What do you like best about Prometheus?

I like best thing of Prometheus Platform is that it's user-friendly interface. The ability of platform to streamline plant processes, assist in plant maintenance, operations, safety management, and contribute to cost-cutting are key highlights are one of the best points I really loved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prometheus?

I mainly dislike is its issues with updates are really slow. And main thing I hate and dislike is that

we need to purchase many parts separately of Prometheus Platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Prometheus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prometheus is mainly working on streamlining plant processes, contributing to plant maintenance, operations, and safety management. It helps us mainly in our cost cutting of program. Also Prometheus helps us in monitoring and analyzing the performance of Kong API, ensuring it operates efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Prometheus?

Prometheus is very helpful in monitoring computer stuffs like cpu, disk, network etc. It can collect data about how things are running, like our apps and systems. I liked its integration with grafana which makes it a perfect tool for monitoring the system/applications with its appealing visulisations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prometheus?

It doesn't show data visually ( except some graphs ) on its own, so we need extra tools for that (like grafana). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Prometheus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prometheus is solving the problem of keeping track of how our systems are doing. It tells us if something's off, helps us understand performance, and saves us from any negative bussiness impacts. Its like having a reliable helper looking out for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Prometheus?

You can define your own metrics for your application that want to monitor. Paired up with Grafana makes it a really powerful tool. It's Alert manager is a cherry on top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just the integrations are a bit tough to crack on windows. If it can be made for windows then it will become the best monitoring tool out there. On Linux it works pretty fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documention on performance parameter is not so good and lack knowledge on setting correct resources for production level traffic. We have faced issues related to dimensioning on production site because multiple queries on multiple window cause application to consume too much memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provide a way to monitor system/application matrics which helps us to get realtime metrics and take action if required. Also we can easily integrate with grafana to get data in graph form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
