What do you dislike about Grafana Labs? - It may be difficult to set up and configure, particularly in big deployments. - It can be time-consuming, particularly for big dashboards with elaborate visualisations. - The community's response time to concerns might be sluggish. - Grafana's user interface is not as pleasant as that of certain other observability programs, such as Datadog and New Relic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Grafana Labs solving and how is that benefiting you? Grafana Labs is a strong open source observability platform that is ideal for businesses of all sizes. It is very adaptable and expandable, with a big user and contributor community. However, it may be difficult to set up and configure, and it can be resource-intensive in big installations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're using Grafana for real-time monitoring metrics, alerting, and logging. For monitoring, we've integrated it with Prometheus, and for logging, we've integrated it with Loki and Promtail. Apart from this, we're looking to explore it as an APM at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Grafana Labs? Difficult to create a custom dashboard. Better UI is needed for Loki logs. Real-time logs are still a challenge. Different data sources cannot be used in the same graph at the same time, causing a visual comparison of the data to be difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Grafana Labs solving and how is that benefiting you? We're using node-exporter, cadvisor, mongo-exporter, mysql-exporter, pm2 exporter and nginx exporter to send data to prometheus and plot graphs on grafana for real-time monitoring. Pretty helpful to debug and provide RCA for any incidents that occur. Getting application logs using the loki docker plugin and getting logs on Grafana on a container-level. We hope to implement grafana tempo soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Service Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/9/2023 "Gain exceptional visuals and insights with Grafana" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Grafana Labs? I'm most impressed with how Grafana allows us to visualize and understand complex relationships between data that were previously difficult to see. The detailed analytics generated by the platform allow us to anticipate our needs for an optimal user experience, such as monitoring server performance levels or tracking temperature and humidity in a data center environment. By using these graphical representations of information, we can easily determine appropriate action plans to ensure the successful operation of any application landscape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Grafana Labs? I dislike that Grafana's edit mode is inferior to its query mode, making it difficult for users unfamiliar with SQL to modify databases and graphs. A necessary improvement would be a more user-friendly editing interface so that non-expert users can make their own changes without having to ask someone else for help in writing the necessary query. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Grafana Labs solving and how is that benefiting you? I'm benefiting from using Grafana because I can monitor and analyze the data collected by my various IoT sensors in real time.
