Grafana - Open Source

Overall Satisfaction with Grafana

Grafana imis a tool like many others but one of the most flexible and widely used tools. Solvable business problems using this include visualization of ticket and incident data. Observability of server processes and services from just about any platform.

Scope of use includes showing the SLOs and SLIs for infrastructure and business organizations. Team metrics. And data can be connected to MS teams to grab data through automation and workflows.

Pros

  • Metrics
  • Time visualization
  • Graphs
  • Data sorting
  • Data visualization.

Cons

  • Integrations
  • Load times
  • Configuration
  • Open source
  • Large support community
  • New features added all the time
Grafana has created a standard and best practices for other applications to follow and catch up with. It's contribution to the observability and visualization community has tremendous. I look forward to seeing where Grafana will go with the added features of log management, on call, and incident tickets as well.

Do you think Grafana delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Grafana's feature set?

Yes

Did Grafana live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Grafana go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Grafana again?

Yes

Just about any organization with more than one server and more than one cluster as it scales very well.

Configuration of the application takes time and finesse to fine tune to where the balance of load time and getting data quickly meets. The plugins add load time but fine tuning for the application to meet demand needs nailed down at implementation.
