What do you like best about Grafana Labs?

We can customize the graphs on the dashboard to accommodate different types of users so they only see the data needed for their job. Their permission model allows us to craft data-sensitive dashboards and restrict them by user or team.

Another plus is that one can even hook Grafana directly to a database to query any data for a dasboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grafana Labs?

My biggest problem is that one cannot create alerts on dashboards that use template variables. We use those variables heavily in almost all our dashboards, forcing us to rely on 3rd party software to dispatch our alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grafana Labs solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Grafana to monitor the status, load and health of our instances and containers across our cluster. By using Loki (another Grafana product for logging) we can correlate the graphs with the application logs to see when a process impacts performance of our service in real time.
