Overall Satisfaction with Prometheus

Prometheus is a great solution for recording metrics to monitor cloud environments and infrastructure. It can gather metrics from a variety of commonly used techniques, such as Kubernetes. It also integrates nicely with data visualization platforms such as Grafana, so you can create dashboards based on the metrics. Alerts are also very useful for getting notified of situations in a timely manner.

Pros

  • Centralizing metrics.
  • Scales well for Cloud.
  • Integrates well with other solutions.

Cons

  • User Interface.
  • Easier to use query.
  • Cost
  • Time Series Data Storage.
  • Metrics Monitoring.
  • Alerts.
  • Better observability into infrastructure and Cloud resources.
  • Enable teams to better support software.
  • Help teams troubleshoot faster when there are problems.

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Prometheus again?

Yes

It is a great solution for general metrics monitoring and notifications for IT infrastructure and Cloud environments. It is a mature product that has been around for some time. However, since it focuses on metrics, if you need a more complete Observability platform, there are more complete products out on the market.
