With its user-friendly interface and intuitive query language, users were able to build robust monitoring solutions for their environments.

Prometheus has been widely used in microservice architectures to ensure high availability and performance, monitoring multiple services and maintaining uptime and resource consumption. It has also been integrated with other tools like Grafana and Linkerd to enhance monitoring capabilities and visualize data. Additionally, Prometheus has been utilized in monitoring databases, websites, and even corporate mobile devices to ensure network security and compliance with defined rules and policies. The flexibility of Prometheus as an open-source tool allows users to tailor it to suit their specific business needs while being cost-effective for small and medium-sized businesses with budget constraints. Overall, users appreciate the seamless experience of solving complex problems with Prometheus once they have acquired the necessary skills and find value in its extensive list of exporters and data visualization capabilities.

  • We use Prometheus at work to monitor our container cluster health and the performance of various services.
  • The software allows us to predict future bottlenecks based on aggregated data that we collected previously.
  • It is not a visual tool it just takes the metric from node and present when the queries are passed.

  • We are still working on the ROI
  • The ROI mentioned during the purchase has not been achieved, however this could be due to lack of data from our side. 2 years of implementation is too early to calculate and confirm the ROI.

  • Positive: Network and infraestructure monitoring to detect security breaches.
  • Positive: Excellent visualizer of data with Grafana.
  • Challenging: If the data is not useful to build Time-Series. Promethous will inform a bad performance.

  • Its open source, so basically all you get charged is for compute power.
  • Do not use it if your billing is dependent on some metrics.
  • Overall its a great contender if you want to manage subscription based SAAS.
