Overall Satisfaction with Prometheus

Prometheus is used in multiple ways; the ones I have had the chance to work with are the following: - Deployed as a standalone tool to collect metrics (self-deployed and self-managed) - in this case, other solutions are also deployed (ex., Grafana) - Pre-existing solution in certain managed services on the cloud (ex. Prometheus for GKE).
  • Collect metrics.
  • Metrics definition.
  • Ease of deployment.
  • Visualisation
  • Emailing
  • Alerting
  • Metric collection.
  • Quick action time when service is unavailable (although used with other tools).
We used Grafana and Prometheus to take advantage of both tools' features (ex. alerting, and visualization with Grafana).

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?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Prometheus go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Prometheus again?

Yes

When managing infrastructure or a set of machines (VMs or not), Prometheus is a very good, straightforward forward, and easy-to-deploy tool. I have deployed it with Ansible, and with Helm charts, both methods (although serving different services) were not complicated, took a couple of hours, and was instantly useful.
