    • Well suited for raising pagers when you have count-based metrics.
    • Well suited for threshold-based metrics.
    • Not well suited for tracking events over the day, since graphs and other visualizations are missing.

    • Unique concept as a "monitoring router" that can tie services together.
    • Backward-compatible with Nagios environments.
    • More of a DevOps focus than Nagios.

    Cons
    Embrace
    • The interface has some confusing points, for instance aggregation setting (percentiles, median) is misleading, and doesn't do anything in some cases
    • Some additional statistical tools would super charge the charts and alerts: moving average, some more useful trend lines
    • The performance charts are amazing to compare many values (from different pages, multiple metrics) and find correlations. But the charts are barely usable when many metrics are shown (one cannot tell a line from the other). A simple UI improvement there could supercharge this use case

    • Cannot be solely used for tracking metrics over time.
    • Not a very good UI.

    Sensu's customer support was always willing to work with us but never really seemed to learn much from our experiences. I think they get a lot of customers with DevOps IT teams that are willing to put in a lot of elbow grease to get the most of Sensu's architecture. However, despite explaining my continued disappointment with their documentation and the overall flow of the product, I never got much more than a "sorry" and a notice that their documentation was open source if I wanted to contribute to it. The problem, of course, is that you can't document what you don't understand. I'm a former technical writer, so I know that better than most.

    SpeedCurve actually uses many of those standard tests, and stores the information from test runs indefinitely. This is the game changer.

    Have used New Relic and Sematext Cloud for APM and for tracking over days and visualizing the issues. But those are very expensive as compared to Sensu.

    • Standing up the Sensu Go server took very little effort.
    • Setting up and maintaining the build processes and deployment logic for Sensu assets and checks was somewhat exhausting and resulted in lower adoption among non-DevOps IT.
    • The limited web interface resulted in lower adoption among non-DevOps IT.
