Grafana Open Source

Overall Satisfaction with Grafana

My company started using it for just a single department, the systems engineering team. We have now built it out where it benefits other departments, so it is used by a large percentage of Operations. Grafana helps to visualize metrics so we have a better idea of what is happening within our environment and areas of improvement.
  • Stunning dashboards
  • Versatile data sources
  • Functions to customize values
  • Improved user experience
  • Management team is able to see into our environment.
  • Pin point issues where problems might arise.
Grafana blows Nagios out of the water when it comes to customization. The ability to feed almost any data source makes it very versatile and the cost is great.

We use the free version of Grafana and it handles everything we need for now, we will likely be switching to the paid version at some point. Grafana also offers a hosted instance that helps users get off the ground sooner. There is a definite learning curve to creating dashboards and knowing data sources available to the user.
