Grafana Reviews

It's very easy to mix different data and create different graphs. Now it's possible to make graphs and mix with images, SVG images. All of this in a very intuitive way.

It's not possible to make granular permissions in the versions we use.

1. Simple user interface.
2. Functionality.
3. Correctness.
4. Efficiency.

1. Testability. (finds little trouble while configuration)
2. Security. (multi-factor authentication required.)

- dashboarding
- insight into metrics, traces and logging
- synthetics checks
- K6 Load testing
-Alerting

- licence is also user based
- Learning curve is for developers

- Easy to see insights of any deployed web server.
- Setup is very easy with ease to monitor and high quality visualisation option.

Little messed up as compare to other products which is available in market.

Best in collecting logs of the events.
Completely reliable in management of notification, time, and alerts.
Automated tracking dashboard for instant review.

Not easy to start with , tricky panel and features.

I use Grafana to have better visualization on what's happening about metrics collected by Zabbix server and Graylog Server (just add the data source).
With Grafana I can create several dashboards that contain different kind of panels: bars, gauges, numbers -called stat- (changing colour if a threshold is reached), graphs, logs... Just add the metric you want to be displayed.
With these informations displayed on a large monitor anyone can be alerted when a value is out of range in an easy and effective way.
There are additional plugins available to better customize your panel.
Grafana runs on linux, the installation is easy and quick.
You can easily find documentation on internet.

some plugins are in beta or don't work as expected

The vast amount of components you can configure via code or in Grafana itself makes itself a swiss army knife for reporting and metrics, from API and UI level to server level.

It is complex to learn compared to other reporting tools.

Grafana is a great tools that helps me get real time track on CPU and memory use when I do my Data Science development.

Grafana doesn't implement tracking for each process. It was implemented with Jupyter but it doesn't tell the CPU and Memory used by each notebook that is currently running.

1. Impresive graphics and dashboard.
2. With timestamp searching logs and analyzing the scenario is super easy.
3. Rich visualisations from different data sources to understand health metrics.

Usage of Grafana is little tricky for new comes.

It is an open source visualisation and monitoring tool. You can load your data from hundreds of different data sources and can start visualising and monitoring your data. There are many helper plugins available to download that make the experince even smoother. You can also perform basic data manipulation and based on the formatted data, you also get suggestions for visulaisation

The one thing that could be improved is the integration with csv files and other file formats. Since the plugin that is available also has limited functionality, any development in this direction would be helpful for many users

The Amount of available Dashboards made from the Community or the Developer makes using grafana very easy. But also if you need to build your own Dashboard you can do it quite easy. Highlight is the Fusion of Data from several sources.

Innitial Installation can be a bit tricky, if not used in premade Docker Enviroment.

Grafana makes it easy building dashboards for pods in a microservice architecture.

The learning curve and configuration complexity might be challenging for beginners.

Easy deployment, integrates nicely with Zabbix and has many graphs for data visualization.I like the fact that I can customize a lot the dashboard.

Some configurations might be difficult if you are new on Linux.

Graphical interface and the plugins available.

Features and bugs. Have explored few plugins like oncall and slack integration, getting better with latest release.

I like the data visualization part because it is very to understand all graphs.

I like all the features but Grafana's latest version, they have rolled out the graph (old) feature.

It has many plugins and datasources that help to obtain information from different sources and to present it in many alternatives with the plugins.

There are many plugins or datasources that must be paid for in the enterprise version.

The best part i love most is it support multiple datasource to provide visualization .It supports lot of data matrix and result is accurate.

There is nothing bad about it as it has all the features we need.

It can be integrate with many other tools easily like as Zabbix, elk, Prometheus, precona

good application deployed on production enviourment

In Grafana it's very easy to create the dashboard and plot the data at the same location from multiple resources. It supports many data sources like Prometheus and Influx database.

If we need to create custom dashboards, we need to learn JASON language.
