It is able to handle simultaneous connections when using the embedded software version. It is well suited for organizations looking for standalone servers that can handle high data volumes and still perform well and which is also cost-effective database management system especially when they are working on a low budget.

  • Not a good choice if you need very high levels of accuracy with regards to collecting 100% of a certain type of data.
  • The user interface does not have much eye candy which helps you focus on what you need to see but can appear very basic in its design sometimes.
  • PromQL does have a high learning curve.
  • Not great for high cardinality data types.
  • Unlike other platforms, Prometheus does not have a macro system.

Because it is free and usually zero maintenance. Just the issue of more difficult format updates in the future lower the rating a bit.

Usability
Open Source
Usability has improved by unifying the architecture. The only thing's missing out of the box is a simple GUI DB tool for viewing DB contents and maybe running some SQL queries.

It is usable and one can learn if few people in the team are already using it. It can be difficult to understand at the beginning because of non intuitive UI and syntax of the rules. So, I've gone for 7 points as there is some room for improvement in user interface and rules syntax.

This is an open source project. It provides a fair amount of free documentation and I think forums somewhere...

Even somebody just starting to use RDBMS himself should get it working quickly, at least if he's got a GUI tool and some SQL knowledge.

Highly customized pricing plans to choose from. Lower pricing for the same features compared to competitors. Easy to reach the support team, which provided detailed documentation and helped set up the Prometheus. Monitoring metrics gets very easy after the integration with Grafana. It also has a sophisticated alert setting mechanism to ensure we don't miss anything critical.

  • We are still working on the ROI
  • The ROI mentioned during the purchase has not been achieved, however this could be due to lack of data from our side. 2 years of implementation is too early to calculate and confirm the ROI.
