Displays data visually from multiple sources while integrating seamlessly with existing systems
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Grafana improves the organization by showing data from Prometheus in a user interface.
What is most valuable?
Grafana provides a user-friendly interface for viewing infrastructure metrics through dashboards. It integrates with Prometheus to pull data and offers a straightforward setup process.
Users can monitor metrics with greater ease, and the tool aids in quickly identifying issues by providing a visual representation of data. Grafana's integration capability is straightforward, which facilitates building dashboards as needed.
What needs improvement?
Grafana could consider building its own metrics system to eliminate the reliance on other tools like Prometheus, providing a one-stop solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Grafana for the last four to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are some instances, about one to two percent of the time, where dashboards do not work, however, these are manageable and typically attributed to the underlying data source.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Grafana is pretty scalable as it can source data from multiple providers without limitation.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward. Those familiar with deployment find it easy to manage and deploy.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation is managed by a different team, and issues with integration have been minimal.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I used the open-source version for my learning, which was free. In an enterprise setting, pricing is reasonable, as many customers use it.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Grafana eight or nine out of ten. The deployment of multiple tools could be streamlined into a single solution for better efficiency.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its solved for montoring the utilization CPU, RAm and sever status
Great product to sort and view logs
What do you like best about the product?
We do not have to go in every node and check logs separetely. This tool organises the logs in such a great manner and also provides filters to apply. we can switch from different nodes to one another. I am a new user but it didnt take time for me to learn and use this tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Didnt find any issue yet, it was pretty great for me
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
grepping logs is the one problem it solved as I had to look in to lot of logs now it is very easy
Why you should use Grafana for office dashboard
What do you like best about the product?
I used it to create automated tracking dashboard for satelltie altitude and status.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was a bit confusing at the begining since I worked with local CSV as database, but I evantually was able to integrate it into my project after I got some answers from customer suport.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It lets me track and monitor my system easily.
Best data visualization tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Grafana is very useful for visualizing and analyze vast quantities of data from a simple web interface. Also, it allows to view data in real time with Grafana Live, feature that we use a lot to debug problems in our systems.
It supports many types of data sources, but I think it’s best used with InfluxDB.
It supports many types of data sources, but I think it’s best used with InfluxDB.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not allow you to customize the list of predefined time periods. So every time you need to see a specific interval, you need to input the period of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allowed us to visualize data from the sensors in our infrastructure in real time
Easy tool for monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
The notification tool, you can link with slack :D, that's useful if we reconigze the errors in our projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
No docs in spanish :c something when you are setting the dashboards should be good have more docs about it or docs about to implement Grafana with languages like JS, I know grafana use influxdb to save the data, but examples of that would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have one place with all relative information, this before use the graphs provided by AWS
Provides good alerts and is useful for monitoring user traffic and visualizing metrics
What is our primary use case?
We use it to monitor user behavior. We have AI LLM models in NVIDIA Triton. NVIDIA Triton gives us some metrics. These metrics are integrated with Grafana and Prometheus. We monitor user traffic to visualize metrics like p99 latency, increase in user and CPU performance, utilization of the GPUs, RAM utilization, and CPU utilization.
What is most valuable?
We use the free templates of the solution. We have tested some alerts on metrics. We like the alert features. We plan to use it more. Slack and PagerDuty alerts in Grafana are helpful.
What needs improvement?
It was pretty complicated to integrate the product into our workflow. We relied on templates we found on the GitHub open-source repositories. It is pretty hard to integrate Grafana and set it up according to our use case. The solution must provide tutorials and guides.
We are a small team. We don't have the time to learn Grafana end-to-end, but we want some guides to help us use it quickly. Prebuilt templates will help a lot. The product must provide more alerting metrics. It must be integrated with iOS and Android mobile phones.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for four months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool’s stability is quite good. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s scalability a six out of ten. Scaling is complex. We have four developers in the organization who use the product.
How was the initial setup?
We have good Docker experience, so the setup was pretty straightforward. We had to run a couple of Docker commands. We integrated everything with Docker Compose. As we scale up, the setup will get complicated. If the number of users increases, we might consider switching to the cloud.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Compared to Elasticsearch, ELK Stack, and Logstash, Grafana is pretty strong. Grafana is way ahead of its competitors. SigNoz is also an alternative to Grafana and Prometheus. SigNoz is pretty easy to set up.
What other advice do I have?
We haven't worked or dived deep into the documentation and tutorial. I will recommend the product to users willing to take the time and patience to set up and learn Grafana in-depth. There are a lot of tools that we can use to build excellent integrations and get the most out of them with little knowledge. However, to leverage the value of Grafana and Prometheus, we must learn the tools in depth. It will save us time, and we can get much value if we invest time and effort. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Monitor your application
What do you like best about the product?
Consulidate all your application metrics in one place and display using different dashboard helping you to monitor your application perfomance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Use of Json for some dashboard can be pretty tricky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps in monitor application performance, memory usuasge, request througput in different dashbaords.
A tool that users can understand and learn quickly to use
What is our primary use case?
I use Grafana since it is interconnected with Zabbix. I also use Grafana for the dashboard of machines from VMware and for some network devices connected to Zabbix.
What is most valuable?
The ability to use Grafana with Zabbix is a valuable feature for me. Zabbix provides me with alerts and information if something goes wrong, while Grafana offers a better dashboard that is more stable. If you know Grafana well, it can show you everything, like the uptime of different sources and other areas.
What needs improvement?
I have a problem with Grafana in the area of documentation. There is a problem in the area of some graphs where you connect elements. With Grafana, there is only one name that can be included for ten hours. In Grafana, only one big field with one text name is shown in the documentation. When it comes to production, it is only for a period of time that some fields on each side give the information they have. I researched on Google and other forums and saw that people face problems when they can't connect a field with the same value. The aforementioned area in the tool needs improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Grafana for nine months. I am a customer of the product.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have always had a stable version of the product. In general, I have not had any issues with the product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The technical personnel in my company use the tool, and it is possible to add or delete devices and other statuses in the solution. Around five people in my company use the product.
How are customer service and support?
I have always used the online forums or the internet to find information related to the product. I have not contacted the tool's technical support.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was very easy.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
For me, Grafana is a cheap tool because I don't have to spend much time learning the product since it is a simple solution. I don't know if there are different paid versions of the product.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
My company chose Grafana over other products in the market considering its integration capabilities with Zabbix, good documentation, and the many topics about the tool that are available on the internet.
What other advice do I have?
I would suggest Grafana to those who use Zabbix because it helps users get a lot of information on networks and resolve a lot of problems.
I could do everything in Grafana with the help of graphs and documentation and get information on different types of devices.
I rate the overall tool an eight to nine out of ten.
Grafana integration
What do you like best about the product?
The visualisation of dashboards on a large screen allows us to have a clear indication of issues and problems. The frequency of use is daily for us and it's important to have integration with all of our systems
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a steep learning curve, not just the product but all of the different connections that it supports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had no observable dashboards, no single pane of glass as it were. This allow us to have a rolling set of dashboards covering applications and services, allowing proactive monitoring of SLAs as well as KPIs for staff
