User Testimonials
	Grafana Cloud	NetCrunch by AdRem Software
Likelihood to Recommend	Grafana Labs 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	AdRem Software No answers on this topic
Pros	Grafana Labs 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	AdRem Software No answers on this topic
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.

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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	AdRem Software No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Grafana Labs Grafana blows Nagios out of the water when it comes to customization. The ability to feed almost any data source makes it very versatile and the cost is great. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	AdRem Software No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Grafana Labs Grafana has replaced many higher priced tools The integrations are seemless with multiple backends Combining graphs and dashboards from multiple data sources is a game changer Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	AdRem Software No answers on this topic
