Overall Satisfaction with Prometheus

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Prometheus as a monitoring tool in our organization; it helps to track multiple applications and diagnose performance issues and bugs. Prometheus also keeps the system issues and keep application out of risk. Also, it is open source, so many tutorials and documentations are available on the internet. I personally found it very easy to use. all the data metrics are represented in a visual format, so it does a great job with visualization!

Likelihood to Recommend

Prometheus does a great job with the visualization of dashboard data; it has great monitoring capabilities; if we are looking for multiple Kubernetes time series, then Prometheus is the solution to go for. Prometheus can improve upon installation. I personally found it a little difficult to configure; it gets really difficult when we add features one by one till we reach full features. It gets really complex.
