Overall Satisfaction with Prometheus
My organisation provides agri-tech solutions and has various components such as IoT, cloud computing, mobile application etc. It is most important for us to make sure that none of our services go down or have any issues. For this, we need to constantly monitor all our services. Prometheus helps us in achieving this. We use Grafana on top of Prometheus to visualize our resource utilization and alert us if the utilization exceeds a certain threshold. This way we instantly know if there are any issues with any of our services and take care of it.

The reason Prometheus stands tall against its competitions is because it is generic. Hence, it can be used to monitor all kinds of services, be it Database, Servers etc. Whereas CloudWatch only monitors over AWS services. Another reason is its huge availability of integrations with some of the best services such as Alertmanager, Grafana or even with AWS CloudWatch exporter.
