Grafana Labs
If I was starting over on an Observability platform, Grafana would be my number 1 choice due to the flexibility and ability to act as a single platform either on its own or combining multiple data sources. The trick however, is that it can be fairly complex to learn and setup, so time is needed to make it a successful implementation. There is a level of cognitive load required

Intellicus makes complex data analysis easy through the use
of Powerful Business Intelligence tools.
Their dashboard capabilities provide a flexible and efficient way to
deliver information and analytic tools to users without the need for highly
technical skills.



Non-technical users are not exposed to simplified ways to
build data query logic. This is a tricky
requirement to satisfy though, because of the level of complexity that is
inherent within data mining and analysis.

Cons
Grafana Labs
  • There are some settings which we can't configure from UI (Web Console).
  • We've open[ed] up configuration files in command line text editors and manually do the settings e.g. LDAP/SSO configuration.
  • In terms of visualization, it's best, but it doesn't support log analysis otherwise it could destroy business of all other visualization tools.

  • Building complex query objects and cubes could be more user-friendly.
  • User interface loads of complex OLAP of large data cubes could always use improved performance :)

Usability
Grafana Labs
It is infinitely flexible. If you can imagine it, Grafana can almost certainly do it. Usability may be in the eye of the beholder however, as there is time needed to curate the experience and get the dashboards customized to how it makes sense to you. I know one thing they are working on are more templates, based on data sources
