"Overall positive, but could use some quality-of-life improvements"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Chronosphere?

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.

"Great product with even better service"
5/5

Some aspects of their product are still under development, with APIs and interfaces changing occasionally. Though they give plenty of notice to these changes, they can be a headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"reliable, easy to setup and operate, great support team"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Chronosphere?

- Great support team: engineers and account managers are super quick to respond and always willing to lend a helping hand. Also very receptive to feedback and proactive with their communication (e.g. "we noticed X about your system, would you like to do Y?")

- Excellent reliability: we've experienced very few issues with chronosphere so far, none of which have been more than a tiny blip. Among the few we were able to quickly diagnose them and come to resolutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chronosphere?

Lack of UI components: there are still certain features being built out that would be nice to have a UI component for, such as rollup rules. The team is aware of this and is actively developing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
