The core product is solid: metrics dashboard, alerts are reliable overall. Our team agreed that it gets the job done. It also supports both Prometheus style pull metric and statsd style push metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Chronosphere? 1. lack of support for customer-facing dashboards 2. documentation is overly simplified. It also lacked search functionality for the longest time. Recently the team added search, but it still has some usability issues 3. testing functionalities are missing. I can't do alert backtesting or notifier testing. 4. Eng team of chronosphere pushes a couple of requests that require code changes or manual operations each year. This was more than what we hoped for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Chronosphere solving and how is that benefiting you? Chronosphere provides a scalable solution on top of the widely adopted Prometheus-Grafana suite. The core product (time series/alerts) is capable and reliable.
