Overall Satisfaction with Prometheus

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.
  • 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.

Do you think Prometheus delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Prometheus's feature set?

Yes

Did Prometheus live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Prometheus go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Prometheus again?

Yes

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.
