Prometheus has proven to be a versatile and effective monitoring tool, solving various problems for users across different industries. Initially, some users found Prometheus to be complex, but once they overcame the initial learning curve, they discovered its value in monitoring time-series data and generating alerts for anomalies. 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.

Prometheus is highly recommended as a monitoring system, particularly for cloud-based companies. Users emphasize its reliability, community support, and cost-effectiveness. It is suggested to try Prometheus as a monitoring solution in 2020. Additionally, users recommend utilizing Prometheus as a no-SQL database for runtime data.

So we are using Prometheus for monitoring of our own servers. Basically there's just a self-sufficient tool which has its own database. This tends to take care of a lot of stuff out of our minds, since you just setup Prometheus docker on one machine and just deploy agents on the nodes and you are basically set for monitoring everything that happens on that node.
  • Inbuilt database.
  • Amazing visualization.
  • Need to extend its support.
I would say that every organization should definitely start using Prometheus for monitoring as long as it is a small environment with less than 1000 nodes. I haven't tried it with more nodes, but I have heard that if you have a bigger infrastructure, better shift to something better than Prometheus.
  • It's free, but overall positive.
  • Just view the dashboard in the morning and you know everything about your system.
If you combine Prometheus with Grafana, what you get is just amazing. it is basically the best ecosystem that I have seen. Grafana just makes those fancy "iron man" kind of dashboards and it just looks so appealing to your eyes. I have implemented Nagios Core earlier for monitoring and I would say I still prefer Prometheus than Nagios since the flexibility that it provides and the ease with which it can be setup.
Never had to reach out to them.
