User Testimonials
	Kibana	Redash
Likelihood to Recommend	Great for teams big and small that want a single pane of glass for understanding their systems, from dev, to staging, to production. Well-suited for teams that need to preserve logs for long-term compliance reasons, and also mine their logs for useful operational insights. Highly recommended as both an open source project and a commercial offering with fantastic paid support. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Redash is good in following conditions: Amazing query editor with lots of auto-complete feature for SQLDoes not require hassle and provide an easy interface to connect to various DB Good integration points with various DB's Easy and Simple Dashboarding functionality It lacks in following areas: Dashboarding and Reporting feature is not that extensive [fewer] filters for Periodic filters as well scheduled reports Incentivized Nitin kumar Singh Site Reliability Engineer Read full review

Cons	Improved tutorial/ user guidance Improved labeling for sources Ease of login and sharing with coworkers Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	At times, the response time for the query takes more than a minute Dashboard refreshes used to take time Auto indentation was not there Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Its usability is generally good and it provides teams with a basic to intermediate understanding about data visualization. It is very user-friendly when it comes to creating dashboards. The UI is very good and simple. Its integration with other tools for alerting and reporting is amazing. But its advance features have a learning curve and a first timer needs some time to use the advance features. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic

Alternatives Considered	Well when it comes to using Kibana when compared to Datadog, I can say that Kibana is pretty [...] cheap. Apart from APM and Datadog hosted agents, Kibana gives a good competition to Datadog for real time log analysis as well as metrics analysis. While OpsGenie is a great tool for alerting, it lacks visualization when compared to Kibana. Grafana is another opensource tool that gives a lot of insights like Kibana but Grafana cannot be easily integrated with OpenSearch.

Return on Investment	First stop when diagnosing production performance issues. Incentivized Nick Horvath Software Architect Read full review	So as far as investment its just the time you need to give and done. You can host Redash on your server and just pay as you go. There isn't much investment but a lot of things will be solved around reporting and charting. Incentivized Rahul Jain Software Engineer Read full review
