Grafana vs. VizualSurvey

Grafana is a one stop solution for all application monitoring needs. In our organisation, we use nodeJs. We run it using pm2. Since we didn't use Grafana it was hard for us to know if an app has stopped working unless we find it ourselves because our other app components were failing, or someone called us up and told about the situation. We were already using Grafana for monitoring our Ubuntu servers, but we hadn't had set it up for our app monitoring. Somehow we decided to monitor our nodeJs app with Grafana. It's a really good decision we made. We used Grafana nodeJs module "prom-client" for our node app which brought us relief from app failing situations. Since we have implemented Grafana for our Node app, it has helped us to monitor every health aspect of our node app. Now we have set up alerts based on heap-memory, so when heap memory goes beyond a set threshold we get notified and take the right steps ultimately saving our app from crashing and of course from losing business and reputation.

Understanding customer experience, purchase behaviour, deciding factors, pricing points, delivery schedule, delivery speed, eagerness, acceptance, reciprocation to offers, reciprocation to price increases, results of an offer, results of market changes, factors behind purchase decision, and also employee feedback. All these various scenarios are well suited for the use of VisualSurvey.

Incentivized

• It visualizes metrics very well coming from any well known data source.
• It sends alerts to collaboration channels when a threshold is breeched.
• Graphs and dashboards are portable (Graph-as-a-Code).

• Being able to visualize our data gives us better insight into what works, and what doesn't
• Allows us to create dashboards branded specifically to our individual clients
• Super fast learning curve, easy to get everyone on board

Incentivized

• Functions to customize values
• Improved user experience

Incentivized

• Connecting dashboards and templates.
• Prepping software data.
• Need more how-to videos.

Grafana has a direct plugin to Icinga monitoring solution and allowed for easy configuration for us. At the time of implementation, other services did not have such an integration. As we already had a very customized and heavily introduced monitoring solution in place, we needed settings that could plug into the system quickly and efficiently. This was the case with Grafana and allowed us to have all the integrations we needed with services such as Icinga

Google Data Studio has several problems with modifying data and the way we collect data is very basic and can be outdated sometimes. The visualizations are limited and the formatting is very restrictive. VizualSurvey is much better with data visualization and survey mechanisms where people respond better and we get a higher response rate.

Incentivized

• Helps us to keep our application and server up all time
• Dashboards are easy to share with others

Incentivized

• Higher success rates with overall customer satisfaction leads to return customers
• Customers are more trusting on larger projects based on the satisfaction of other customers
• Able to more efficiently meet clients needs, leading to faster closings
