User Testimonials
	Acknowledge Proactive Monitoring (APM)	Grafana Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Just about any organization with more than one server and more than one cluster as it scales very well. Configuration of the application takes time and finesse to fine tune to where the balance of load time and getting data quickly meets. The plugins add load time but fine tuning for the application to meet demand needs nailed down at implementation Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Alerting through many different medium as Slack, Email, Webhook etc Beautiful and unlimited number of dashboards to view your metrics and tweak them as you please Log aggregation and powerful Logql to filter and view your logs Microservices monitoring Large number of plugins and data sources to collect your metrics from almost anywhere Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Documentation needs to be more clarified since it can be confusing for beginners Notification alert message templates need to be simplified Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	Grafana is more flexible, readily adopts other tools frameworks instead of forcing you to use their agent, doesn't force you into Vendor lock-in, and embraces open source, self-hosted, and Enterprise. Similar companies would like you to use their specific tooling and don't offer nearly as much flexibility. The other thing I like about Grafana is their storage usage is much lower compared to similar tools and competitors Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	It has kicked out some of our paid monitoring and visualization tools. Now Monitoring, Visualization and Alerting is being done in a single platform. It made monitoring and visualization very easy for us. ANurag Tamrakar Software Engineer - DevOps Read full review
