Can fire alerts and so many channels are supported
What do you dislike about the product?
- There are so many settings which we can't configure from UI, We've to open up configuration files in command line text editors and manually fillup the settings.

- In terms of visualization it's best but it doesn't support log analysis otherwise it could breakdown all other visualization tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're visualizing metrics exported from our Kubernetes Clusters by Prometheus agent on Grafana and sending alerts on our channels whenever a metric is touching threshold.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Should focus on log analysis functionality and configuring settings from UI

Grafana - Great visualization application / tool for Monitoring and Reports

  • June 02, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The updated colorful and meaningful graphs and charts are excellent, and with the great visualizations in the panels and the much-required metrics and other good features they provide.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing more, but the alerting options are not available for Instana, and some other data sources is a drawback which I feel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Grafana for the Instana data source. We benefit from the dashboards we customize based on our application, Server, and website monitoring purposes. Also, we have integrated AWS cloud watch with Grafana for better monitoring.
We use Grafana to generate graphical reports for monthly and weekly tenure and can be shared,
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Perfect monitoring tool with great visualizations inbuilt, also easy to configure good dashboards based on our requirements.

Grafana - Cross platform solution for dashboarding

  • December 09, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Grafana is equipped with very lightweight dashboard pages.
It does not lag a little.
The graphs are very much interactive with the user.

we have the possibility to draw more than one pens in a single chart, which most of the software don't support.
The colouring is very much versatile for the graphs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not have connectivity with all of the databases in the market. That is okay because it supports connectivity with most of the databases.

It does not have the automatic report generation facility, that could have been introduced so that we can have automated reporting for our customers.

It also could have a one or two communication drivers to talk with device directly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connectivity with InfluxDB and SQL server.
querying the data from the database .
Dash boarding the data in a webbrowser.

Using Grafana for visualizing Metrics and Logs in our DevOps environment

  • July 01, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
That grafana is easy to integrate with every kind of data source. The graphs are smooth and easy to understand. You can easily query everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Displaying logs is a bit unsupported at the moment, but still one of the best on the market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualizing metrics of our virtual machines from elasticsearch datasource and visualizing metrics of containers from prometheus datasource. Also displaying application and server logs on separated dashboards. The biggest benefit is that I can see every kind of information from various datasources on a single platform and possibly on a single dashboard. The dashboards are capable of refreshing themselves and with that, you can see what is happening in you environment real time. Grafana is also great if you want to display one or more of its dashboards on TV screens or on some other non-interactive display, because you can share the dashboards for users who does not have the needed privileges to sign in to your grafana instance. Integration of grafana with any kind of authentication system (for example Microsoft's very own Active Directory with the LDAP integration) is very easy. Running grafana inside container is also very easy and well documented and supported, which makes the operation of the instance a lot easier. You can also create organizations on the platform and you can create roles based on those organizations. By using these, you can separate dashboards for different teams and/or users. The documentation and the community built around the platform is great and one of the best I have seen in the open source community.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to choose one platform, where you can visualize metrics, don't hesitate and just choose grafana, because it is the best platform for it.

  • January 11, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Grafana is basically used for visualization purpose. It provides different types of panels for visualizing data for example graph, status panel, single state etc.
we can use different type of data sources while creating any dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Till now everything is fine, I personally feels good while using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For monitoring different type of tools and for presenting our data in the form of graphs I mainly use grafana.

Best visualisation tool for monitoring

  • December 03, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Customisation of graphs, a lot of data sources, a lot of plugins (different visualisations, auth, data sources). Multi-tenancy, different auth methods. Sharing of graphs. API for automation and etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you use it heavily sometimes you need to modify code to add more features (and in my experience only 30% of github PR got merged). Some obvious features for visualisation plugins are still missing (like filter out empty metrics from table).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualisation, alerts, monitoring, troubleshooting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use internal alerts if you use cases are simple otherwise use some external and more powerful tool. Don't be lazy and set up proper auth.
Also remember that your Grafana powerfulness depends on your time series database. Nice would be to ideas is to use templating tool to build your graphs.

Grafana Visualizes Environment Data

  • December 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Grafana has allowed us to visualize data we were not collecting prior. From simple statistics such as temperature and humidity of our datacenters, to performance metrics of a variety of production servers, we can now not only have an easy-to-digest snapshot of where our environment stands, but forecast where we need to be to maintain a desired level of performance for a growing userbase.
What do you dislike about the product?
Grafana can take some finesse to visualize data in a desirable fashion. Although there is a large breadth of information that it can digest and display in a visually appealing way, it can take a bit of massaging to showcase the data in the way that is wanted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We went from using real-time monitoring such as Windows Performance metrics to wall thermostats in our datacenters to have any idea of where we stood with our hardware and physical environments, to being able to view historical trends and forecast new equipment purchases. There is obvious value in being pro-active in these regards, as opposed to reactive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with simple dashboards showing correlations with only 1 or 2 data points; once more data is being processed it's easy to dive deep into data displays that you didn't even know you could showcase, let alone would want to. We've gone from wanting simple measurements of the temperatures of our datacenters to collecting performance metrics on almost all production servers, usage rates of UPS devices, and network traffic flows from various devices across our network.

Great Graphics, Great Insights

  • November 07, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Grafana allows us to tap into our databases and visualize information in an easy to digest way, perfect for non-technical staff.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it taps into our databases, it's necessary to use some sort of coding experience to gather the information, so the setup is not easy for non-tech personnel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are gathering user metrics from our internal databases to gather better insights from our users to improve our products, and with grafana we have gained a better understanding of how people are using our product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Implement this software with a technical staff help, otherwise you won't be able to tap into its full potential.
