Overall Satisfaction with Prometheus

We use prometheus for monitoring in our enviroment. Due to the flexibility of open-source we are able to fine tune it to suit our business needs. The amazing part of this monitoring tool is it collects and stores data as time series data. This helps us to visualize the data in a way which we want to see and make improvements.
Before prometheus we have been using other softwares, however they seem to be very costly. SMB segments are not really able to spend lot of thier budgets into monitoring.

Pros

  • Great visualization
  • Provides multi dimensional data visualization
  • Has a flexible query language
  • Provides machine-centric monitoring as well as monitoring of highly dynamic service-oriented architectures

Cons

  • Improve on the GUI of the application
  • Backup and Restore process
  • Some of the cost calculation fields are harder to program with our set up.
  • Monitoring
  • Intuitive tool, easy to use
  • Easy to switch from MS Project.
  • Cost and time to implement
  • We are still working on the ROI
  • The ROI mentioned during the purchase has not been achieved, however this could be due to lack of data from our side. 2 years of implementation is too early to calculate and confirm the ROI.
It was easy to implement in our enviroment compared to the other products which has a lot of challenges in the POC period it self. We have been looking for a quick solution as it was implemented during COVID, hence we were trying to take advantage of this software to see how it could help business drive during the COVID period. Hence ease of implementation was one of the main advantages in Prometheus.

Do you think Prometheus delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

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

It suits well in intergreting with the esixting ERP solutions which is a main advantage. We are still in the process of exploring this software into a deeper dive.
This is less appropriate in an environement where they have non standard ERP solution. Integreation is key in today's IT world.
