Overall Satisfaction with Prometheus

We use Prometheus for on prem applications currently to monitor baseline monitors which includes CPU, Memory, Disk Space. Since on prem applications either will stay on prem or will be moved to cloud in later part, as a solution we had Prometheus which proved to be cost effective to monitor those.

Pros

  • Monitoring
  • Alerting
  • Tool to onboard

Cons

  • Should have options of adding servers from just one tool
  • We have 3 different tool to onboard, alert and dashboard which should have been consolidated in one.
  • Well it help us to reduce user impacts which all observability tool does
We have less usability of Prometheus, and only onprem apps use this and on prem apps may not be that critical.
It should have APM monitoring which is must needed in all apps now.
Only than usability will increase for this app in our company or any company. Baseline monitoring is always less
As I mentioned earlier, Prometheus had an added advantage that we were able to monitor CPU, RAM, Disk Space, process monitoring which other tools did not provide us
Some tools were obsolete, and other were costly when we wanted this good feature , only Prometheus delivered on those. The easy link with Grafana helps

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?

Yes

Did implementation of Prometheus go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Prometheus again?

Yes

We are not using for cloud applications so seems to be limitation maybe in our company.
While Datadog provides everything,(synthetic and browser monitoring,) Prometheus does not have that which limits its uses and application teams want to use a monitoring tool which can track everything and a single dashboard should have all information
But since these options are missing, company is not moving forward with this
